8th 4 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three wins between 2m7f & 3m1f, most recently from a 4lb lower mark at Huntingdon in October; wasn't at his best when fourth at Worcester (beaten 19l) 37 days ago; dropping back to 2m4f represents a risk; others preferred. |

3rd 5 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Hinted at ability on hurdles debut here (2m5f, heavy) in September 2023 but has had just three runs since and been soundly beaten in all of them, latest on handicap debut in May; hard to fancy upped in trip. |

2nd 4 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Won last autumn on final two runs for Olly Murphy (3m2f/2m5f, good to firm/good to soft) and he took a step back in the right direction when third of six at Warwick (3m, good) in June when last seen; runs off his last winning mark and he might not be far away. |

2nd 4 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Sole success over fences when trained by Dan Skelton over two years ago; plenty of water under the bridge since but was still in with a chance when falling at the last fence over C&D (good to firm) in May; looks the obvious alternative should the favourite slip up. |
9/2 |
