Irish bumper winner who struck 3 times over hurdles in 2024/25 campaign. Restricted to just 2 outings last season but they were both creditable in-frame efforts. Has gone well fresh.
|
Fetched £60,000 after winning an Irish point and progressive when landing novice and handicap wins over 19f at Taunton last spring. Below par fifth at Wetherby on final start but could resume his improvement this season.
|
Low-mileage 5-y-o who made a fine start to his career for Tom Symonds last season. Found a chunk of improvement to split a trio of subsequent winners when second on handicap bow at Newbury (19f, good) in March. Makes obvious appeal having switched to Dan Skelton ahead of reappearance.
|
Ended a long losing run at Sandown in April but below par over hurdles since, including at Chepstow last month. Was a creditable second on the Flat at Kempton 18 days ago but he returns to hurdles with a point to prove.
|
Expensive bumper recruit who won a course maiden hurdle last season. Off 7 months, shaped as if better for run when seventh of 15 in handicap at Chepstow (19f, good to soft) 35 days ago, not ideally placed. Remains unexposed and he was successful second time out last season.
|
Landed the Summer Hurdle (form worked out well) at Market Rasen on his only hurdle start for James Owen and has remained in form back on the Flat since, including fourth of 29 in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2¼m, good to firm) latest. High on the list back hurdling.
|
Landed a fifth career 2m handicap hurdle success at Leicester (heavy) last December. Off 5 months, good second of 9 in 2m Perth handicap (soft) 4 weeks ago. It's taken a while for connections to step him up in trip but he's often left the impression this sort of test could suit him.
|
Point winner who went 2-2 in maiden/novice hurdles at Newton Abbot (both 2¾m, good) at the start of the summer. May have the odd quirk (cheekpieces quickly reached for last time) but brings obvious unexposed potential to this handicap debut.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Has posted 2 creditable runner-up efforts in handicaps in Ireland since joining current stable but more will be needed to go one better off this British mark.
|
Fit from Flat, made a good return to hurdles when second of 15 at Listowel (2½m, good to soft) in September. Each-way claims for his much-respected Irish stable.
|
Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser in France but failed to complete over fences on his final 2 outings there and made an inauspicious start for his new yard when pulled up in Ascot handicap hurdle in March. Would need to see support to consider on return.
|
Winner of handicaps around 23f at Uttoxeter (heavy) and Market Rasen (good to soft) last winter but lost his form at the end of season and fared no better on Newton Abbot return 16 days ago.
|
Opened his account in novice at Cork (17f) in May but has failed to reproduce that form in handicaps since, including beaten just over 16 lengths when fourth of 13 in Punchestown handicap (2½m, good to soft) last month.
|
Runner-up in 2m Chepstow handicaps either side of his Leicester success (2m, heavy) last winter. Ran poorly back at Chepstow when last seen in April. Stamina to prove back from 6 months off.
|
Maiden hurdler winner who was effectively making his handicap debut (fell early first attempt) when making a successful reappearance at Plumpton (21f, soft) 11 days ago. Did that with something to spare and respected under a 7-lb penalty for a stable which has tasted recent success in this.
|
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner at Ludlow. Shaped with promise to hit the frame in a couple of summer handicaps at Market Rasen/Stratford. Freshened up since a below-par third at Stratford in July. Returns in a hot race.
|
Shaped as if ready to capitalise on a reduced mark when second at Uttoxeter (2½m) and Newton Abbot (2¾m) in recent months. Hampered and fell first when 7/2 for a 2½m course handicap 3 weeks ago.
|
Much improved to win his first 2 handicap hurdles at around 2½m at the beginning of 2026. Further progress when second of 8 on 17f Newton Abbot reappearance in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago.

GLANCING JACK's Newbury handicap debut second in March is strong form and he can make a successful reappearance for new trainer Dan Skelton. High Fibre's excellent start for the James Owen yard includes a Summer Hurdle win at Market Rasen and a fourth in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket last month so he's an obvious threat. Keno Black has a similar profile to his yard's 2024 winner of this and is next on the list ahead of Norman Fletcher and unexposed Paul Nicholls handicap newcomer Outmaster.
