4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has three wins over fences but after finishing last of four at Hereford last month, he exploited a lower hurdles mark when successful at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; needs to use that momentum back over the larger obstacles. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Better known as a chaser now but was third in a better race than this when reverting to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy; also suited by good) last month, and subsequent 32l defeat over fences came in a good-quality contest; must be considered. |
3/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Seven wins in all, most recently at Market Rasen and Ludlow this time last year; didn't shape too badly over hurdles at Warwick (jumped right) last time, and this return to fences on a right-handed track should suit him; not ruled out. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was in July 2022 but he returned to the Flat for new yard with a front-running third at Pontefract (1m2f, good; tongue-tie added) two weeks ago; that was an encouraging effort after a break and he has possibilities if he can build on that. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won in France in 2020 and scored over C&D in 2022 but has developed a rocky profile and was in poor form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; has joined Martin Keighley (same owners) but watching brief advised on this comeback in a tongue-tie. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dropped out of contention rather tamely at Uttoxeter (2m) last week and is now 0-11 over hurdles; has quite a bit to prove on this first venture beyond about 2m1f. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time Flat winner; 0-10 as a hurdler but first run for this yard when faring quite well in a 2m1f novice at Cartmel; has shown she can be competitive off this mark. |
4/1 |

4th 11 |
28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
0-9 over hurdles and seemingly exposed now but she was consistent on good/good to soft ground last season and won't be far away if conditions remain suitable for her here. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all in a big field here (2m) last July and he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and needs to turn things around. |
7/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win by 5l on heavy ground here (1m6f) in September and will warrant consideration if conditions become similarly testing today but his seasonal debut was disappointing and he's not one to rely upon. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who made all in Flat handicaps on Tapeta (1m6f) and turf (2m, heavy) in the second half of last year; ended last season on a low note but he still has scope for further progress and needs watching in market on his return. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
12yo whose seven wins have been registered at either Market Rasen or Carlisle; latest was last April and she's now 9lb lower after a lean spell, but there were major signs of a revival on latest start before she fell (held in second at the final flight); considered but this may not be her track. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time C&D scorer, including in this race 12 months ago; well below par this term, coming in last of 14 over C&D 20 days ago but this veteran mare still can't be totally dismissed from a plummeting mark. |
12/1 |
|
14th 11 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Veteran mare who has won seven races, three of them over C&D, but hasn't been in the best of form this season and others appeal more. |
33/1 |
