23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won off 2lb lower at Kelso (2m5f, good) last April but he's not seen much action since and has been beaten 39l in both runs this year; has some questions to answer and he needs a big turnaround. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner (2m5f, good) a year ago; absent since disappointing run in January but his C&D (good to soft) second just after Christmas was a good effort and he'll be right in the thick of things if back on song today. |
8/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Campaigned at Kelso (2m5f/2m6f) since last April, posting form figures of 132; edging back up the weights and now goes into a much bigger field switched back to elsewhere; not certain to remain competitive. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
5lb higher than when a 6l winner of this last year, beating Ike Sport; returns on the back of two solid efforts at Newcastle; chance. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
This race was one of the three he won last season, all of them on good or good to soft at this trip; on his last winning mark and, after his running-on second over 2m1f here last time, should go well again. |
2/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won back to back at Aintree & Hexham (both 2m4f) last summer, rising to a career-high mark of 134; kicked off 2026 with a solid effort at Doncaster (2m4f, soft; runner-up) and he's capable of bouncing back from a lesser effort at Kelso since. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Good servant to connections over the years (six hurdle wins); on the downgrade now, though, and was just a respectable fifth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at regular haunt Wetherby (2m5f, good) last month. |

28th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has often run well here and he's well treated on course form as recent as November; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and this 10yo needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has a decent strike-rate, but below par since winning off a 10lb higher mark at Cartmel in August 2025 (3m1f, good; third course win); visor now tried (usually wears cheekpieces). |
11/1 |
|

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Three-time course winner including this race off a 6lb higher mark a year ago; effective on good and soft ground but has looked badly out of sorts on all three appearances (one over C&D) this season and needs a revival. |
14/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Happiest hunting ground is Cartmel, but a record of 225244P around today's C&D includes a neck second in this race in 2024 off 5lb lower, with Well Educated 23l behind; miles off his best in one start apiece at each of these venues so far this term, however. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Beaten 14 times since her last win in March 2025 and her form has taken a downturn; however, this three-time course winner is on a dangerous mark and she may have needed the run here last month following 116 days off. |
10/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time course winner who has dropped to a dangerous mark; however, she has to produce more than she managed on her last three outings in the spring if she's to post a first win since March 2025. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Low-mileage 11yo who ran well for a long way when upped to 2m7f and fitted with cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (good) in June, his only start this year; 3lb lower here; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Unbeaten in bumpers (2-2) and very lightly raced for his age; won a hurdle handicap at Doncaster (2m4f, good to soft) in December 2024 but he's had only two runs since and has struggled in both; has something to prove after another absence and he needs first-time cheekpieces to work. |
