2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over C&D (Class 5, good; same mark) last July; has mixed hurdling with Flat racing this year and wasn't beaten far when third over C&D (good; 7-1, Just Dottie fifth) 25 days ago; highly likely to give his running, even though he isn't a frequent winner. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Good fourth at Musselburgh in March but tailed off in his last run over hurdles and down the field on the Flat last week; others look more likely. |

Tailed off over hurdles last time but ran well in that code in March; he's on a handy mark on last year's best Flat form; not ruled out. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
2-17 over hurdles; not yet proven over quite this far but posted good effort when third at Perth (2m4f, good) this month and didn't run badly over 2m1f on only previous visit to Cartmel; could have a say. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
C&D winner off 6lb lower at this meeting last season when with Adam Nicol (good); has since won at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) but has a bit to find with Betteryouthanme on recent Hexham form. |

Flat winner who is 0-8 over hurdles but hasn't been running badly; more new headgear tried but can go well. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Yet to score in this sphere but he arrives in good form, fourth of nine in 2m Perth handicap 13 days ago; he can make his presence felt again with blinkers added. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful at his best on the Flat; 0-6 over hurdles but was third off today's mark over C&D (good) in July and also ran well when filling same position at Kelso (2m2f, good) last week; one to consider. |

C&D winner who hasn't found her form in three starts following a break and there are stamina concerns to overcome at this trip. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner who remains 4lb above her last winning mark (Hexham); low key in two C&D starts this year, beaten 19l and 17.5l respectively; this race is easier but she still needs to raise her game. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Stuck in a bit of a rut right now and he's at his best with some give underfoot; others preferred from 2lb out of the weights. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive 7yo who never really got competitive when sixth over C&D (good) last month; far too well handicapped to rule out but needs to stage a revival. |
5/1 |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Not really firing on all cylinders since the winter but has slipped to a very tempting mark and, with blinkers refitted, was not beaten far when fifth in recent C&D handicap fought out by Just Dottie and Mack The Man. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't the best of win records (4-43 over hurdles), last win coming over 2m2f here in September 2023; good fourth over 2m5f here last month, but tailed off last time; 10lb out of the handicap. |
33/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Returned to form with 2l fourth of 11 behind Looking Splendid at Kelso (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; however, it's over two years since this 10yo last won and he's even further out of the handicap this afternoon. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice here (including over C&D) in 2023 but this year's pointing form is uninspiring and he has struggled back over fences and hurdles in last three starts; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove. |

0-6 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and ran well for a long way before weakening into fifth at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; could have a say here. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Hinted at possible return to form when third in 3m chase here in May but was pulled up (lame) in another of those here ten days ago and is now 0-6 for current stable; looks opposable in this 2m hurdle. |
14/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on first three starts for Andrew Hamilton but his C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie) third in May was a big step back in the right direction; suffered a mishap at Hexham last time but has possibilities if able to build on that previous effort. |
16/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Started off for Andrew Hamilton with three heavy defeats but last month's third at Perth (3m, good) was a big step back in the right direction; may benefit from today's drop back in trip and can cope if there's rain about; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |
