2nd Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced and generally very disappointing in recent years but proved he retains some ability as a teenager when 40-1 third of 14 at Kilbeggan (3m2f, good to yielding; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago; player if the new headgear continues to have a positive effect. |

Veteran has been lightly raced in recent years, with poor form shown; new cheekpieces need to reverse the march of time. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won over fences in Ireland in 2022 but has looked badly out of sorts on all five starts for current stable since December 2023; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers here; needs to prove some ability remains. |

Very lightly raced for his age but was badly out of form for this stable when last seen in 2023-24 season and returns from 426-day absence with a lot to prove. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Didn't fire in 3m1f race won by Judicial Review here last month and is not one to rely upon but ran big race when third to Defence Witness over C&D (good to soft) in May and has obvious claims if judged on that form. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three wins over fences and ran well when beaten just over a length into third of seven behind Defence Witness here (2m5f, good to soft) last time; 2lb better off and has won off 1lb higher, but has been pulled up in all three previous attempts beyond 2m5f; stable also runs Unwanted Attention. |

3rd 3 |
24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Kept on well to collar an idling Beat The Edge and score at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in February but it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution, and he managed only fifth when back at Sedgefied (2m5f, good) the following month. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Four chase wins in the second half of last year (3m/3m2f) and he regained the winning thread at Perth (3m, good) ten days ago following a break; had nearly 4l to spare and he's much respected off 6lb higher here. |
13/8 |

1st 7 |
24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won four times over fences last season from 3m to 3m2f, the second win coming in this race; the handicapper soon got hold him but a couple of his runs this year were fairly encouraging; back from a break, he could easily run well. |
6/1 |

8th 12 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |

15-race maiden; consistent over fences for Nicky Richards in early part of last season but absent since below-par run last October; back over hurdles for stable debut; the market may guide. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
No longer the force of old and very inconsistent nowadays but battled well for narrow C&D (soft) win over Judicial Review last month, his fifth course success; also suited by good ground and recent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again. |
7/2 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Four course wins, the latest over C&D in summer 2023; very much on the downgrade now, though, and never really looked dangerous when plugging on for modest third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Made it 4-6 for current when completing a chase hat-trick at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; 8lb higher on this return to hurdling, but that was another easy win last time, and this strong traveller has been a big improver this year; key player. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made it 3-5 since joining this stable with an easy win at Sedgefield (2m4f) four days ago, when unpenalised for a similarly comfortable C&D success seven days earlier when beating My Cullen; thriving at present and commands major respect under a penalty. |

Ex-Irish 8yo who is 2-4 for new stable this season, the latter win gained in conditional jockeys' race at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) a week ago; did that fairly comfortably by 7l and avoids a penalty here; obvious claims. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases last autumn (good/good to soft) but returned from break with two underwhelming runs here (3m1f/2m5f) last month and is not sure to be suited by this drop in trip; cheekpieces refitted. |

All three chase wins have been at Cartmel where he ran well below market expectations last month; another modest run here yesterday returned to hurdling; 6lb out of the weights. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Has won three chases at up to 3m1f, all at Cartmel; unexposed as a hurdler, having had just three runs, all at about 2m in 2023-24; interesting off his mark. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Record of 1-20 over fences and was disappointing last time, but he was placed three times in a row here (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft) in the spring; had wind surgery since his last run and could be dangerous back at this track on his return; cheekpieces reapplied. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has modest 1-19 strike-rate over fences and fell here when last in action but was placed three consecutive times off today's mark at Hexham (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft) in the spring; considered each-way. |
