31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Effective on good and soft ground; gained three of his ten chase wins over C&D; not firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in May, though, and needs last month's wind operation to have made a difference. |

3rd 4 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has won ten of his 30 chases, four of them last year; hasn't been in quite such good form this term, last time finishing 8l fourth of six at Cartmel (3m1f, good), but he's on a good mark now. |
11/2 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Admirable strike-rate of 10-29 over fences; won this 12 months ago off 1lb higher and had only five starts in the meantime, the latest respectable in a higher grade behind stablemate Stratagem; chance. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Did at least get round last time but was pretty much tailed off and didn't jump that well; others safer. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easily reeled in and was pulled up after blasting off in front at Market Rasen a fortnight ago (well backed), and has now failed to complete all four races this year; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D but needs to get career back on track. |
9/1 |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Last win came in this race 12 months ago when 4lb lower; can struggle to find fluency over his fences and hasn't completed in his last three races; bit risky. |

Won a 2m5f Cartmel handicap in June; flopped twice at the same venue in July; plenty to prove as a result. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Long on the tooth now but was in good form when last seen in the spring, winning at Hexham (3m, good to soft) before chasing home Sir Carnegie over same C&D (good); dangerous if allowed to dominate. |

2nd 1 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Stayed on to win this off topweight back in 2023, and gamely back in the winners' enclosure over C&D (from 5lb lower) latest; his jumping was immaculate that day, with his trainer stating that he had drawn benefit from being able to dominate; this rates as a tougher test. |

1st 7 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran; has won on soft ground, but seems best on good ground; fair second over C&D in October (good) but has been beaten more than 30l on his two subsequent starts. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Took this 12 months ago; winless since but he didn't enjoy a smooth run when sixth of eight in 3m1f handicap chase at Cartmel in May; no surprise to see this three-time course scorer play a prominent role back here. |
13/2 |
|
6th 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
A three-time scorer (including over C&D) last season; hinted at a revival when a never-nearer fifth over 3m4f at Taunton last month so needs considering off a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time chase winne, the latest at Ffos Las (3m4f, good) off this mark in October; has been below par in three runs since but his usual cheekpieces are back on and he may appreciate this better ground. |
