17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 1m4f/1m2f handicaps here in April, latterly under Harry Vigors off 2lb lower; then struggled at York's Dante meeting; back from a break with a second over hurdles last month; might just be vulnerable against rivals with lower mileage. |

2nd 13 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner (good/soft); returned to form with two Flat wins in April, but was soundly beaten when back over hurdles here in June and contests a much stronger race today. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has been running on the Flat, winning 1m4f/1m2f handicaps before a respectable effort in a competitive race at York; capable hurdler with winning form here and James Murray takes off a useful 7lb. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Changed stables earlier in the season and has won twice since, both at Worcester (2m, good); not at the top of his game when fourth at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago but he was ridden more patiently than usual and is better than that; could be a contender. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 |
25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Prevailed in three-way photo-finish (that also involved Al Mootamarid) to win over C&D (good) on stable debut in July and added to his tally in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; might be a shade vulnerable after latest 4lb rise but can given another good account. |
11/2 |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Narrowly won a handicap at Worcester on stable debut and only 3l away back there two weeks ago; less to prove than some in here and should have a say. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Veteran whose largely consistent form this term includes a July success; close second behind an odds-on shot from the Willie Mullins yard over C&D (good) most recently; solid claims. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 |
29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran; won this race off an 11lb lower mark last year; in good form this summer, winning at Cartmel in July (2m1f, good) and being placed on both starts since; a possible. |

Veteran who arrives in excellent form, scoring at Cartmel (2m1f) in July before second in 11-runner handicap there (2m1f) ten days ago; a likely player again. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Below best over C&D (good to firm) last month but could improve for that first outing in two months; he's a three-time winner at Kelso, the latest over C&D (good) in May; no surprise if he plays a leading role. |
6/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |

Pulled up/well beaten at Cartmel on his two starts this summer but he won over this C&D (good) in May to further enhance his good record at Kelso; he's just 1lb above that last winning mark and could go well. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Flat win here (1m) two years ago and added a juvenile hurdle to his tally in November 2024; 2025 campaign was a damp squib but there were more promising signs when fourth at Ayr (1m, good to soft) on last month's return to action; failed to back it up over C&D 23 days ago. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Gave good account when third of 12 in C&D (good to soft) selling handicap in May but has modest 1-22 strike-rate over hurdles and ran poorly when last in action; others appeal more. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Bumper/hurdle winner; still relatively early days with this yard and not beaten too far in either run following a break; on a competitive mark. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with Mark Walford all that long and returned from break with respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) this month; ought to cope if the ground eases here; shortlisted. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |
9/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |

Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made light of a year's absence to take a 2m6f Cartmel handicap in July (Time Was 20l behind), but beaten before the extra distance became an issue at Perth (3m) subsequently; something to prove after that, but mark remains competitive set against his peak bumper form. |
5/2 |

6th 7 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Promise in bumpers; low key over hurdles until showing fine attitude when scoring at Cartmel (2m6f, good; 14-1) four weeks ago; that breakthrough win came after a year off so there's potentially more to come; 4lb rise seems fair so should be thereabouts. |
4/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed in all three bumpers last year in 2024; did not show a great deal over hurdles last year but had soft ground as a plausible excuse when tailed off here (2m1f) on handicap debut a year ago; tries a new trip on this first start since; worth a glance in the betting. |

Regressive 9yo but ran okay in this new headgear combination last time when rallying into fifth, finishing behind Mojo Ego and Heart Above; that's something to build on; Alan Doyle claimed 5lb that day but can't now. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Regressive 9yo who is yet to add to his C&D win in June 2022; ran well for a long way when placed at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month but was soundly beaten here a fortnight later; cheekpieces refitted today. |

Won over C&D in June (good to soft) and runner-up to Rory's Story in his only subsequent chase start; however, he was very disappointing over hurdles here on Saturday. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest chase win on this track (2m1f, good to soft; several wins on good) in June; creditable hurdle run the time before but below best in this sphere subsequently, including over C&D latest; needs revival. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere. |

10st 10lb |
Disappointing Flat maiden who was well beaten when 66-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen (2m, good), where he raced too freely and jumped left throughout; blinkers added here; too risky. |

17-race maiden who became disappointing on the Flat and hasn't exactly hit the ground running over hurdles, going down by between 17l and 24l in his qualifying races; clearly entitled to do better now handicapping but he's unconvincing. |

0-12 over hurdles; ran well when fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last month but was not seen to same effect over 2m7f there a fortnight later; drops back in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |
