23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won two chases in a row in late 2025 and she's 3lb below her last winning mark; however, she hasn't been at the same level on her three starts since and is just 1-24 over hurdles as opposed to 3-11 over fences. |

9th 8 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Better over fences than hurdles, notching back-to-back Musselburgh chase wins (2m4f) last November/December; tough task in Carlisle Class 2 (beaten 38l) when last seen 146 days ago; this should bring her on with a return to fences (rated 5lb higher) likely. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Soundly beaten at Cartmel three weeks ago but the ground (good to soft, soft in places) may have been slower than ideal; in good heart there previously, posting a win (2m6f, good) and a creditable third (2m6f, good), and she's capable of having a big say. |

5th 7 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Returned from layoff with comfortable win here (2m6f) in June and was creditable third in competitive race over that trip here (also good) in July; respected on that evidence and stays this longer distance but significant rain will reduce her appeal. |
100/30 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Returned from eight-month break in excellent form three weeks ago, winning comfortably by 10l over C&D (good); 8lb higher in higher-grade race today but still considered. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |
16/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
In fairly good form (albeit without winning) at regular haunt Cartmel this spring/summer and has edged his way down to a good mark; unraced here but has a fighting chance if suited by the track. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Three-time C&D winner who was placed on quicker-than-ideal ground over C&D (good) last month; didn't run badly when fifth here (3m1f, good; just behind Masterminding) on Saturday and rain will aid his cause. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time course winner over 2m6f; remains on a workable mark after last month's creditable third over that trip here (good) and will be favoured by the forecast rain; major player. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Useful when trained in Ireland but generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; ought to have coped much better with the soft ground when pulled up at Cartmel last month; others preferred. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Useful when trained in Ireland but generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; arrested decline with respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks ago but needs to build on that run. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Useful performer in Ireland back in the day but has regressed sharply and very opposable on exploits for current yard. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
As good as ever when scoring at Southwell (3m, good) in June, but was well below that form on latest outing and was reportedly unsuited by rain-softened ground when disappointing on only previous visit to Cartmel. |
12/1 |
|
11th 7 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Back-to-back wins (2m4f/2m7f) last summer and went in again at Southwell a month ago (3m, good; made most); didn't win with all that much in hand but only went up 4lb. |
5/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Recorded back-to-back wins at Perth (2m4f) and Market Rasen (2m7f) last summer; should strip fitter for his first run after nearly nine months off when third at Kelso (2m5f, good) last month and holds claims. |

Won a 3m chase here in October last year (soft); below par all seven runs this year (six of them here); best watched for now. |

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

Pulled up on both starts since his wind op in June, latterly when reverting to hurdling over C&D; 1lb wrong today and urgently needs to prove some ability remains. |

C&D winner in 2023; currently out form and he's 5lb out of the weights; another change of headgear. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a Cartmel handicap in August 2023 (2m1f, soft); not been in much form since a Hexham second in June (2m, good to soft); others appeal more. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Only win was over 2m1f on soft; wasn't in best of form when last seen out and perhaps best watched on return from a break on first run beyond 2m6f; tongue-tie now tried. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Well below best since returning from a long layoff this year, most recently when never-dangerous sixth behind Top Flight Century at Perth (2m4f, good) 18 days ago, and is yet to add to his C&D win in 2022. |
20/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Well below best since returning from a long layoff this year, and was tailed off in plating company when tried in a visor at Cartmel (2m1f) last time; cheekpieces are refitted here; needs to prove he still has what it takes. |
20/1 |

11 |
28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won over 2m6f here in 2022 and ought to cope better than some of these if the ground softens but has not shown a great deal since returning from a long layoff this year; wore cheekpieces the last time; visor tried today. |
