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. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Gained last three wins over C&D but they were on good ground; failed to beat a rival on heavy going here (race won by El Gavilan) last time; forecast conditions look unfavourable. |
16/1 |
|
4 |
16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front over C&D (good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; slightly disappointing when well-held fourth in recent selling handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but still enters calculations. |
3/1 |
|
4th 3 |
29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; well held when second in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) this month but the winner has performed well in much stronger company since; probably won't be far away. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four hurdle wins, including this race in 2022; well held in C&D selling handicap in May, after a break, but last month's keeping-on second here was much better and he remains on a workable mark. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
He has competitive form here but not last month when tailed off in a selling handicap; that was after 167 days away but he had to show more. |
25/1 |

8th 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Absent since December but that was a good run at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) and he has competitive form here on good ground; one to consider. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Mixes chasing with hurdling and he's stuck on a losing run; last three efforts thoroughly underwhelming. |
20/1 |

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 |
11st 1lb |
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. |

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. |
16/1 |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

11st 8lb |
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. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 |
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. |
8/1 |

10 |
21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
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. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest 2-34 career strike-rate and needs to rebound from a poor run here in December but her C&D second two starts ago was a good effort and she has obvious claims if judged on that performance. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
AW winner last September and in March (1m2f); a straggler over hurdles, hence the rock-bottom mark (and 4lb wrong today) but she's willing on the Flat and she might well fare much better now handicapping. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-Dan Skelton; several good runs for Rebecca Menzies last season, including when third at Kelso on latest start in November (3m, soft); just as effective on this better ground; each-way chance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Left Dan Skelton after winning at Stratford (2m2f, good; from 7lb lower) in July; visored at Wetherby (2m5f-3m) on last two starts when thereabouts from the front, without fully seeing out his race; ground conditions softer than ideal but he looks a player. |
11/4 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |

Bumper/handicap winner; up and down profile but made the frame in a first-time visor over 3m here recently and shouldn't mind dropping back in trip; bit to find with Belladinotte who was second in that race. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

0-19 and she was last to finish in a 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen last month; others more persuasive. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Struggled to get competitive in second half of last year and returns from break with overall strike-rate standing at 0-35; 4lb wrong; overlooked. |

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. |
