5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
10yo who gained the latest of his eight career wins over this C&D (good; wore blinkers) last summer; soundly beaten on both outings this year but has blinkers refitted today and it won't be a shock if he stages a revival. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made all twice in a row in April (8.3f/1m, good); down the field at York (7f, good) but that was in a big field and he raced wide; could bounce back with a bold show if conditions suit (well beaten on soft going last November but displayed signs of promise on such ground early in career). |
7/1 |

15th 16 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has done all his winning on good ground, including over 1m at Nottingham and Ripon in last two starts; this front-runner switches to a much bigger field, which may not be ideal, but is otherwise at the top of his form; effective at 7f. |
15/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Built on Wolverhampton comeback run (7f) when showing a willing attitude to make all at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last Saturday; 3lb rise isn't insurmountable but he is set to compete from a career-high mark, so further progress is required. |

Three C&D wins, the latest in September off a 2lb lower mark; that race panned out perfectly though and latest Wolverhampton effort suggests he is vulnerable. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time C&D winner who went desperately close to making it three when pipped at the post by Flowstate (won twice since) last month; disappointed back here since but he's nicely handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Four wins last year, three on AW (6f/7f); some fair form since but has a bit to find with Instant Bond on recent form at Newcastle (6f); 4lb lower than last winning mark; first run here. |
11/2 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark and he didn't get much luck when third here (6f) last Thursday; could be a big factor if things go more to plan this time and his last three wins have been on Tapeta. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual C&D winner for Lauren Young, who's back up today, last autumn, latterly off a 2lb higher mark; expensive to follow since but won't mind coming back down from 7f and a case could be made. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Handy sort who bounced back to form with easy wins over this trip at Musselburgh (soft) and Ayr (heavy) this month; only fourth of ten off this mark over C&D (good) ten days ago, but ground conditions today may be more to his liking and he is respected back down in grade. |

9st 4lb |
Suddenly thriving again, racing up with the pace when winning over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this month; those successes came on soft/heavy ground but he has plenty of form on good to firm; more of a concern is a further 8lb rise to a career-high mark. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt. |
50/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Has dropped down the weights and his trainer is among the winners; however, he's struggled in the main this season and has been beaten 16 times since his sole win in March 2024. |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

0-13 since winning at Ayr last May but this two-time C&D winner has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); has won on good to soft; might not be far away. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break. |
20/1 |

2nd 1 (10) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not firing on all cylinders since a wind op in July; returning to AW may help but this looks a competitive race in which to try and bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
11 (12) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today. |
