Won a handicap here off 3lb higher in January 2024 (2m6f, heavy); has run only four times since; has form on this drier ground but no easy task after a break of 674 days. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent. |
9/2 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Last win came off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen in June last year (2m4f, good); not at her best last time but has a chance on her previous run when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft). |
9/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Scored at Market Rasen (on good ground) last June and she returned from a seven-month absence with a very good third of nine over C&D 11 days ago; this C&D winner can go very well off an unchanged mark. |

9st 9lb |
Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |

Just one win from her 28 starts and she needs to prove her stamina, but she's on a competitive mark on her Flat form last August/September and she ran pretty well over hurdles three weeks ago; trainer won this last year. |

Best run since going handicapping when 17l fourth of 12 over this C&D on good to soft four weeks ago; more needed; has an each-way chance. |

Gave pretty good account before fading into fifth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) on Tuesday but he's 0-11 over hurdles now and has to compete from just out of the weights. |

11st 2lb |
Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |
7/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |

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. |

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. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Maiden under both codes; seemed to appreciate the return to good ground here 18 days ago (2m5f) and having the visor back on was no bad thing; needs a bit more off the same mark but hard to dismiss. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

14-race maiden on Flat and over jumps; well beaten back over hurdles in her last three starts including in a handicap at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; still unexposed in this sphere but she needs a transformation back on good ground; visor reapplied. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Yet to win in eight runs over hurdles, but third over 2m1f here (good to soft) and over 2m3f at Doncaster (soft) and Catterick (good to soft; first two have both won since) on last three starts; chance. |

Made it 0-9 when no match for the front two at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last time but the runner-up has won since and this lightly raced 6yo is unexposed at today's trip; could be in the shake-up. |
9/2 |
