29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dug deep to win over C&D (good) in May and followed up over fences here (3m1f, good) a month later; posted another good effort over fences here on latest outing and has possibilities, despite new career-high mark. |

10st 10lb |
Came good with game hurdle win here (3m1f, good) in May and fended off Star Turn to follow up in C&D (good) chase three weeks ago; makes obvious appeal in current form. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently in May; needs to bounce back from below-par run here three weeks ago but probably still on a workable mark; dangerous to ignore. |
14/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Yard also runs Rauzan but this one has three C&D wins from six visits here; latest win was last month and he went close under 7lb penalty over 3m1f here two days later; those were his only two runs since latest wind surgery; raised another 4lb today but he has to be on the shortlist. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won the 2m6f handicap on this card 12 months ago and returned to form with a 2l success over that same trip on Monday (following a wind operation); did that comfortably and must have every chance under a penalty. |

Only 3-33 and without a win since 2024; however, arrives here on the back of some solid efforts in defeat, even last time when seventh. |
5/1 |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Only 3-32 and without a win since 2024; however, he has added some consistency to his game this year with four successive placed efforts and his mark hasn't really gone anywhere. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Tailed off on stable debut in April but placed three consecutive times since, most recently when rallying third of ten at Cartmel (3m1f, good) four weeks ago; probably won't be far away. |

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. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including last two editions of this race; would appeal sightly more on ground slower than good but his fourth here (3m1f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and his well-held fifth over C&D last month came in a much stronger race than this; high on the list. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Scored over fences in December 2024 but pulled up in that sphere in three consecutive races this year; resumed over hurdles last month with two solid efforts when third twice at this track, once over today's distance in a visor (retained); races prominently but needs his natural enthusiasm to be harnessed. |
13/2 |

5th 8 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
After three successive pull-ups over fences he got back on track when close up in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Monday when in a first-time visor; if turned out again he'd command a level of respect. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Dual C&D hurdle winner, including last month, and not disgraced at Cartmel 17 days ago off this mark; return here is a plus, but he is still to win off a mark this high. |
16/1 |

6th 1 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

Doubled his hurdle tally over nearly 3m at Hexham this month and that was on the back of good runs in defeat; raised 6lb but has placed form under the returning Rebekah Duffy who claims 7lb. |

11st 6lb |
Won over 2m1f (good) here last summer and was second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); back down to a tempting mark now but has not been operating at the same level this year; needs change of headgear to perk him up. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Won over 2m1f (good) here last summer and was second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); not at same level this year (four runs) and was tailed off last time (2m1f) but can't be ruled out off current mark. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-8; scuppered his chance by making a final-fence mistake over C&D (The Flying Poet took full advantage) in May; unseated rider early over fences at Kelso next time and far from fluent back over hurdles at Cartmel latest; risks attached. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 6yo; in this new headgear combination when a late mistake (and some wandering) cost him a 3m chase at Perth and again he showed some quirks when ducking right and unseating at the first fence at Kelso on Sunday; capable of having a say on this return to hurdling but comes with an element of risk. |
13/2 |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who advanced his form on his chasing debut (in a first-time hood) when a short-head second of eight in 3m handicap at Perth 11 days ago, looking probable winner until blundered last; up 6lb but merits serious consideration in retained headgear. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Bettered low-key stable debut (over hurdles) when second to Passengerontheship over C&D in June and and again ran well when third over C&D (also good) last month; up in grade but remains well handicapped on some of his form for Jamie Snowden (including on soft/heavy ground); likely contender. |

Won a 2m6f handicap hurdle when trained in Ireland but was pulled up in three successive handicaps last year for Joanne Foster; opposable, despite since winning two small-field points since. |
