16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All seven wins over hurdles between 2m-2m1f, including one at this track (good) in May; followed up at Perth (2m, good) the following month and maintained his form when runner-up at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in July; produced one of his lesser efforts when fifth of six at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) last month but looks worth another chance here. |
7/2 |

5th 5 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has progressed well with blinkers since his latest C&D win in April (good), scoring at Kelso and Perth (both over 2m on good) and finishing good second off a pound lower than today at Cartmel last month; chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Off mark over hurdles at 15th attempt, battling well to fend off Try Them in C&D (good) maiden in July, but found things tougher (albeit in a good race) when back in a handicap here last month and still needs to prove he can handle a mark this high. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at 15th attempt, with hard-fought success in C&D (good) maiden six weeks ago; has more on his plate in this good-quality handicap, though, and needs to kick on again. |
10/1 |
|
1st 4 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed 14-race maiden over hurdles (placed on seven occasions) who has some fair form to his credit, including when second in a C&D handicap last month (good); likely to find a couple too good. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win on the Flat since 2021, but he's on a reduced mark and did best of the rest behind an emphatic winner over C&D two weeks ago; was strong in the market for that race and has each-way claims again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Without a win on the Flat since 2021 and he came in only ninth of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap 23 days ago; others appeal more. |
9/1 |
|
9th 7 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent hurdler who returned to the Flat with respectable fourth (just behind Penelope's Sister) over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower today and might be better suited by the slightly slower ground; each-way claims at least. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat three weeks ago and now 0-13 since joining Iain Jardine but was second to Alvesta over C&D (good) on latest hurdling start and is also suited by slower ground; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Did well to finish third after stumbling at the start at Carlisle (1m1f, good) last month and has since run well over hurdles; no issue with track, trip or ground conditions and has possibilities for a trainer who has won this three times since 2021. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Her form has been mixed on the Flat and over hurdles this year and she's hasn't been at the top of her game over hurdles of late; however, she won this last year (soft) and shouldn't be discounted. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Gained all four hurdle wins over C&D; not at best this year and never really got competitive when tried over 2m4f here last month but wears a first-time tongue-tie and can't be ruled out off current mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four course wins (all over 2m); lacked the pace to challenge when third over that trip here (good; 4-1) early last month; finished down the field back on the Flat (1m2f) since; stablemate Follow Charlie has more to recommend. |

2nd 10 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

0-7 over hurdles, having been safely held over 2m here in all four handicaps; continues to slide down the weights and may yet burst into life but needs improvement over this new trip. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Safely held when sixth over C&D (good) on both recent outings and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts; not written off just yet but clearly needs to take a step forward. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
At Hexham it wasn't the first time he's been beaten by Illogical Logic, though in first-time cheekpieces he got to within 2l of the winner and he has a 4lb pull on him now; shouldn't be far away. |
15/2 |

2nd 3 |
2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Struggles either side of a wind operation this term have included a 21l beating by Illogical Logic at Cartmel in August and a 23l last of five at Sedgefield this week; cheekpieces are now reached for. |

5th 5 |
29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner (2m-2m4f) for Stuart Crawford; is yet to threaten (0-6) for Leonard Kerr and was well beaten reverting to hurdles at Perth (2m4f; 33-1) three weeks ago; the least likely candidate. |

11st 9lb |
Record of 2-6 over hurdles, though neither win came in a handicap; only one effort of note in five runs over fences and blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces; the stable probably has brighter prospects with Cosmic Soul. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |

Yet to score in this sphere but has made the frame on both starts since fitted with blinkers, albeit remote when third of six in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase 36 days ago; possibilities. |

3rd 6 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two novice hurdle wins last term (2m/2m4f, good) and he returned to form in first-time blinkers when going close here (2m3f, soft) last month on third chase start; kept on well last time so this step up in trip is worth a go; could have a part to play if the blinkers maintain their effect. |

11st 1lb |
Runner-up in the two handicaps he has completed and could have done with a truer pace when chasing home the market leader over 2m4f here last time; he's highly likely to get one here and he's one to consider. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Patiently ridden and bustled up the winner (Camarrate) at Newcastle (2m4f, good; from 2lb lower) on penultimate start; pulled up over C&D subsequently; still low mileage, so isn't a forlorn hope if bouncing back from that blip. |
12/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Improved form when 16-1 runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good) 12 days ago on second handicap start; needs to back up that latest performance but he's unexposed on good ground and drying conditions would aid his cause. |

In fine form earlier this year, notching a hurdles hat-trick at Sedgefield (2m1f-2m4f; rising 16lb); reportedly stopped quickly when beaten favourite over 2m here (last of 12, beaten 42l) in June; it's possible that we might see the best version of this 6yo off a ten-week absence. |
