14th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Front-runner who has won two chases this year, the latter at Cartmel (2m5f, good) in July; not quite in same form over that C&D last month (unable to lead) and not yet proven over this far but still features prominently in calculations. |
3/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Point winner who scored over fences at Newcastle (about 3m, good to soft) in March and made all over C&D (good) last month; had Blazing Court, Path Of Stars and Judicial Review close behind that day but a 2lb nudge is no reason to dismiss him. |

One of two to pull clear of the others when opening account at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March, and both subsequent fourths (3m/3m1f; latter was here) were perfectly respectable; may benefit from this drop back in trip; no surprise if he features. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Neck second at Cartmel in July (2m5f, good) is the outlier among the big defeats or non-completions otherwise recorded this term; 52l to find with Illogical Logic on their recent meeting. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Had shown precious little over the preceding 12 months until turning a page with 40-1 second to Aill Dubh over C&D (good) last month; 1lb nudge for that fast-finishing neck defeat looks very fair but significant rain would cast a long shadow (has been a multiple non-runner due to soft conditions). |

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. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Although only 1-16 as a hurdler, though that success came in May and she's continued to run well, in 2m5f handicap chases at Cartmel in her last two starts (latterly beaten 4l by Illogical Logic with whom she's 7lb better off); solid claims. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made the breakthrough when winning over hurdles here (2m6f, good) in May and it was an encouraging chase debut when she was beaten less than 2l by a couple of these over C&D last month; would need to prove she can handle soft ground should the heavens have opened, but otherwise of interest. |
5/1 |

4th 7 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
1-16 over hurdles, having gained a hard-fought course win (2m6f, good) in May; evidently well suited by this track but will need to find hidden reserves to overcome a 4lb higher mark on this chasing debut. |

All three chase wins have been at Cartmel where he ran well below market expectations last month; another modest run here yesterday returned to hurdling; 6lb out of the weights. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Has won three chases at up to 3m1f, all at Cartmel; unexposed as a hurdler, having had just three runs, all at about 2m in 2023-24; interesting off his mark. |

10st 2lb |
Sole win in 23 attempts over fences came at Stratford (3m4f, good to soft) in April 2024 and he's been largely underwhelming since; 8lb out of the weights and others have more obvious claims. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases last autumn (good/good to soft) but returned from break with two underwhelming runs here (3m1f/2m5f) last month and is not sure to be suited by this drop in trip; cheekpieces refitted. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Led close home to cause 25-1 surprise over C&D (good) in May, form that has been very well advertised by the placed horses (one was Kingofthegame) since; not in same form over hurdles last month but still strongly considered; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
This track (2m5f, good) last month saw him land his fourth race over fences, following a short break; resumes over hurdles where he is 10lb lower but yet to make the frame in this sphere; claims if he can transfer his chase form. |
8/1 |

11st 10lb |
Placed three consecutive times in March-May (2m4f-2m5f, good/good to soft) and has claims if judged on that form but didn't fire when well-held third of four on latest outing and also disappointed on only previous visit to Cartmel; usually ridden patiently; others appeal more. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice on good ground (2m5f/2m3f) for this new stable last season and has been placed on last three appearances, most recently when second over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower today and seems very likely to be in the thick of things again. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Holding form well since January's Catterick success (2m3f, good), actually achieving more on RPRs when a close third at Newcastle latest; still well treated on his 2023-24 peak form, and no ground concerns. |
9/2 |
