2nd 1 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gained two of his five hurdle wins over C&D, the latter on good ground last month; 6lb higher today but has 10lb claimer enlisted, and can cope with some rain; ought to make his presence felt again. |

1st 3 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four hurdle wins, including this race in 2022; well held in C&D selling handicap in May, after a break, but last month's keeping-on second here was much better and he remains on a workable mark. |

He has competitive form here but not last month when tailed off in a selling handicap; that was after 167 days away but he had to show more. |

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. |
3/1 |

2 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home over C&D (good) last month and has now won three of his last four; probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 5lb rise but must be considered in current mood. |

3rd 8 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Opened British account with ready win at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) last month and both subsequent runs (2m1f/2m) were perfectly respectable; seems versatile ground-wise and is probably still on a workable mark; likely contender. |
3/1 |
|
5th 10 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-French winner who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first success for current yard at Newton Abbot (2m2f) in July; backed it up with a solid third (off a 7lb higher mark) in 2m1f Cartmel handicap since; can make his presence felt eased 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Took a while to get off the mark for current stable and had become expensive to follow but exploited much-reduced mark when winning stylishly at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) a week ago and still looks well treated under a 7lb penalty. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed behind Alvesta over C&D last month and kept on for fourth behind Zamond over C&D (also on good) two days later but his career strike-rate is now 0-43; 2lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |
12/1 |
|
4th 8 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Swapped usual cheekpieces for refitted visor and gave good account when third from 3lb out of the weights over C&D (good) on Saturday; will effectively be 1lb lower if he turns out again but his 0-42 career strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ran well to a point when fourth in C&D selling handicap won by Alvesta in May but was beaten about 19l in the end and has been safely held in two subsequent chases; 3lb wrong today and now 0-40 under rules. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Now 9lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) last August but his form has slumped since and a revival is needed. |

9th 10 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Won at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but form has slumped badly since and he has shown no sign of a revival in two runs since returning from a break in April. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ran well for a long way when third at Kelso (2m2f, good) in April but two lesser efforts have followed and he's now 0-7 for current stable; sometimes races too freely; others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Naas winner (2m4f maiden hurdle) for Stuart Crawford in December 2024; 0-6 for this trainer, beaten 25l at Hexham (2m, good; 9-1) six weeks ago; mark continues to slide, now 11lb lower than three starts back; others are more obvious. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 for current stable since the autumn but seemingly aided by refitted hood and/or first-time tongue-tie when respectable third at Kelso (2m2f, good) last month and has dropped another 3lb since. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Improved to cause 25-1 surprise in C&D (good) novice last month, her fourth start over hurdles, but the value of that form is open to question (market principals disappointed) and her opening handicap mark probably demands further progress. |

6th 5 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not threatened to supplement March 2025's lucky Catterick novice success (2m, good) in five starts since almost a year off, including over this C&D latest; tongue-tie returns. |
40/1 |
|
6th 3 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-French mare; fortunate to win small-field Catterick novice (1m7f, good) for Paula Smith on British debut in March 2025 and soundly beaten in all five subsequent handicaps, the last four times for new stable this year; drops back in trip (from 2m4f). |
