18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran whose largely consistent form this term includes a July success; close second behind an odds-on shot from the Willie Mullins yard over C&D (good) most recently; solid claims. |

2nd 1 |
29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran; won this race off an 11lb lower mark last year; in good form this summer, winning at Cartmel in July (2m1f, good) and being placed on both starts since; a possible. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran who arrives in excellent form, scoring at Cartmel (2m1f) in July before second in 11-runner handicap there (2m1f) ten days ago; a likely player again. |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Keeping busy this season and there have been ups and downs, but good to soft ground may not have suited at Chepstow last Friday and prior to that he was a good second at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good); might not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won in good style here (2m2f, good to firm) in July and has been placed twice elsewhere since, albeit about 8l behind God Of Fire at Fontwell (2m1f, good) on latter occasion; slightly disappointing at Stratford last time but still considered each-way. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Newton Abbot winner over a similar trip in July when 4lb lower; hasn't been overly threatening since, though wasn't far behind Mojo Ego in his penultimate race and Jack Stenhouse now takes off 5lb. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
44-race maiden; rallied for pressure over C&D (good; 14-1, with various hurdles omitted) a fortnight ago but was only a modest third; it isn't difficult to cast the eye elsewhere. |

Placed at Cartmel (2m1f, good; visored) in July but well beaten there last month and career strike-rate now stands at 0-44; 2lb out of the weights today; sports refitted cheekpieces. |

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. |

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

Didn't run badly when third here in April but he's struggled since and is 7lb out of the handicap this afternoon; others are preferred. |

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. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

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. |

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. |

Out of form for new stable this year and needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |

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 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

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). |
