20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed in all three bumpers last year in 2024; did not show a great deal over hurdles last year but had soft ground as a plausible excuse when tailed off here (2m1f) on handicap debut a year ago; tries a new trip on this first start since; worth a glance in the betting. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in all three bumpers last year; did not get competitive in first three hurdle races but his fifth at Perth (2m, good) in May was more encouraging and he's open to significant further progress in handicaps. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Very close second in five-runner bumper here last September but well beaten on all three hurdling starts this year; has too much to prove. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle starts; not disgraced when fourth of seven over about 2m6f (if additional yardage is included) at Market Rasen (good) last month, though, and may yet have a bigger run in him. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden; returning from a near five-month absence when finishing a weakening fifth of ten to Banderas at Hexham (2m4f, good; 22-1) 24 days ago; now 3lb lower but in need of sharp improvement. |
16/1 |

10st 10lb |
Has hinted at ability but he finished a remote last in December on handicap debut at Catterick (2m4f, good), which leaves him with plenty to prove. |

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. |
7/2 |

5th 13 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Three wins over 2m6f from ten races at Cartmel, all on softer than good; tends to pop up once a year and latest run was a return to near his best; considered despite being 5lb above his highest winning mark; yard runs three. |
8/1 |

4th 4 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

Three course wins over 2m6f; below par in two races before finishing fifth behind Evenwood Sonofagun here on Monday; has to step up. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score over C&D (good) last month; hiked up 10lb for that and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but still an obvious one to consider. |
5/2 |
|
1st 10 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has shown bits of form that give him claims, such as when third at Perth (2m4f, good) in April, but pulled up at Hexham (2m7f, good) last month; his mark continues to fall but he needs to show more consistency. |
20/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden over hurdles but produced his best effort yet when third at Perth (2m4f, good) latest; 1lb lower now and he's one to consider if able to back that up. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat; back over hurdles for new stable this season, with by far the best of three runs a close second at Warwick (2m, good) two starts ago; pulled up over 2m1f since and not easy to predict over this new trip. |
9/2 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Sole success came on the Flat in a Sandown maiden in 2023 when trained by Alan King; beaten 29l on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 18 days ago in his first handicap hurdle; best watched. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
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. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Not beaten all that far in 2m6f/3m1f handicaps on last two starts but he was a weakener late on; others appeal more. |

7th 6 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |

Free-goer who won twice at Bangor last year (2m3f/2m7f); absent since consecutive heavy defeats last July/September, though, and returns with quite a bit to prove. |

5th 2 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day. |

Consistent in defeat last autumn and winter (2m3f-2m4f) but well below best since returning from three-month break this spring (three runs), and was pulled up over C&D on only previous visit here. |

Consistent without winning last autumn and winter, but checked out tamely behind Lady Fortune on last month's return here (2m6f, good); mixed record of seeing out stayers' trips, an Irish point win notwithstanding. |

10st 2lb |
0-9 in points and 0-7 under rules; tailed off on last month's chasing debut (1m7f), after a break, and now reverts to hurdling in new headgear; 9lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |
33/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

One second place from nine otherwise mostly poor efforts in Irish points, and operating below a winning level over hurdles back in the autumn; limited appeal on chase debut from 7lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden Irish pointer who was well beaten in three Cartmel novice hurdles (2m1f-2m6f) this summer; still very unexposed under rules but needs major improvement on this handicap debut; 2lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |
