2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made light of a year's absence to take a 2m6f Cartmel handicap in July (Time Was 20l behind), but beaten before the extra distance became an issue at Perth (3m) subsequently; something to prove after that, but mark remains competitive set against his peak bumper form. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Promise in bumpers; low key over hurdles until showing fine attitude when scoring at Cartmel (2m6f, good; 14-1) four weeks ago; that breakthrough win came after a year off so there's potentially more to come; 4lb rise seems fair so should be thereabouts. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
In fairly good form (albeit without winning) at regular haunt Cartmel this spring/summer and has edged his way down to a good mark; unraced here but has a fighting chance if suited by the track. |
7/1 |

3rd 8 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Three-time C&D winner who was placed on quicker-than-ideal ground over C&D (good) last month; didn't run badly when fifth here (3m1f, good; just behind Masterminding) on Saturday and rain will aid his cause. |
5/1 |

5th 2 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time course winner over 2m6f; remains on a workable mark after last month's creditable third over that trip here (good) and will be favoured by the forecast rain; major player. |

11st 9lb |
Two wins at Cartmel this summer (2m6f/3m1f, good) and scored again at Perth (3m, good) three weeks ago; did it nicely last time and latest rise of 6lb may not stop this thriving 6yo. |

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

29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score here (2m6f, good) in June; managed only fourth (just behind Secret Secret) off new mark here last month but might have untapped potential over this new trip. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1m2f Flat winner for Alan King; yet to win over hurdles but a close second at Warwick in May (2m, good); fair run when stepped up to 2m6f at Cartmel in July (faded after the last) but bled from the nose when pulled up in a chase last time; bit to prove. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |

Ex-Alan King 6yo who is 1-30 overall, the win coming on the Flat in 2023; one effort of note for this yard when second over hurdles in May; well held on the Flat more recently; chase debut. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Alan King, with new yard this year; overall 0-7 over hurdles and 1-22 on the Flat; return to this sphere over 1m4f here (20-1) three weeks ago wasn't greatly persuasive but he is well down the weights. |

Won over 2m1f (good) here last summer and was second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); back down to a tempting mark now but has not been operating at the same level this year; needs change of headgear to perk him up. |

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. |

Two of his three wins (including over C&D) have come here; looked rusty after 11 months off when seventh of nine in 2m6f handicap at Cartmel in July; no surprise to see him take a step forward here. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-24 overall and a long way shy of her best since the winter; 20l to find with Drumlee Myth on their Cartmel clash in July, and pulled up with an irregular heartbeat on sole outing since; risky. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Winning pointer who is 0-23 under rules; consistent in defeat last autumn and winter (2m3f-2m4f) but hasn't got a lot going this summer and now tries a tongue-tie; a bit risky. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

4th 13 |
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. |
