20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
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. |

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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The last of his 11 wins was in July 2024 but he missed most of last year and has taken minor honours in the first (C&D) and latest of his five starts this term; not totally ruled out. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Returned from an absence with an encouraging third at Salisbury (1m6f, good) in May and he's now 7lb lower; however, he's failed to threaten on his three starts since and has to raise his game. |
16/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple wins include six on the Flat, but none of any description since July 2024; absent 389 days before his Salisbury third in May but two major backward steps have followed; off ten weeks and down the weights. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Wincanton specialist who kept on for second there (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); he's run well here in the past but needs to prove his stamina, having faded over 3m1f at Wincanton in December. |

2nd 5 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Gained all three chase wins over C&D, the latest off today's mark on seasonal debut in December (good to soft); has suffered a slump in form this winter, though, and has questions to answer now; tongue-tie added. |
10/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made it 3-7 over fences with narrow win on his C&D reappearance (good to soft) in December; only 1lb higher here but he's been disappointing since that last success and was pulled up at Exeter (first-time blinkers) last time; regular cheekpieces are now reapplied but he needs to get back in track. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Very productive in 2025 but has gone the opposite way this year; pulled up in last two outings and, although 1lb below last winning mark, he is best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |
20/1 |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Last year's winner (from 14lb lower); went clear from the last to score at Haydock (2m Class 3, good to soft; from a similar mark) last December; more miss than hit (0-5) since, though, weakening quickly (pulled up) in the Cartmel Cup latest; risky proposition currently. |
25/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Well handicapped on his two chase wins this spring but he returned after a break with a laboured effort back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last month; has bit to prove again after that and his last hurdle win was two years ago. |
25/1 |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Largely consistent 10yo who won three 2m4f chases last season; reverts to hurdling on a lower mark but has fitness to prove after 115-day absence and his usual cheekpieces are missing. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C&D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again. |

7th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who is rated lower over fences after struggling in her first two attempts in late 2021; however, she gave it a right go on returning to this discipline over C&D three weeks ago when conceding the lead only late on (Shaw's Cross runner-up); this is a higher grade but she is entitled to a second look. |
13/2 |

3rd 4 |
18th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Struggled in two chases in late 2021 and has raced exclusively over hurdles since; scored off 5lb higher mark here (2m, soft) in March and might have needed last month's reappearance run but still looks risky on this switch back to fences; usual hood removed; cheekpieces remain. |

29th Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came on Polytrack at Deauville (12.5f) in August 2021; made the frame in three of his seven starts over hurdles after joining this yard, but he never figured here on Flat (1m3f/2m) on last two outings; wore cheekpieces on last four starts, now it's a visor. |

28th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Fairly useful form on the Flat in France in 2021, including a 1m4f Polytrack maiden; however, he disappointingly hasn't bettered modest form over hurdles in Britain since and can only be watched back on the Flat in a good race. |
