18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a Warwick novice handicap chase (2m, soft) off an 8lb higher mark in March 2023; fair run when over hurdles at Bangor in June (2m, good); cheekpieces tried; bit to prove. |
7/1 |

11st 10lb |
Generally disappointing since winning chase debut in March 2023 but posted a couple of decent efforts over hurdles in June (albeit a late faller on latter occasion) and reverts to fences with renewed hope. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Narrow winner off 7lb higher over fences at Warwick (2m, soft) last March; has not matched that form since but he returned to hurdling with a second in C&D novice (good) three weeks ago; was allowed to dictate in that race but that was more like it and he's in the mix back in a handicap; one of two runners for yard. |

9yo with six successes to her name; now 7lb below her last winning mark but not seriously threatening to take advantage, fading when fifth of seven at Hexham on latest; needs a revival. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |
10/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Stays at least this far and was in good form over fences for most of last year, but he has a bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made the frame twice in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) but was well beaten at Cartmel three months ago with no obvious excuse; just two wins from 45 attempts over hurdles and he's fully exposed. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has very modest 2-44 strike-rate over hurdles but made the frame on both starts in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) and is suited by this C&D; won't mind what the weather does; probably won't be far away. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1-24 over fences, the win for a different stable at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last May; ran well when second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) in February but was below that form when back at Hexham last month and is not the percentage call here. |

25th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Has a poor strike-rate but his sole win came over C&D (good to soft) last May and, following wind surgery, he returned to form with a close second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) last month; he's one to consider. |

10yo who is inconsistent and hasn't made an impact on her last two starts, but before those she was second at Southwell (2m, good to soft) and is 5lb lower than when second in this last year; not discounted. |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't been in the best of form in three runs this season (well-beaten eighth of nine over 2m at Newcastle last week); 4lb out of the handicap; blinkers replace cheekpieces; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Improved for cheekpieces last season, winning his last two races, both on soft ground at Market Rasen (2m3f/2m1f) in February/March; not hit form so far this season, but on his last winning mark and stable going better now. |
50/1 |
|
8th 10 |
16th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
A longstanding maiden until bagging two soft-ground handicap chases at Market Rasen (extended 2m3f and 2m2f) last February/March; pulled up there six weeks ago when back from eight months off but a return to peak efforts would put him in the mix. |
14/1 |
Verdict
The lightly raced COOLMOYNE is taken to land a first win having been running well in defeat behind some progressive winners. Point runner-up Upagainstit is feared most on his chase debut, ahead of Market Rasen winner Ribeye.[Ben Hutton]
