25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up on soft ground this month, after a layoff, but this three-time course winner is now only 1lb higher than when holding on for narrow C&D (good) success last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Six hurdle wins, latest over 3m1f at Cartmel last August (good); high enough in the ratings at present, lacks a recent run and perhaps best watched this time. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive 8yo who has collected two good prizes at Cartmel (2m6f/3m1f, good) since tongue-tie was refitted in July; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive but this more conventional track may not suit quite so well. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |
3/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Sole win came in the summer of 2023, over 2m4f on good ground; chasing never went to plan two seasons ago but he ran well back over hurdles on final sighting in late 2024; what form he'll be in after an absence is anyone's guess, so best to let the betting guide; tongue-tie added. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
5-30 over fences, his latest win coming off 1lb lower here (2m5f, soft) last July; still has to prove his stamina, but he ran well for a long way on his stable debut/return from 253 days off at Hexham (3m, good to soft) 15 days ago; could go well. |

Won four times as a novice during 2021-22 season but has been out of form over the last 18 months or so and needs a significant boost from the first-time blinkers today. |

14th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Rather disappointing since two wins in early 2022 (both over 2m on good to soft); very well handicapped (19lb lower than last success) so quite interesting back from a break on second run after wind surgery. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enhanced his good record here when inheriting first place over 3m5f in May (same mark) and the drop back to 2m5f found him out when fourth to Charlie Uberalles two months ago; this race is a better fit; third 12 months ago on heavy ground. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |

Three-time course winner, most recently when awarded 3m5f veterans' chase here (good to soft; second past the post) last month; versatile regarding ground but would appeal more over further than 2m5f. |

22nd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Dual Flat (at up to 1m6f) and dual hurdles winner (at up to 2m1f) when trained in Ireland; well beaten in all nine starts for this trainer and plummeting in the handicap; new headgear now tried (has won in blinkers); watching brief advised unless market vibes strong. |

His mark continues to tumble and he's worth a market check, but he was pulled up in summer 2022 on his final three runs for Joseph O'Brien and his struggles have continued for this yard. |

Won at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in December 2023 and runner-up there the next twice (2m3f, soft/heavy); well treated on that form but well below his best on his three starts since; revival needed now up in trip. |

On a lengthy losing run and he's offered little in two runs for his current handler, tenth in 2m4f Perth handicap 30 days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |
