19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft); well beaten here last month, after a layoff, and Miss Maverick is unlikely to allow him an uncontested lead today but, nevertheless, his course record can't be ignored. |
20/1 |

9th 3 |
27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft), including the last two editions of this race; absent since poor Flat run in October but there's a good chance he'll be primed to make a bold bid from the front today. |
10/1 |

11th 6 (9) |
2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner (good to soft); returns to this code after a successful spell over hurdles; was below par when seen here (1m6f, good to firm) in June but it would be no surprise to see him closely involved now on slower ground, back up in trip and from 2lb lower. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has several pieces of placed form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard but his losing sequence is mounting up; not the percentage call in this competitive affair. |

2nd 9 (5) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up on stable debut at Musselburgh (2m, good) in July and he's fine on testing ground; however, this 9yo has failed to threaten on his last two outings and needs something extra today. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three Flat races at up to 1m7f when trained in France (including on heavy) and has since won three times over hurdles for Amy Murphy; good second on stable debut at Musselburgh in July (2m, good) but lesser run last time (2m1f, good to soft); each-way chance. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Regressive 9yo but ran okay in this new headgear combination last time when rallying into fifth, finishing behind Mojo Ego and Heart Above; that's something to build on; Alan Doyle claimed 5lb that day but can't now. |
8/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Regressive 9yo who is yet to add to his C&D win in June 2022; ran well for a long way when placed at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month but was soundly beaten here a fortnight later; cheekpieces refitted today. |

9th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner who is on a reduced mark and took a step back in the right direction when 9l fourth of 12 at Cartmel in August; fell at Kelso since; however, this 10yo takes on some unexposed types and his claims aren't compelling. |

Hasn't won since January 2023; now 16lb lower; finished in front of Ashington and Well Educated when fourth in first-time tongue-tie (retained) over 2m1f on soft at Cartmel last time but not sure to confirm the form on today's better ground. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Changed stables earlier in the season and has won twice since, both at Worcester (2m, good); not at the top of his game when fourth at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago but he was ridden more patiently than usual and is better than that; could be a contender. |
7/2 |

4th 5 |
25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Prevailed in three-way photo-finish (that also involved Al Mootamarid) to win over C&D (good) on stable debut in July and added to his tally in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; might be a shade vulnerable after latest 4lb rise but can given another good account. |
11/2 |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Narrowly won a handicap at Worcester on stable debut and only 3l away back there two weeks ago; less to prove than some in here and should have a say. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won this race on good ground under Becky Smith a year ago and defends his crown from a good mark but recent Flat/hurdling form has been underwhelming and conditions are not in his favour today. |
33/1 |

9th 10 (9) |
5th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Better known as a jumper and yet recent efforts in that scene haven't been great, and he was only midfield over C&D last month. |

7th 5 |
29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Beaten 9l and 5l when twice runner-up in May but didn't appear to give his true running when a beaten favourite at Southwell (behind Indian Sunbird); could be given another chance. |
7/1 |

5th 3 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to take second twice last month (2m4f/2m3f, good; tongue-tie added), after a long layoff, and is likely to be suited by this move back up in trip; must be considered. |
4/1 |

2nd 10 |
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. |

11st 12lb |
10yo whose sixth win came in seven-runner race at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) three weeks ago under Rebecca Hitchen; back up 4lb, almost to a career-high mark, but she has to be considered seriously in such a small field. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut. |
