held up in rear, steady headway from 12th, went second 14th, pushed along home turn, ridden and kept on strongly to lead run-in, won going away (trainer could offer no explanation for improved form shown) |

10th Nov 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Consistent type who garnered a third C&D victory in four-runner handicap in May, albeit in fortunate circumstances when left clear two out; he still needs considering though. |

23rd May 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
An 11lb rise was surely a factor in him coming up short over C&D latest (heavy; won under same conditions the time before) but he does have a solid record at this track; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has won two of her last three races, both at Carlisle, over 3m2f in December (soft) and over 2m5f last month (soft); has gone up 9lb (4lb for latest win); should go well again although best efforts on stiff tracks (yet to win in four tries here). |

10th Nov 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Captured this prize in 2021 but seems not so good nowadays and returned with a well-held third of five in 2m4f handicap here last month; others are more persuasive. |

3rd 7 |
6th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
On a dangerous mark and perhaps he'll have been helped by a break, but he was badly out of form earlier this year and returns with plenty to prove. |

14th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner whose sole success under rules came at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in 2021 when 7lb lower; acts here and on soft; form has tailed off of late but would have claims from this mark if reproducing his Wetherby effort from January. |

12st 2lb |
led at steady pace, headed when bad mistake and nearly lost jockey 9th, overjumped 10th, ridden and lost position 14th, weakening when not fluent 3 out, pulled up approaching last |

9th 2 |
6th Feb 2023 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Absent since a poor effort (tailed-off last of three) here in October; subsequently had a second wind surgery; back on last winning mark, so has possibilities if turning up in top form. |

20th Oct 2022 Good 3m 2f 34y Class 3 |

led narrowly, headed but prominent 6th, not fluent 8th, hit 10th, slow jump and lost position 13th, pushed along before 14th, ridden and weakening when blundered 3 out, tailed off |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Tailed-off favourite at Cartmel early last month but that may have come too soon, seven days after she completed a Hexham double (both 2m7f, good; one of them under Paddy Barlow); lightly raced under rules and this soft-ground point winner could have more to offer. |
100/30 |

6th 13 |
2nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Won at Hexham (2m7f, good) on June 3 in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and easily made all there (2m7f, good) last Sunday; won on soft going in a point; a 7lb penalty may not stop her if her fine form continues. |

25th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

didn't always jump with fluency, made all, went clear before last, ridden run-in, comfortably |
