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. |

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 |

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. |

Hard to win with but he's on a competitive mark if new trainer Nick Scholfield can get him back on track; market helpful. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
His last win was over two years ago but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up and he won't mind what the weather does. |

Returned to form with creditable second at Taunton (2m, good) last month, his third start for David Brace, but was pulled up on recent chasing debut and has become hard to predict. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Well past his prime now but held on gamely to win selling handicap at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in May and went down fighting when clear second at Kelso (2m2f, good) a week ago; big player off same mark if in similar mood here. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Prolific winning veteran (two wins on good ground here); latest success was in a Cartmel seller in May (2m1f, soft); not quite as good since (ran too free last time); wouldn't rule out. |

23rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |

Disappointing maiden who hasn't shown a great deal since joining Micky Hammond in the summer; today's less-testing ground may enable him to better his recent efforts but others appeal more all the same. |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |

12st 0lb |
Scored twice early last term; best effort this season when 1l second off this mark in Class 4 mares' handicap at Warwick (2m, good) in May; likely player dropped in grade. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Two novice wins in May 2022 included one over C&D; badly out of form this year until bouncing back with close second at Warwick in May (2m, good; aids removed) behind a subsequent winner; live claims on that effort. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four hurdle wins, including this race in 2022; well held in C&D selling handicap in May, after a break, but last month's keeping-on second here was much better and he remains on a workable mark. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both wins over fences came over C&D in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's generally struggled in the last 12 months and was last of seven over C&D (good) when last seen in May; plenty to prove and all of his wins have been on soft or heavy ground. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Not in flying form earlier this year but all three career wins have been at Cartmel, the last two over fences; the concern is the conditions as he does enjoy significant cut underfoot. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Won twice off higher marks for Sara Ender in 2021-22 season but, having rejoined this stable, made low-key return from one-year absence last month; entitled to have benefited from that outing but others have less to prove; tongue-tie fitted for first time since 2018. |
