11st 6lb |
Late-blooming veteran who is best known as a Cartmel specialist; drew clear to win by 3m5f there (good ground) last spring but signed off in the autumn with two disappointing runs and remains on a fairly tough mark. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
No longer the force of old and very inconsistent nowadays but battled well for narrow C&D (soft) win over Judicial Review last month, his fifth course success; also suited by good ground and recent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Four course wins, the latest over C&D in summer 2023; very much on the downgrade now, though, and never really looked dangerous when plugging on for modest third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went down narrowly after a good tussle with stablemate Lights Are Green at Cartmel (3m1f, good) last month; softer ground, and a swift turnaround valid excuses for a lesser effort next time; 1-1 at Perth with weights rise effectively offset through Ed Austin's 5lb claim. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up three consecutive times in October-June but, with cheekpieces refitted, revived with game effort in defeat over 3m1f here on Saturday; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood today but he can cope with the drop back in trip and remains well handicapped on old form. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has won ten of his 30 chases, four of them last year; hasn't been in quite such good form this term, last time finishing 8l fourth of six at Cartmel (3m1f, good), but he's on a good mark now. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Admirable strike-rate of 10-29 over fences; won this 12 months ago off 1lb higher and had only five starts in the meantime, the latest respectable in a higher grade behind stablemate Stratagem; chance. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
10-28 over fences, including three 3m1f course wins; below form at Ffos Las this month, after a break, but is back on a good mark and this marathon trip will suit; must be considered. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Not the easiest to win with (has won three times but second on 12 occasions); good run when second to an in-form horse at Hexham last time; each-way chance. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Winner here in the past, and obviously weighted to strike again off his new career-low mark; just 3-38 over fences, however, and recent return after 14 months off (stable debut) wasn't majorly encouraging. |
33/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Back on the lowly mark off which he snapped a long losing run in December 2024 at Carlisle (3m2f, soft); remains to be seen what ability remains on this stable debut following 14 months out. |

Winning pointer; best run over fences when close third at Perth two runs back (3m, good); this is a belated first run over hurdles but clearly on a fair mark and his new trainer is doing well; interesting. |

Verdict
Gary Hanmer’s 10yo DEE STAR (nap) might normally be a shade vulnerable off a mark this high but he’ll be very well suited by a slog in the mud around here and, with Conor Rabbitt claiming a valuable 5lb, he gets the nod. Breaking The Ice ran quite well over C&D last month, after a break, and is second choice, while it will be interesting to see whether Jelski and Croagh Patrick lock horns again after their 1-2 over 2m5f here on Saturday.[Chris Wilson]
