29th Jun 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Seen far more often over hurdles; lost his way in that discipline but smooth 2m winner on the Kempton AW in March (first Flat start since 2021) and he's run well on turf since over 1m6f and 1m5f; often wears cheekpieces, which return today after he was hooded instead on penultimate start and had no headgear on latest; others are preferred for the win. |

2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |

Seen far more often over hurdles (winner on varied ground); lost his way in that discipline but smooth 2m winner on the Kempton AW in March (first Flat start since 2021) and close second of six to Hope You Can Run at Newmarket (1m6f) two weeks ago; often wears cheekpieces, but hooded instead on latest start and has no headgear today; may still have more to offer on Flat. |

19th May 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Seen far more often over hurdles (winner on varied ground); has lost his way in that discipline but he was a smooth 2m winner on the Kempton AW in March (first Flat start since 2021) and was not discredited when tenth in the Chester Cup nine days ago; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces; may still have more to offer on Flat. |

Last three wins have come over hurdles, but his last three efforts in that sphere have been moderate; look elsewhere. |

C&D scorer who was tried in cheekpieces when coming in last of 12 over C&D 23 days ago; he needs to bounce back. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Headed close home (Castel Gandolfo third) in this race last year; doesn't arrive in anywhere near the same kind of form this time around after finishing tailed off (beaten 50l) over 2m4f here last month; easing mark isn't enough to make a viable threat. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won small-field C&D event in June and was not beaten far in Summer Hurdle (a race he won in 2024) here in July; needs to up his game after two lesser efforts elsewhere but the return to this track is sure to suit. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Had a win and two placings from three starts here (2m) in his younger days; won four-runner Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) off reduced mark in June and was not disgraced in competitive Summer Hurdle over that C&D in July; form took a dip at Cartmel last time, though, and he's untried at this trip. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Won four-runner Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) off reduced mark in June and was not disgraced in competitive Summer Hurdle over that C&D last month; ran quite well on only previous visit to Cartmel (in 2023); could have a say. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Plenty of good runs to his name since his last win in September 2023 and he raced freely after a break when behind Miss Maverick and Sir Galahad here 22 days ago; better can be expected this time. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Has made the frame several times since his last win in September 2023; returns from a winter break on a career-low mark and not out of this if he is ready to roll. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 3 |

Scores good marks for his consistency for Fergal O'Brien since last autumn but is yet to win for this stable and appears to have very little margin for error off current mark. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Veteran with seven hurdling wins on his CV; returned from layoff with fairly encouraging 2m3f run three weeks ago and may be better suited by this sort of trip nowadays but younger rivals appeal more. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Veteran who held on narrowly to capitalise upon some help from the handicapper here (2m7f, good) last summer, his seventh hurdling success; back down to the same mark now but had gone off the boil again when last seen in the autumn. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Just held on to win off a reduced mark at Bangor (2m7f, good) in September and is only 1lb higher here but he's getting long in the tooth now and wasn't quite in the same form on his last two appearances. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won five times when trained in France; first win in Britain came at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August; has run well when in the frame since but was beaten 30l back over hurdles when last seen in November; may be better for the run. |
12/1 |

Multiple wins in France and won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) with cheekpieces back on (retained since) in August; well held last time when second but continues to give his running; should be thereabouts. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Patchy form over fences for Philip Hobbs last season; dual winner over hurdles in 2021, and quite interesting with hood and tongue-tie tried on first run for new trainer providing rain stays away (non-runner on soft in Too Friendly's race at Market Rasen last time). |
10/1 |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |

Dual hurdle winner in 2021; seemed to be getting his act together over fences when second of four at Taunton (2m, soft) in January but was no match for the winner there and has since performed poorly. |
