28th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, last win being in a Cartmel handicap chase in August (2m5f, good to soft); well beaten last twice; could go well but better on faster ground than is forecast. |

16th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |

prominent early, raced in third after 1st, outpaced from 4 out, lost third after 3 out, weakened quickly before 2 out |

25th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
10yo who makes his first start since last August but he did well for his new yard last year, winning twice (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft), and he's also effective on soft; the betting may be informative on his return. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who gained four of his 14 wins here (one over C&D); ran much better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest on slower-than-ideal ground at Cartmel (2m1f good to soft) a fortnight ago; worth a second look here, even from 4lb out of the weights. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Veteran who has won 14 races in his career including three over C&D; 13lb below his last winning mark but his efforts since last autumn leave plenty to be desired. |
20/1 |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Veteran with three C&D wins and seven other chase victories on his CV; lurks on a dangerous mark but has been out of form this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and the ground may turn against him today. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Nine-time chase winner including twice at Cartmel; didn't fire at Worcester in May but that was after a close second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) and he's a player if he can recapture that form; not ruled out for yard that won this last year. |
7/2 |
|
7th 4 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Experienced chaser with a good strike rate (9-48 and placed on 20 other occasions); returned from a winter break not far off his best recent form when 1l second at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) last month; up 2lb but should again be thereabouts. |

11th Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 91y |
10st 6lb |
A 10yo who is a 21-race maiden and also beaten in seven points; unlikely to be the answer. |
33/1 |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Maiden after 22 starts; looked likely to win over C&D last month but found little when the chips were down and finished third to Jelski; clearly good enough to win off this mark but doubts will remain until he does it. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
All five wins over fences have been at this track and latest was over C&D (good) in May; didn't shine here last time but that was a Class 2 handicap and he still looks on a workable mark; respected on this big drop back in grade. |
9/2 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
All five wins over fences have been at this track, four over today's distance; at his best when scoring over C&D (good) last month and 4lb rise still gives him a good chance. |

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. |
7/2 |

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. |
