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 |
11st 13lb |
prominent early, raced in third after 1st, outpaced from 4 out, lost third after 3 out, weakened quickly before 2 out |
8/1 |

5th 5 |
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. |
16/1 |

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. |

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. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Gained five of his nine chase wins at this track (2m/2m3f) but absent since below-par run in October and still on a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Multiple winner but went up 6lb for beating four rivals at Fontwell (2m3f, good) and was only fourth off this mark next time, though merely 2l behind the winner; could be vulnerable again. |

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 |

4th 5 |
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. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner who returned from break with two low-key runs in February/March; usually knocks about in lower-grade races than this but returns to this track on a workable mark (even from 3lb out of the weights) and is versatile regarding ground. |
6/1 |
|
4th 9 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Has done all of his winning at Cartmel and Catterick; made the frame in this race 12 months ago but was beaten long way over C&D on return from layoff last time. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m5f, soft) last June and runner-up at Perth (3m, good) in September; below par at Hexham in October when last seen but a break may have helped and he can go well fresh; could be a contender on his return. |

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. |
