18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner who bounced back with a close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 11 days ago; 3lb higher here but he remains well treated on old form and all of his wins have been under Brian Hughes; key player. |
2/1 |

2nd 10 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Five wins include four over fences; ran well but no match for Most Wanted at Fakenham in May on his return from a break; chance on that form even from 2lb out of the weights, and 2m3f looked too far last time. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All five wins have been over 2m-2m1f, two of which came at this track in 2022; made a pleasing return after a five-month break when runner-up at Fakenham (2m, good) last month but may be vulnerable to younger rivals here. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Mixes chasing with hurdling and he's stuck on a losing run; last three efforts thoroughly underwhelming. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |
9/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Strong traveller whose four chase wins, including at Hexham latest (2m, good), have all been gained coming late from rear; back above a winning mark but only just, and good chance this will be run to suit. |

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. |
20/1 |
