25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice here in 2023; respectable efforts this year but not as good as he was; 10lb out of the weights. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual course winner in 2023; kept on for fourth over C&D (good to soft; also suited by soft/heavy) in May and subsequent Hexham second was also very respectable but he's no longer the force of old. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
C&D winner in 2023; well below best form over the last year or so but at least took a step back in right direction when keeping-on fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) ten days ago. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins on soft/heavy over 3m at Ayr last January; some fair efforts since; return to this trip should suit but best form on softer ground. |
9/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Course specialist who won two in a row over C&D (heavy/soft) in January; he's better than he showed when 15l third over C&D (soft) in February and the subsequent break may have helped, but this 10yo may still be vulnerable back up in grade. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over hurdles (2m4f/3m) but he's 0-5 on the Flat; plugged on for a modest fourth in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) 22 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this return to handicap company. |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A dual winner over hurdles in 2023 (2m4f/3m); struggled over hurdles/Flat since returning from a lengthy absence; beaten 13l when seventh of nine at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in July and now drops back in trip. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Veteran who has gained four of his ten hurdle wins at this track and often builds up a big lead; needs to rebound from a disappointing effort here (2m4f) ten days ago but was in a consistent vein of form beforehand and is still on a workable mark. |
7/1 |

8th 9 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Tough veteran who has won 11 races, four of them here (2m/2m4f); has been running well recently, second over 2m at Hexham last time (good); player. |

20th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and he didn't run badly when fifth of eight at Kelso (2m6f, soft) last month; one to watch in the betting but this 11yo needs to raise his game to return to winning ways. |
16/1 |

16th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won a Cartmel handicap (2m6f, good; wore cheekpieces) off this mark last July; in with a chance when taking a heavy fall two out here (3m2f, good) in September but he's not fired in his last two runs; has something to prove again and he's ideally suited by quicker ground. |
