29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 4lb |
Very useful handicapper in his prime; nearly 16l behind eased-down winner Gaboriot when fifth at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in March but that run came after a mammoth absence, and he kept on well to win run-of-the-mill contest at Hexham (3m, heavy) last month; today's forecast faster ground will also suit, and he won on his only previous visit to Cartmel; shortlisted. |

14yo; won this by a short head last year and went close at Hexham (3m, heavy) in April after some time off; faced tough task when well-beaten third of four at Kelso (2m7f, good) last Wednesday and he's a leading contender in this easier race. |

26th May 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Prolific winning pointer; off the mark under rules at Hexham in May last year (3m, good to soft); patchy form since though and well beaten at Hexham last time. |

22nd Apr 2024 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Prolific winning pointer who won a maiden hunter chase over C&D last May (good to soft); goes on soft ground; one to consider. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful in his prime and enjoying a revival this year, with the latter of two wins gained here (3m5f, good) in May; last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable and he ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

3rd 3 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has looked in good nick since returning from wind surgery; however, he was close up behind Caughtinyourtrance here last month and he's 8lb higher now after winning a Class 3 handicap over 3m5f here two days later by 7.5l (Fairlawn Flyer third); he's still a major player with James Murray, aboard last time, again up top. |

12st 0lb |
Five-time course winner in 2021/2022, including three good-quality handicaps over today's trip, but has badly lost his way over the last couple of years; getting back on decent ground will aid his cause but hopes of a revival are beginning to fade. |

10st 3lb |
Point winner but he's 0-37 under rules and has form figures of PP47P over regulation fences; 3lb out of the weights here and can only be watched. |
