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. |

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 |

Prolific winning pointer who won a maiden hunter chase over C&D last May (good to soft); goes on soft ground; one to consider. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Benefited from a patient ride when wide-margin winner of two-finisher contest at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month and has performed well twice since, more recently when staying-on third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday; will be fine stamina-wise if he makes a quick reappearance. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Useful chaser at his best for Paul Nicholls; in good form this spring for his current yard since undergoing wind surgery, scoring at Sedgefield (3m2f) before finishing a good fourth over 3m6f at Perth when set a lot to do; can go well eased 1lb here. |
5/1 |

4th 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Not as good as he was but has turned a corner following wind surgery and came home clear at Sedgefield (3m2f, good); that race fell apart in behind but he would probably have won anyway; raised 8lb but had become very well handicapped. |

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. |

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. |
