9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in the Becher here in December and his two subsequent hunter chase runs have yielded an early fall and disappointing defeat; twice placed over these fences, however, most recently in the Grand Sefton over C&D in November, and could have an each-way shout if back on song in change of headgear. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Pulled up in the Becher Chase at Aintree in December but finished a very good second in the Grand Sefton (2m5f, good to soft) the previous month; returned to hunter chasing with quite a spill at Catterick a fortnight ago but holds leading claims if that hasn't left a mark. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Pulled up in the Becher Chase at Aintree last time but had previously finished a very good second in the Grand Sefton (2m5f, good to soft); did well hunter chasing back in 2024 and the one to beat. |

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. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-10 over fences; ran well for a long way when third in C&D hunter chase (soft; first-time visor) last month and should be okay on today's faster ground but probably needs a better performance in this handicap. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 |
29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in heavy-ground marathon at Bangor in February and now 0-9 as a handicap chaser but his fifth at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) two starts ago was respectable; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor and has the services of James King for hunter chase debut; could be dangerous at this level. |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
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. |

Proved a reliable sort without winning over hurdles and fences last summer before landing a point last month; this course winner is one for the shortlist. |

14th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winner in May the past two years, including a weak Huntingdon hunter chase in 2024 (good to soft); recent return at Charm Park may therefore have been needed, though didn't show sufficient to interest here even so. |
10/1 |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Has some useful French/British form on his CV but struggled in Ireland last season; won three-runner hunter chase for latest new stable at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last week but recorded a very slow time, and the value of that form is open to question. |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Smart chaser for Brian Ellison and second in two hunter chases for new yard in recent months; no match for Gaboriot at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in March, though, and has been very inconsistent in recent years. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
8th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Smart chaser at his best and he still retains quite a bit of ability; has mixed record this year and was pulled up in Foxhunters' at Aintree last time but he's been in much calmer waters now and was runner-up at Catterick (3m1f, soft) on his penultimate run; dangerous if in the mood. |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful in his prime but last season's low-grade handicap form for Ben Haslam was uninspiring; made good start for new connections this month, winning Hexham conditions point (soft) by 9l, but this race is much tougher. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Twice a chase winner over 2m4f, including on heavy; a shadow of his former self these days and plummeting in the handicap; however, would be interesting if the market speaks in his favour. |
12/1 |

6th 3 |
18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Very useful in his prime but has badly lost his way; long absence before his two runs (25-1) this winter; way down the weights and cheekpieces (last worn in March 2022) return, which may well be a positive; worth a check for strength in the betting. |

12st 0lb |
Won four low-grade handicap hurdles in 2022 (2m7f-3m, all on good ground) but, following a long absence, was safely held when third in two minor points this month (latterly in Hexham race won by Canelo). |

17th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Maintained his good record under Brian Hughes when going away at the finish over 3m at Perth (good) when last seen in September; up another 4lb and his improvement has come on good ground, so drying conditions welcomed. |
