11st 2lb |
Course record of 3-8 includes the odd flop, but also two C&D successes, the latest off 1lb lower last August; hasn't offered anything elsewhere since, and much depends on this place inspiring him again. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins at Cartmel last summer (3m1f/2m5f, good to soft/good); however, pulled up/well beaten at Ayr and Catterick on his last two starts and a big turnaround is necessary today. |

Hit some form at Cartmel in the summer, winning over 3m1f and 2m5f; up 8lb for the last success, which will make things much tougher, especially away from his local course. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over C&D on good ground last season, including in this race, his mark going up 14lb as a result; won over 1m7f off his new mark here last time; up another 4lb but should again be competitive. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won three in a row over 3m here last spring (good/good to soft); returned from an absence with encouraging sixth over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) recently; however, he may well find today's trip inadequate. |
10/1 |

6th 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In excellent form over fences last spring, winning three times at Hexham (3m, good/good to soft); can cope with drop back in trip for this first hurdling start since 2022 but has fitness to prove after 294-day layoff. |

Had a break since latest 21l defeat at Cartmel, which was only three days after finishing a close third there; this mark is manageable but Cartmel suits and his record here isn't great. |

Returned from long absence with two heavy defeats for new stable this summer but last month's fourth at Cartmel (2m5f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) was more encouraging; she needs to build on that performance here but has the services of Brian Hughes again. |

11st 6lb |
No longer the force of old and very inconsistent nowadays but battled well for narrow C&D (soft) win over Judicial Review last month, his fifth course success; also suited by good ground and recent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again. |
7/2 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Four course wins, the latest over C&D in summer 2023; very much on the downgrade now, though, and never really looked dangerous when plugging on for modest third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won three times over 3m2f here (always on good ground) during productive campaign last season; needs career-best performance to overcome this rise in grade but returns here after respectable fourth over today's trip at Cartmel (good) last month. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ended last season with two hard-fought wins at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when well-held fourth at Bangor (3m, good) in June but current mark demands a career-best performance and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Thriving over Sedgefield's extended 3m2f latterly, needing every yard of it last time (good) in order to complete a double; new career-high mark asks a question, and the return to 3m isn't certain to suit. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who has been pulled up the last twice but he ran well for a fair way over hurdles last time following a break, over a 3m trip that probably stretches him; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Cartmel last June and he's not written off. |

21st Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |

It's now 13 starts since his last success and he was tried in blinkers when pulled up in 2m5f Cartmel handicap chase in August; others appeal more. |
