11st 4lb |
Prominent-racer who is unbeaten in three starts for Harry Derham (1m7f-2m1f, good-soft), most recently beating five rivals at Musselburgh in January; today is a much tougher test of his credentials but this 6yo C&D winner is clearly thriving and could continue to improve for his up-and-coming yard. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Exposed mare who was winning her first handicap when a clearcut winner at Bangor (2m, good); effectively off the same mark with William Maggs' claim erasing the 5lb rise and shouldn't be too inconvenienced should it get wet. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Still just a Ludlow novice win on her CV (2m, good); cheekpieces haven't provoked any major improvement but she continues in fair heart, finding only one completing a hat-trick too good for her at Cartmel latest. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Fairly consistent in handicaps since her Ludlow novice win (2m, good) just over a year ago; drops back in trip after perfectly respectable second at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) last month and probably won't be far away. |

11st 13lb |
Sole hurdles win at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; from 8lb higher) in October 2024; consistent this year, without necessarily looking ready to win again; third to better-fancied stablemate Cosmic Soul at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) nine weeks ago. |

11st 12lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
2-3 in bumpers and 5-11 over hurdles after leading late on in the Swinton (good); that was in a first-time tongue-tie that was also on when winning a 2m AW handicap in late May; off just 4lb higher than at Haydock, he's very much in the mix. |

1st 10 (3) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bumper and pretty useful hurdle winner, including at Haydock in the prestigious 2m Swinton 18 days ago when tongue tied for the first time; Flat career of just four races, latest when fourth of eight from the back when joint-favourite on Flat handicap debut at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; has more to offer in this sphere and is one to note. |
7/1 |

1st 9 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
In good form over hurdles last spring, winning at Stratford and Hexham (both 2m, good to soft); he's only 2lb higher than for the second of those wins, and a recent run on the Flat after six months off should have blown away the cobwebs; impossible to discount in first-time tongue-strap. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Had lots of racing over hurdles and without a win since late 2023; comfortably beaten in two runs after a break and has steered clear of fences since trying them once before over two years ago (tailed off). |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Without a win since December 2023 but lost out only by a nose at Worcester (2m4f, good) last summer and returned from break with satisfactory run at Fontwell last month; contender if that recent outing brought him on. |

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 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Continues to slide in the weights, now 10lb below his last winning mark (2m4f, Hexham); Kelso fourth (2m5f; in first-time blinkers) was okay but his latest Hexham effort (2m) was a poor one; plenty to prove, particularly over 3m. |
12/1 |

8th 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Successful over 2m4f here nearly a year ago but has struggled to recapture that form since; shaped with a little more promise when fading into fourth over 2m5f at Kelso last month, but he'll need to build on that and this drop back to 2m may not play to his strengths. |

Useful chaser at best for Donald McCain but last win was almost two years ago and he's struggled in two hurdle runs for new yard this autumn; on reduced mark back over fences but he has something to prove and all of his rules wins have been at shorter trips; cheekpieces added. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
12yo whose seven wins have been registered at either Market Rasen or Carlisle; latest was last April and she's now 9lb lower after a lean spell, but there were major signs of a revival on latest start before she fell (held in second at the final flight); considered but this may not be her track. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time C&D scorer, including in this race 12 months ago; well below par this term, coming in last of 14 over C&D 20 days ago but this veteran mare still can't be totally dismissed from a plummeting mark. |
