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. |

Veteran mare who has won seven races, three of them over C&D, but hasn't been in the best of form this season and others appeal more. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up on latest hurdling start in February but the form of his Market Rasen second (2m, good to soft) a fortnight earlier worked out well, and he was placed twice on the Flat last month; a possible. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Mostly in good form since the blinkers went on last autumn and ran a solid race in defeat at Catterick last time (2m, good); the reopposing runner-up Cosmic Soul nearly went one better last weekend. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Better for blinkers going on last autumn, handling soft ground well when closing out with an easy win off 8lb lower here over 1m6f; absent since pulled up over hurdles in February and has to prove his new mark within range. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
6yo who has been steadily progressive this season, winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) and Southwell (2m, good to soft) and posting a good third at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last time; solid contender. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive 6yo who won cosily at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 2-4 in handicaps; 10lb higher here and not yet proven on ground slower than good to soft but still makes significant appeal. |
4/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Unexposed 5yo who displayed significant improvement when clear third on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in February; not seen again since but open to further progress this season. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Seems to reserve his best for Uttoxeter and he gained his fourth course success over this trip in May (good ground; handles heavy); however, he was disappointing here just before Christmas and needs a revival. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Five hurdle wins, the latest a hard-fought success at favourite track Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May; didn't run badly last month, after a break, but is not one to rely upon heavily. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Irish point winner; dropped from about 2m4f to 2m for his two handicaps but was pretty disappointing, favourite when tried in cheekpieces last time; now has his tongue tied as well and moves back up in trip. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Irish point winner, failed to improve for the drop to 2m on handicap debut most recently; chance partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

Returning from three months off when a close third at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) but offered a lot less at Market Rasen; hard to win with at the best of times. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won twice in the space of three starts last year but has soon returned to the doldrums; can't be supported with any confidence. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Needed considerable help from the handicapper before winning twice last year and has looked badly out of sorts on both appearances this year; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; can't be supported with any confidence. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Disappointing on last two starts but he won twice in the second half of last year (2m, good to soft/good) and the fact his stable is enjoying a very productive month suggests he is well worth a second look. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran who returned from 640-day absence with a down-the-field run in February and has been absent for another seven months since; very well handicapped on old form and will be favoured by the forecast rain but is tricky to weigh up at present. |

Got wiped out by the loose Snow Dragon at the second flight at Wetherby; didn't jump that well next time at Bangor (good to soft) but worked his way into contention and wasn't beaten far; obvious chance. |
