11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Carlisle specialist; sits close to a career-high mark following a gritty win there (2m, good to soft) in February; "never travelling and jumped poorly" in the Monet's Garden Series Final there three weeks ago; bit to prove for the time being, even acknowledging a 2024 C&D win. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 6-10 over fences at Carlisle features wins in this race last year (on good ground) and latest outing (2m); on a career-high mark but commands major respect kept to this venue. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won here (2m4f, good) in October and followed up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); below par at Newcastle and Wetherby since and arrives with something to prove, but he's back on his last winning mark and ten visits to Carlisle have yielded five wins (various ground); not ruled out now back here. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up three times in a row in February-April, including in a quite valuable series final at Carlisle (2m4f, good) and when losing out only narrowly to Half Shot at Kelso (2m7f, good); subsequent 22l defeat over C&D came in a stronger race than this; one to consider. |
9/1 |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
After dropping down the weights he's run really well to finish second on his last three starts (2m4f/2m7f, good/good to soft); edging back up the handicap but every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner who returned from break with two low-key runs in February/March; usually knocks about in lower-grade races than this but returns to this track on a workable mark (even from 3lb out of the weights) and is versatile regarding ground. |
6/1 |

4th 9 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Has done all of his winning at Cartmel and Catterick; made the frame in this race 12 months ago but was beaten long way over C&D on return from layoff last time. |
25/1 |

7th 3 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m5f, soft) last June and runner-up at Perth (3m, good) in September; below par at Hexham in October when last seen but a break may have helped and he can go well fresh; could be a contender on his return. |

11st 8lb |
Regressive 10yo who has not won since April 2023; has conditions to suit here and some of his spring/summer form puts him on the premises but he was pulled up last time (bled) and others have more appealing profiles. |

Last three wins have been in 2m4f handicap chases at Ayr, although won a 2m Ayr novice handicap over hurdles in March 2023 (good); hasn't been in top form over fences on last three starts and probably best watched this time. |

Three chase wins at Ayr (2m4f on soft/good to soft) last winter but below best there in March and at Carlisle since; Callum Pritchard takes off a helpful 5lb but adding cheekpieces acknowledges something needs to change. |

Has won four chases, latest at Kelso in April (2m7f, good); mixed form since, including fair third back at Kelso last time (3m2f, good); a possible, though perhaps better at further these days. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
11yo who is without a win since 2022 and has fallen on two of his last three starts, but it was a stumble rather than a bad jump that was to blame last month; he was going well in front at that stage (six out) and with a clear round it will be no surprise if he can exploit a handy mark. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Without a win since 2022 but was in process of running well before penultimate-fence fall at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) two starts ago and had excuse when tailed off there last month (suffered overreach); blinkers tried today. |

Made all at Perth (2m4f, good) in September and runner-up over this C&D (good to soft) on two of his three starts since; this 7yo can produce another bold show. |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |

Made all at Perth (2m4f, good) in September before close second of 15 over this C&D (good to soft) in October; well-beaten fourth at Musselburgh last time but faced tough task from out of the handicap in that Class 2; could make a bold bid now back down in grade off his proper mark. |

In-form front-runner who got mugged late on at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); however, this is competitive and he's 8lb out of the handicap. |
