24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Seemed to run well when second of three in tactical race at Cartmel (3m1f, good) on Monday and remains 2lb lower than when winning for another stable in January but others appeal more all the same. |

2nd 5 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Former pointer/hunter chaser who won a Sedgefield handicap (3m2f, good to soft) off 2lb higher for Ruth Jefferson in January; not quite in same form on first four starts for new stable and fell on latest outing a week ago but it's difficult to put a line through him. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Encouraging first two efforts for this stable before a lesser run prompted wind surgery; got back on track to some extent at Bangor (3m, good) last month and, while more is needed, he's likely to have a say. |

Five-time point winner, latest at Overton last month (3m, good); creditable second in maiden hunter chase over C&D last April only previous rules run; interesting. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice in points, the latest in a Mixed Open at Overton (3m, good; 3-1) in March; tailed off in the Buccleuch Cup at Kelso (3m, good; 9-1) recently, so tough to envisage him turning the tables on runner-up Phantoms Cave; cheekpieces fitted. |

Third in this race last year, his only start under rules, and returns here after winning an open point at Overton (3m, good) last month; shortlisted. |

Pulled up behind Whatudoing three runs back but he's only a 6yo and has raised his game since then; had Deerstalker back in fourth when winning a recent point. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual point winner; gave good account when fourth (just behind Theoldboggroad) in this race a year ago but has not been at his best in points this season and needs help from the new cheekpieces. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

Ran poorly in this race a year ago but led close home to win soft-ground point at Friars Haugh in February and returned to racing under rules with very respectable fourth in Buccleuch Cup at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month. |

12st 0lb |
Won a maiden point in February last year (3m, soft) and then showed fair form in a couple of hunter chases; creditable third in a restricted point last month (3m, good to soft); improvement needed. |

Well behind Slaney Opera when that one fell at Alnwick in February but he pushed the same horse close last month and now goes in cheekpieces; should be competitive. |

11st 12lb |
Last of four (beaten 26l) in this last year; arrives in better form this year, with back-to-back point wins at Overton (3m); however, there wasn't much depth to his latest win, with his main market rival departing at the first fence. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Fair hurdler/chaser when with Ben Pauling and a good-ground point winner for new connections this year; unseated rider at sixth fence on last month's hunter chase debut but was clear second in open point at Witton Castle (good to firm) nine days ago and has a fighting chance in this. |
