20th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time chase winner, most recently at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) last November; made an encouraging return over C&D this month when a 5.5l fourth behind Stay Hopeful despite briefly not getting the best of passages; weighted to reverse the placings with that rival and another bold showing looks likely. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) last November and ended last season with three good runs there (3m, good to soft/good); resumes on a good mark but has fitness to prove and this veteran might be of greater interest when back at Carlisle and on ground slower than good. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Long in the tooth now but won here (3m2f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) in the autumn and was placed over C&D (good to soft) on last two appearances, more recently when keeping on to snatch modest second in higher-grade company; ought to make his presence felt again. |

11st 4lb |
Dual chase winner in France in spring 2024 but 0-6 and generally disappointing for three different stables in Britain; well beaten in 3m2f chase on last month's debut for Debra Hamer; looks too risky in this 2m hurdle. |

11st 5lb |
Scored off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) in June but all three subsequent runs were disappointing and he now has questions to answer again; new headgear tried. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Exploited some help from the handicapper when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) this month and is still on a workable mark after going back up 5lb but needs to rebound quickly from disappointing run on Saturday. |

20th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Hasn't won for over two years but has produced some respectable efforts alongside a few modest ones; C&D winner but often looks reluctant these days, so difficult to recommend with any confidence. |
14/1 |

5th 4 |
2nd Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ran a big race from the front when close fourth at Cartmel (3m1f, good) in July and is also suited by this C&D, but he has often looked unenthusiastic over the last couple of years and it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood today. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner (including this race in 2024); good third to Halfway House over C&D in May, after a break, but pulled up after looking reluctant (not for the first time) at Hexham last month and comes with risk. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
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 |
11st 5lb |
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. |

Has run well at this track and is very well handicapped on old form but pulled up on all three starts since returning in December from a mammoth absence and needs to prove some ability remains; blinkers refitted. |

9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Pulled up in his two starts (heavy/soft; visored both times) since an absence of just over two years; old form suggests this better ground will suit but it still requires a leap of faith to support him in the added tongue-tie. |
