23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
11yo who was tailed off at Cheltenham in December and pulled up at Haydock this month on sole run since; arrives with something to prove but three visits to Perth have yielded two wins, including this race in 2023, so he's worth a second look; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Inconsistent last year but won twice (3m/2m4f, good/soft), those victories coming on the back of respective breaks of 89 and 120 days; may be best caught fresh nowadays so is worth a second look after 113 days off. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Back in rude health over C&D (good) in May, easily beating Saint Arvans to win by 20l, and his subsequent Market Rasen fourth (2m5f, good) was also a good effort; still well handicapped on old form; shortlisted. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and Cartmel (2m5f, good) in June and he's been a good third on his last two starts (2m5f/3m, good); he should be fine at today's shorter distance and holds solid claims. |

3rd 7 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Generally in good form this summer, winning at Cartmel in June (2m5f, good) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time and last time coming home third in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m6f, good to soft); has also finished second over C&D; should go well again. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Back in prime form since swapping cheekpieces for a visor in June, winning here (2m5f, good) before commendable third in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (nearly 2m7f, good); unraced beyond 3m but soft ground won't faze him and he can make a bold bid from the front. |

11st 8lb |
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. |

Captured this prize a year ago and in good form until ridden aggressively when tenth in 2m5f Cartmel handicap chase 23 days ago; it would come as no surprise to see him play a major role here. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 146y |

3m winner at Perth in July; respectable in defeat the last twice without looking ahead of her mark; each-way claims. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
Won a 3m event at Perth in July; unseated four out at Wexford, moderate run at the same venue on next start; better at Kilbeggan last time, took third after a mistake at the last; staying type who has won over 3m2f. |
8/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 180y |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ran a laboured race behind Sir Carnegie here only recently, in a handicap he had won twice before; not easily recommended on the back of that. |
16/1 |

4th 2 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Four-time C&D winner, including two editions of this race; back in good nick when second here (2m4f, good; wore cheekpieces) in July and had excuse (finished lame) when pulled up over C&D soon afterwards; big player off this mark if all goes to plan. |
6/1 |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Four-time C&D winner; returned from break with two low-key runs this spring (hurdle/chase) but may have been aided by refitted cheekpieces when running big race in defeat here (2m4f, good) ten days ago; up in grade today but still on a good mark and this return to 3m is sure to suit. |

Beaten 20l when second two starts back and then behind Wasdell Dundalk over C&D two months ago; an 11yo now and powers are on the wane. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Getting long in the tooth now and was not at his best on any of three outings in the spring, most recently when remote second behind Whistleinthedark over C&D; on a very good mark now, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces today. |
7/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Good-ground performer; last win was over C&D in June 2023 (good); some fair efforts since; back on a decent mark; needs to improve on recent efforts. |
