12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won this contest last year off the same mark on the back of another win here, but has pulled up on his last three starts; not in the same form as last year so difficult to enthuse over. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice here last summer (2m1f/2m3f) but went right off the boil in the autumn and was pulled up when reappearing here (2m5f) last month; 11lb out of the weights today; has too much to prove. |

10st 2lb |
Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song. |

10st 9lb |
Good-ground winner off 6lb lower last season and mostly running well this campaign over hurdles and fences; latest run in a handicap chase needs forgiving but couldn't rule out. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Stuck to her task pretty well at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month and has now finished second on two of her last three starts but the forecast rain is probably not helpful here; tongue-tie left off today. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Didn't really fire at Stratford last month and now 0-4 over fences but that run came just one week after a pretty good second there (2m3f, good to firm) and she's had a longer break this time; a possible. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player. |

10st 2lb |
Sole success was at Stratford (2m1f, good) last May and she's been out of sorts in her last seven starts; 5lb out of the weights this time and she has a lot to prove. |

Sole success came here in May last year but she has been out of sorts since; 4lb wrong in the weights and hard to fancy. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Has lost her way badly since her win/place form over fences last summer; cheekpieces tried last time are swiftly removed; couldn't trust. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner who is usually held up; he's not won for ages and Newton Abbot last time was disappointing, but his previous seconds (including here) bring him firmly into the equation. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Quirky veteran who is usually ridden very patiently; without a win since September 2022 and not the force of old but has posted three good efforts since returning from a break in April and is very well suited by this track. |
7/2 |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Lightly raced over last couple of years and no longer the force of old but has made the frame twice on good ground at Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) this spring and is also suited by this C&D; usually ridden very patiently; no surprise if he features. |

11st 3lb |
Dual chase winner, latterly off lowly handicap mark in the autumn, but well beaten on both starts this spring (hurdle/chase) and faces tough task on these terms; hood removed from headgear collection. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Ended last year in good form over fences but was pulled after a break at Hereford in March and it's over a year since he last ran over hurdles (0-12 in this discipline). |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
C&D winner in November and ran well when second at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) 11 days later; looked the likeliest winner before unseating late at Taunton in December and now needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Fontwell on Boxing Day (jumped right); tough mark but remains of interest with Sean Bowen booked. |
