13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Happiest hunting ground is Cartmel, but a record of 225244P around today's C&D includes a neck second in this race in 2024 off 5lb lower, with Well Educated 23l behind; miles off his best in one start apiece at each of these venues so far this term, however. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up on soft ground this month, after a layoff, but this three-time course winner is now only 1lb higher than when holding on for narrow C&D (good) success last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Six hurdle wins, latest over 3m1f at Cartmel last August (good); high enough in the ratings at present, lacks a recent run and perhaps best watched this time. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who battled gamely to make winning handicap debut a Perth (2m4f, good) in May and lost out only narrowly when clear second over C&D (good to soft) in June; untested on soft ground but still shortlisted. |
5/1 |

Very lightly raced 8yo who battled on gamely to make winning handicap debut a Perth (2m4f, good) last month; could easily have more to offer if suited by the forecast slower ground; respected. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over hurdles since last seen on the Flat, going almost two stone up the weights; withdrawn on account of unsuitable (good to firm) ground last summer, which would be a concern, but she's much better treated on the Flat now. |
2/1 |
|
4th 2 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
5-14 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Taunton (3m, good; wore cheekpieces) last month; posted another career-best performance when finishing well from the rear for close third in valuable Haydock handicap (3m, good; first-time visor) 16 days ago and commands respect here. |
5/1 |

3rd 11 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
First four hurdle wins came in the month of May, before he took a four-runner race at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher in today's much more competitive affair but that was his first attempt over this far and he might have more to offer as a stayer; first visor replaces cheekpieces. |

12st 0lb |
Won here over C&D in July 2024 and over fences in July 2025 (his only wins in those years); the second of his two races this May (both under Leah Noreci) suggests he could be building up to a good run; first-time visor replaces his usual cheekpieces; stable runs three. |

5th 1 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has plenty of form around here over hurdles and fences, and very nearly won this race 12 months ago off 1lb higher (under Charlotte Jones); ran surprisingly well when 125-1 for a Class 2 at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
10/1 |

10th 12 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Hurdles form (handicap winner over 2m4f-3m1f) does not look quite good enough in this higher grade and the form of his winning chase debut at Cartmel last July has been followed by heavy defeats in both starts since (ridden by this 10lb claimer on latest); others preferred. |

Won four on the bounce here last summer (2m6f-3m1f; soft/good) but has looked a little out of sorts this season, for all that he shaped a bit better last time after further wind surgery. |

5th 11 |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft); lurks on a good mark but looked out of sorts here on both appearances this season and needs recent wind op to have made a difference; tongue-tie refitted. |
16/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft), including this race a year ago; needs to rebound from a disappointing run here (3m1f) last month but is back on a workable mark and can't be ruled out. |

Runner-up three consecutive times at Hexham (2m-2m4f, good) this spring and also suited by this track but his latest run was below par and he's 2lb wrong today. |

4th 5 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |

2nd 8 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

A head away from securing a fifth course win here last Saturday (2m); can number two C&D successes among that haul and respected again, for all that his record in the past three editions of this race reads 655. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |

9yo whose losing sequence goes all the way back to September 2022 but he returned to form when second over C&D (soft) last month and is also fine on good ground; a tongue-tie is added; possible player. |
9/2 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner who was useful on good ground in his prime; launched chasing career with two very respectable runs here (2m1f/2m5f) in May and was not disgraced in competitive 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Saturday (albeit finishing behind Sea The Clouds); could have a say. |

3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |

Yard also runs Rauzan but this one has three C&D wins from six visits here; latest win was last month and he went close under 7lb penalty over 3m1f here two days later; those were his only two runs since latest wind surgery; raised another 4lb today but he has to be on the shortlist. |
