3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Second veteran runner for northern yard; winner over 3m1f here but that was in 2020; lightly raced and poor form in recent years; they say Darragh O'Keeffe is game enough to ride anything, and here's the proof. |
50/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who has been lightly raced and out of form in recent years; returned from latest layoff with low-key hurdle run in April; considered only if lively in the betting before this return to chasing. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Six wins split between hurdling and chasing but last success was in 2020 and this veteran was out of sorts in only two runs last year; has lots to prove back over hurdles after 304 days off. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won over fences in Ireland in 2022 but has looked badly out of sorts on all five starts for current stable since December 2023; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers here; needs to prove some ability remains. |

Very lightly raced for his age but was badly out of form for this stable when last seen in 2023-24 season and returns from 426-day absence with a lot to prove. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Didn't fire in 3m1f race won by Judicial Review here last month and is not one to rely upon but ran big race when third to Defence Witness over C&D (good to soft) in May and has obvious claims if judged on that form. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three wins over fences and ran well when beaten just over a length into third of seven behind Defence Witness here (2m5f, good to soft) last time; 2lb better off and has won off 1lb higher, but has been pulled up in all three previous attempts beyond 2m5f; stable also runs Unwanted Attention. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 |
24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Kept on well to collar an idling Beat The Edge and score at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in February but it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution, and he managed only fifth when back at Sedgefied (2m5f, good) the following month. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Perhaps in the grip of the assessor since the last of his four wins this term; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim may offer some help but this assignment looks difficult. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made very good progress in second half of last year, with the last two of his four wins gained over C&D (soft; also suited by good); returned from ten-week break with very respectable effort in 0-130 grade at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and might still be on the upgrade. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in all five chases, the first two over C&D in May (good to soft/good); bumped into an improver when clear second at Perth (3m, good) in August and will be a tough nut to crack here if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Bang there in all four races since switched to fences and he was running on last time at Cartmel (2m5f); this trip is well worth exploring. |

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. |

10st 6lb |
0-18 under rules but he was an easy winner of an Irish point in May; well held back over regulation fences at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month but he took a strong hold and ran well to a point in that race; could benefit from this drop back in trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if he was in the mix. |
2/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

Has struggled under rules in Ireland; hard to know what to make of facile win in Irish point (3m, good) last month after ten-month absence; market will be best guide on stable debut. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Shaped with promise before penultimate-fence fall at Tipperary (2m3f, yielding) at start of this month, his second start over fences, but was tailed off over 3m1f here on Saturday; others have more pressing claims. |

Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) but absent since below-par hurdle run in February and returns with rules strike-rate standing at 0-21. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f) and has slipped to a dangerous mark but looked out of sorts on both starts here last month (2m5f/3m1f) and now has questions to answer. |
10/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Three of his four wins have been here, including in this race off 4lb lower last season; fair run when sixth here in May; disappointing when tailed off here on Friday (2m5f, good) but he twice bounced back last summer after two-day breaks. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Record of 1-20 over fences and was disappointing last time, but he was placed three times in a row here (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft) in the spring; had wind surgery since his last run and could be dangerous back at this track on his return; cheekpieces reapplied. |
14/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has modest 1-19 strike-rate over fences and fell here when last in action but was placed three consecutive times off today's mark at Hexham (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft) in the spring; considered each-way. |
