3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but form has slumped badly since and he has shown no sign of a revival in two runs since returning from a break in April. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but his form has nosedived since, beating just one after a lay-off at Sedgefield (2m1f) 13 days ago. |

Scored at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but largely out of sorts subsequently, pulled up in 2m3f Carlisle handicap in November; lots more is needed after a layoff. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

His last two runs have been disappointing but he could bounce back around here where he was twice runner-up over C&D last summer. |

Runner-up twice at Cartmel (2m1f) last summer and made the frame over C&D in November but absent since below-par run on Boxing Day and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Regressive 9yo but ran okay in this new headgear combination last time when rallying into fifth, finishing behind Mojo Ego and Heart Above; that's something to build on; Alan Doyle claimed 5lb that day but can't now. |
8/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Regressive 9yo who is yet to add to his C&D win in June 2022; ran well for a long way when placed at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month but was soundly beaten here a fortnight later; cheekpieces refitted today. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |
10/1 |

5th 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-13 over hurdles but gave good account of herself when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; effectively 2lb lower here and Benjamin Macey claims 5lb; no suprise if she goes well again. |
6/1 |

3rd 8 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has made the frame in handicaps from 2m to 2m5f; probably failed to stay nearly 3m last time and her previous run at Fakenham wasn't too shoddy; 2lb out of the weights but could play some role here. |

3rd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Winless after 26 hurdle starts and although he often runs respectably at the right level, he has no realistic chance against rivals who mostly would be giving him plenty of weight in a handicap. |

0-16 but this 6yo has finished second on two of his last three hurdle starts, most recently at Kelso in September; mid-race unseat on chase debut since; each-way chance back hurdling. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Newcastle last November and when back on the Flat at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March; badly hampered and unseated over hurdles next time; still has mileage in his mark judged on old Flat form; respected. |
5/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Won easily at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November and runner-up to progressive winner at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December; soundly beaten behind Judicial Deference at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) in January but he's probably better than that and he won on the AW last week; not ruled out. |

Better known as a hurdler but was having only his second start on the AW when second of six at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) in September; now 1lb lower and could go well. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice over hurdles in 2022; never showed when last of eight finishers on first outing in 606 days at Perth (2m, good) last month; usual cheekpieces left off here; hard to fancy. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Successful over 2m at Uttoxeter (good) but out of form since, with recent 14.5l third at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) no big step back in the right direction. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Badly out of form since the autumn but has a first-time tongue-tie fitted here and is now now 10lb lower than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer; well worth a glance in the betting. |
20/1 |

6th 6 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Drying conditions will be in his favour but this 7yo has been struggling for a while now on all sorts of surfaces; potentially on a good mark even from out of the handicap but he's a risky proposition at the minute. |

Won twice here in 2025 (2m/2m5f; good/good to soft) but hasn't run up to form on his last three starts, last time over 2m6f; others stronger. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Dual course winner (2m2f/2m5f) in the autumn; not in same form lately and untested over this far but back on a good mark and can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

9th 8 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up in this last year and he won two in a row at Kelso (2m2f/2m5f, good/good to soft) in the autumn; patchy form since but when pulled up at Kelso last time he was contesting the very competitive Morebattle Hurdle; drying ground will aid his cause and it will be no surprise if he runs well. |
