21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |
16/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Gained last three wins over C&D but they were on good ground; failed to beat a rival on heavy going here (race won by El Gavilan) last time; forecast conditions look unfavourable. |
16/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front over C&D (good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; slightly disappointing when well-held fourth in recent selling handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but still enters calculations. |
3/1 |

4th 3 |
29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; well held when second in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) this month but the winner has performed well in much stronger company since; probably won't be far away. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

He has competitive form here but not last month when tailed off in a selling handicap; that was after 167 days away but he had to show more. |

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

Absent since December but that was a good run at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) and he has competitive form here on good ground; one to consider. |

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

Mixes chasing with hurdling and he's stuck on a losing run; last three efforts thoroughly underwhelming. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |
9/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
C&D winner off 6lb lower at this meeting last season when with Adam Nicol (good); has since won at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) but has a bit to find with Betteryouthanme on recent Hexham form. |
16/1 |

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

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over C&D in June (good to soft) and runner-up to Rory's Story in his only subsequent chase start; however, he was very disappointing over hurdles here on Saturday. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest chase win on this track (2m1f, good to soft; several wins on good) in June; creditable hurdle run the time before but below best in this sphere subsequently, including over C&D latest; needs revival. |
8/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest 2-34 career strike-rate and needs to rebound from a poor run here in December but her C&D second two starts ago was a good effort and she has obvious claims if judged on that performance. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
AW winner last September and in March (1m2f); a straggler over hurdles, hence the rock-bottom mark (and 4lb wrong today) but she's willing on the Flat and she might well fare much better now handicapping. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-Dan Skelton; several good runs for Rebecca Menzies last season, including when third at Kelso on latest start in November (3m, soft); just as effective on this better ground; each-way chance. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 |
18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Left Dan Skelton after winning at Stratford (2m2f, good; from 7lb lower) in July; visored at Wetherby (2m5f-3m) on last two starts when thereabouts from the front, without fully seeing out his race; ground conditions softer than ideal but he looks a player. |
11/4 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |

Bumper/handicap winner; up and down profile but made the frame in a first-time visor over 3m here recently and shouldn't mind dropping back in trip; bit to find with Belladinotte who was second in that race. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a Cartmel handicap in August 2023 (2m1f, soft); not been in much form since a Hexham second in June (2m, good to soft); others appeal more. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Only win was over 2m1f on soft; wasn't in best of form when last seen out and perhaps best watched on return from a break on first run beyond 2m6f; tongue-tie now tried. |
