29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
All three of his wins over fences have been gained here, including the last two editions of this race (soft and good ground); now 8lb lower after some lesser efforts but he went close off this mark here (about 3m1f; no headgear) last month and wasn't beaten far in cheekpieces behind Aill Dubh, Blazing Court and Path Of Stars over C&D two days later; headgear off again and he won't mind what the weather does; contender. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f); bounced back from two lacklustre efforts when staying on to go close here (3m1f, good; usual tongue-tie/blinkers left off) on Saturday and remains well handicapped but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again; wears cheekpieces for first time since 2024. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
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. |

2nd 8 |
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. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Always behind when 50-1 for 2m1f handicap hurdle here (soft) on stable debut in June and now 0-7 over hurdles; moves back up in trip for this chasing debut; not the most obvious answer. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
0-6 over hurdles for Alastair Ralph, and her second at Stratford (2m, good) in April came in a very ordinary mares' maiden; sold for £9,000 last month; needs improvement on stable debut; tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won three times over 3m2f here (always on good ground) during productive campaign last season; needs career-best performance to overcome this rise in grade but returns here after respectable fourth over today's trip at Cartmel (good) last month. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ended last season with two hard-fought wins at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when well-held fourth at Bangor (3m, good) in June but current mark demands a career-best performance and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal. |
12/1 |

4th 5 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Thriving over Sedgefield's extended 3m2f latterly, needing every yard of it last time (good) in order to complete a double; new career-high mark asks a question, and the return to 3m isn't certain to suit. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won by 36l over C&D in July but that race fell apart and he hasn't threatened since, beaten about 14l returned to fences the last twice; could be on a tough mark (that last win was off 12lb lower) but this is weak. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
His last two starts were better than his first two this year, but he still needs much more and is 5lb out of the handicap. |

6th 8 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win in 68 career starts did at least come over fences but he's not in much form and 10lb out of the weights. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on both starts this year (3m1f/2m3f) and makes no appeal from 10lb out of the handicap. |

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. |
