18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Defied this mark over C&D (good) last August but he's been out of sorts in his last three runs and latest was at Cartmel three weeks ago; has something to prove and he needs to get back on track; blinkers are removed and cheekpieces return. |
7/1 |

6th 10 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Scored over C&D last August off 1lb lower; may have needed the run when fourth of six finishers at Bangor (2m1f, good) last month following six-month break and holds claims. |
9/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won five times when trained in France; first win in Britain came at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August; has run well when in the frame since but was beaten 30l back over hurdles when last seen in November; may be better for the run. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended last year with a brave win at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) but he's not gone on from that in two runs this summer; needs to raise his game but he's now only 1lb higher than for his last success and his first two chase wins were over C&D (good). |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Market Rasen regular, with three wins, two of those in a visor over fences (2m1f); just did enough to prevail at Catterick (2m; from 2lb lower) in December and looked in need of the comeback run at Cartmel (weakened quickly) 16 days ago; don't discount. |
13/2 |
|
4th 5 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up on his only previous run here and returns on the back of a third chase win, gained at Catterick in December (1m7f, good to soft; fine on good); if fit enough then he should be competitive off a fair mark. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has been getting her act together over fences and the breakthrough came at Cartmel (2m1f) in July on her penultimate start; stayed on from the rear when third of eight over that C&D (also good) ten days ago; this sort of trip is probably worth exploring again. |
3/1 |

3rd 8 |
25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
The breakthrough had been coming and he was much too good for Pittsburg over C&D (good) a month ago; 7lb higher but something appears to have clicked. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
14-race maiden; in the frame in three consecutive good-ground chases since dropped back to about 2m this season but needs to find something extra to get a win on the board here and the forecast slower ground is a worry. |

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. |
11/8 |
|
4th 2 |
25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt over fences when strolling home by a wide margin at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but that race took little winning and he was then beaten 8l into third off the same mark back over hurdles at Uttoxeter; seemed to struggle with the 14lb rise when only fifth on his return to fences here on Saturday (2m5f). |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Sole success was at Stratford (2m1f, good) last May and she's been out of sorts in her last seven starts; 5lb out of the weights this time and she has a lot to prove. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles but has very shaky record over fences in recent years; pulled up at Cartmel one month ago and now 0-13 in this sphere; 2lb wrong today; too risky. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles; 0-12 over fences and fell at his final attempt; others appeal more from 2lb out of the weights. |
