11th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; didn't get very far at Listowel two weeks ago but was badly hampered by a faller and he was heavily backed in that competitive race; still looks on a workable mark and this admirable veteran is a key player for in-form yard. |

11st 6lb |
Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth 19 days ago (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; this will take more winning but if as good again he'll be involved. |

C&D winner last July for a sixth win over fences but has been absent since finishing tailed off later that month; on a good mark and best to let the market guide as to his current wellbeing. |

11st 12lb |
Below par since the summer of 2024, although he has made the frame on several occasions; not entirely disgraced when third at Perth (2m4f, good) in September; likely to be thereabouts again but others appeal more for the win. |

11st 11lb |
Flattered by second placing in a 21.5f Tramore beginners' chase on stable debut when benefitting from carnage at the second last fence; however, she was staying on pretty nicely so looks worth a go at this longer trip back over hurdles; visor goes on. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |

3-16 over hurdles for John McConnell, the wins coming at 2m3f-2m5f; has failed to match that over fences; has changed to a leading local stable; talented 5lb claimer rides. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |

Is 3-16 over hurdles but not at the same level over fences as of yet; there are signs of improvement, though and her run at Perth last time was her best so far; could be more improvement in new set of headgear. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner who returned from break with two low-key runs in February/March; usually knocks about in lower-grade races than this but returns to this track on a workable mark (even from 3lb out of the weights) and is versatile regarding ground. |
6/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

Has done all of his winning at Cartmel and Catterick; made the frame in this race 12 months ago but was beaten long way over C&D on return from layoff last time. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m5f, soft) last June and runner-up at Perth (3m, good) in September; below par at Hexham in October when last seen but a break may have helped and he can go well fresh; could be a contender on his return. |

Beaten 20l when second two starts back and then behind Wasdell Dundalk over C&D two months ago; an 11yo now and powers are on the wane. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Getting long in the tooth now and was not at his best on any of three outings in the spring, most recently when remote second behind Whistleinthedark over C&D; on a very good mark now, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces today. |

Good-ground performer; last win was over C&D in June 2023 (good); some fair efforts since; back on a decent mark; needs to improve on recent efforts. |

Good strike-rate over fences but beaten between 16l and 25l in his last three races and he's into the veteran stage now. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
5-19 over fences, the latest win at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April; not in same form at Cartmel or Stratford since and first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; has it to do giving weight away to more progressive rivals. |

5-18 over fences, the latest win at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April; not in same form at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago but the ground probably turned against him there and he's still on a workable mark. |

A win apiece over hurdles and fences, both at Kilbeggan on good ground; soundly beaten since his last win in August; this better ground will suit her but others make more appeal. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
No win over hurdles since July 2021, and was a remote last of eight in this last year; solid record over fences here - four wins at 3m - which does at least offer some hope, even if he has struggled for form (P84) in his last three starts; might need this off a 232-day absence. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |

Four-time C&D winner (good-heavy), including this race in 2023; has questions to answer after disappointing on last two appearances but was second on consecutive C&D starts in June/July and can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Very disappointing last time at Uttoxeter but was runner-up over C&D in his two previous starts and he's bidding for a hat-trick in this race; nothing wrong with his mark if back on song. |
