11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
11lb below his peak mark and well handicapped judged on best efforts, the most recent of which were over 3m on good ground late in 2024; muted in this three runs this term, only one of which was over fences but he ended up tailed off in that Wetherby race, which he'd won a year earlier; those past glories may now be too distant. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who won this in good style last year (good) and again has the benefit of a recent run, which could give him an advantage over a few of these; can give a good account in first-time cheekpieces but it looks a hotter contest than 12 months ago and he carries a 6lb penalty this time. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Generally disappointing during light campaign last season but turned things around with staying-on third here (2m4f, good to soft) on final start in April; remains well handicapped on older form and will be suited by this return to 3m; can't be ignored. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up on soft ground this month, after a layoff, but this three-time course winner is now only 1lb higher than when holding on for narrow C&D (good) success last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Six hurdle wins, latest over 3m1f at Cartmel last August (good); high enough in the ratings at present, lacks a recent run and perhaps best watched this time. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive 8yo who has collected two good prizes at Cartmel (2m6f/3m1f, good) since tongue-tie was refitted in July; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive but this more conventional track may not suit quite so well. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Another in this field who took in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, finishing a good fifth of 24 to Supremely West; should be competitive again but nothing in his record suggests he has enough in hand to win a race as hot as this. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Never-dangerous tenth in this race last year; ran creditably on three of his four starts this season, second in the Musselburgh qualifier last time, but he's an exposed 8yo who needs to show something new. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Exposed hurdler 1-14 in that sphere and rated 113; his win came over 3m2f but he's effective at this shorter trip; however, not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and lacks a recent run; others appeal more. |

7th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 60y |
11st 7lb |
Won off 10lb lower at Sligo (3m2f, good) in May; beaten 1l off 114 at Kilbeggan in July (20.5f, yld-sft) and just 1lb higher here; not beaten far at Perth latest and he has place claims. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since comfortable win in 15-runner Sligo handicap (3m2f, good) in June and was below form when well-held third in Downpatrick novice on Friday but has a big role to play if back on song here. |
