20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Came good at sixth attempt, keeping on resolutely at Newcastle (2m6f, good to soft) three weeks ago; 6lb higher here but has plenty of scope for further progress if his jumping is more fluent this time. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Perked up again sent handicapping for his two starts this season, in fact best effort when second of nine at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft; up 3lb today) last time; on that evidence this longer trip will suit him well. |

Shaped quite well before fading into sixth of ten on seasonal/handicap debut at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October and probably still has some potential but he's been off for another four months since. |

11st 6lb |
Encouraging start over fences in 2026 when in the frame over C&D and at Worcester (2m7f) but not so good under more patient tactics when a well-held second of five at Stratford (2m3f) in July; freshened up since though and no surprise to see him bounce back in a change of headgear. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won over hurdles last season and made pretty good start to chasing career when third of seven at Bangor (2m4f, good; wore cheekpieces) in April; weakened out of contention on run-in at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time visor) this month but drops back in trip here and remains of interest. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Successful handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (about 2m5f, good) last October; no match at all for the winner on chase debut at Bangor (about 2m4f, good) in April but the return to this longer trip can help; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces; yard runs two. |

Runner-up over C&D in November on soft (effective on good) but hasn't kicked on from there and not sure the latest Sedgefield run (3m3f) was that much of a step back in the right direction. |

Runner-up at Wetherby (3m, soft) in November and ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) next time; of interest on those performances but two lacklustre efforts have followed. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Landed a third Flat win when taking Hamilton amateur riders' handicap (1m5f, good) around a year ago; now 2lb lower but he's been soundly beaten on both starts this year (1m4f Catterick handicap, 1m7f Hexham handicap chase) and needs to stage a revival. |

Hurdle/Flat winner; wasn't at his best on the Flat following a break at Catterick last month but should come on for the run; conditions fine; quite interesting on chase debut. |

11st 9lb |
Two wins at Cartmel this summer (2m6f/3m1f, good) and scored again at Perth (3m, good) three weeks ago; did it nicely last time and latest rise of 6lb may not stop this thriving 6yo. |

Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score here (2m6f, good) in June; managed only fourth (just behind Secret Secret) off new mark here last month but might have untapped potential over this new trip. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

11st 7lb |
C&D winner (similar mark) on Boxing Day; not the easiest to predict since and his respectable third at Perth (2m4f) last month was followed by a laboured performance at Cartmel (2m6f) 18 days later; place claims at a minimum if putting his best foot forward. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

2-17 over hurdles; not yet proven over quite this far but posted good effort when third at Perth (2m4f, good) this month and didn't run badly over 2m1f on only previous visit to Cartmel; could have a say. |

Nothing more than minor promise among her qualifying races and beaten about 17l when ninth of 15 at 50-1 on last month's handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); the first-time tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

Came from off the pace to win C&D mares' race (good) nine days ago and is now 3-17 over hurdles; due only a 3lb rise for that and faces tough task under 7lb penalty instead, but at least we know she's in good nick. |

Returned from break with win at Southwell (3m, good) in April but did not get competitive when sixth at Hexham (the scene of her other win) last month and, even if back on song, might find others in this line-up better handicapped. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Back-to-back C&D wins in June and July under William Maggs but never travelled in his hat-trick bid at Cartmel two weeks later, when he may not have been suited by the track; remains 3lb above his most recent success but worth considering back at his favourite venue. |
3/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In-form 7yo who comes here after two narrow wins at Market Rasen (both 3m+, good); latest 4lb rise ought to be manageable and this drop back in trip won't be a problem; big player if suited by this different track. |
4/1 |
|
1st 9 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Both wins here, the latest 16 days ago when holding on grimly off a 6lb lower mark; can be inconsistent. |
