24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Showed fair form in bumpers but she's yet to match that in this sphere, pulled up in 2m Hexham handicap 15 days ago; has something to prove now. |
9/1 |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-7 over hurdles but ran well and suggested her turn might be near when close fourth behind Snapaudaciaheros over C&D (good) last month, and won't mind if the ground is slower today; could be the answer. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Showed promise in bumpers last season but is 0-6 over hurdles this term; drops back in trip after 37l defeat at Sedgefield (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; considered only if lively in the betting. |

14-race maiden and soft ground wasn't an obvious excuse when tailed off in a 2m4f seller at Leicester in December; now visored. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but was pulled up on last month's handicap debut, having refused to settle; might be more relaxed without blinkers (worn for last three races) here but still looks too risky. |
33/1 |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Third of five in a bumper last April; triple-figure odds for all four starts over hurdles and pulled up on first three; while 35l seventh of 11 at Kelso (2m, heavy) on latest was better, with tongue-tie added to blinkers, others clearly bring more solid claims to his handicap debut today. |

10st 13lb |
Yet to win (0-10); was always to the fore when second-best to Dublinofficecallin (runs in first division at 4.55pm) over C&D recently; fully entitled to be thereabouts if reproducing a similar level; Jack Power takes over in the saddle. |

2nd 10 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Has reached the frame in two of his three handicaps at around 2m4f this spring and being eased another 2lb can only help. |

3rd 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |

Well beaten at Sedgefield last month but made a fairly encouraging handicap debut when fourth over C&D (soft) two starts ago and, now 5lb lower, enters each-way calculations. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Fair 1m2f Flat winner in Ireland last April; he hasn't yet found his level over hurdles, soundly beaten when tongue tied in handicaps on last two outings; tried cheekpieces before that and now sports blinkers. |
8/1 |

6th 10 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won 1m2f handicap at Navan (RPR 75) last spring but he hasn't found his level over hurdles as yet, failing to pick up when 28-1 and finishing remote on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; Scairp Dubh fourth) last month; has plenty of work to do. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Gave pretty good account before fading into fifth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) on Tuesday but he's 0-11 over hurdles now and has to compete from just out of the weights. |

Two Flat wins, the latest at 2m in 2023, but he's shown very little in a handful of starts on the Flat and over hurdles since spring 2024. |

Encouraging handicap debut when third at Ayr (2m, soft) last March but soundly beaten or pulled up in the meantime and no improvement for cheekpieces at Ayr last time out; visored this time; all uphill on these terms. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |
25/1 |

4th 10 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
1-38 over hurdles, the win gained at Hexham (2m, good) last May; his good days have become infrequent, though, and he's 3lb out of the weights today; not the percentage call. |
25/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap. |
16/1 |
Verdict
None of these are convincing. The Carlisle race featuring KNOCKERANNA ROSE, Junkyard Dog, and Gold Ring is as useful a form line as any. It’s possible blinkers will assist Junkyard Dog – one who possesses ability – but he still has plenty of ground to make up with Susan Corbett’s locally trained runner. [Mark Rowntree]
