6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Only win came courtesy of the stewards' at Newcastle (2m6f, heavy) in January 2024; was returning from a lengthy absence when runner-up to a Skelton-runner at Newcastle (2m4f; 18-1) in March; realistic prospect of easing conditions would aid his cause. |

Won a handicap here off 3lb higher in January 2024 (2m6f, heavy); has run only four times since; has form on this drier ground but no easy task after a break of 674 days. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Prolific in 2022-23 but just one win in her last 29 starts, gained over this C&D but off 5lb lower; mostly consistent without threatening this year, and minor honours likeliest at best. |
16/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent. |
9/2 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Last win came off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen in June last year (2m4f, good); not at her best last time but has a chance on her previous run when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft). |

10st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but ran quite well when fourth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March and her subsequent 2m5f Flat win makes her of strong interest over this new trip. |

Won by 5.5l over the extended 2m5f here before getting outpaced in a sprint finish back over 2m at Newcastle; remains in good form and entitled to feature. |

Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |

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. |

11st 2lb |
Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |
7/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |

Only previous win was over 3m but off this mark; stopped the rot when beaten 5l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby and he's effective at this trip. |

Won a Cartmel handicap in August 2023 (2m1f, soft); not been in much form since a Hexham second in June (2m, good to soft); others appeal more. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |

Only win was over 2m1f on soft; wasn't in best of form when last seen out and perhaps best watched on return from a break on first run beyond 2m6f; tongue-tie now tried. |

12st 0lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt over hurdles when justifying support at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) 17 days ago; up 7lb but that was an emphatic success and she's open to more progress; big player. |
6/4 |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Gradual improvement over hurdles, twice hitting the frame at Ludlow (2m5f-3m), getting to within 3l of Son Of Tyran (beaten by Brionywells since) last month; slightly more needed to make the breakthrough from this 1lb higher mark. |
5/1 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |

Maiden under both codes; seemed to appreciate the return to good ground here 18 days ago (2m5f) and having the visor back on was no bad thing; needs a bit more off the same mark but hard to dismiss. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Yet to win in eight runs over hurdles, but third over 2m1f here (good to soft) and over 2m3f at Doncaster (soft) and Catterick (good to soft; first two have both won since) on last three starts; chance. |
9/2 |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |

Made it 0-9 when no match for the front two at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last time but the runner-up has won since and this lightly raced 6yo is unexposed at today's trip; could be in the shake-up. |
9/2 |
