26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has looked in good nick since returning from wind surgery; however, he was close up behind Caughtinyourtrance here last month and he's 8lb higher now after winning a Class 3 handicap over 3m5f here two days later by 7.5l (Fairlawn Flyer third); he's still a major player with James Murray, aboard last time, again up top. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Popular veteran who runs this track well and capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in May; this drop back in trip is not ideal on his return to hurdling, though; cheekpieces (worn for last three races) left off today. |

2nd 1 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
No longer the force of old and inconsistent nowadays but he capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) three weeks ago and he is also very well suited by this track. |

1st 3 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Gained three of his 14 wins here, including 2022 edition of this race, but has regressed and become inconsistent; didn't run badly in last month's Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) but younger rivals have much more appealing profiles. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has won ten of his 30 chases, four of them last year; hasn't been in quite such good form this term, last time finishing 8l fourth of six at Cartmel (3m1f, good), but he's on a good mark now. |
11/2 |

4th 6 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Admirable strike-rate of 10-29 over fences; won this 12 months ago off 1lb higher and had only five starts in the meantime, the latest respectable in a higher grade behind stablemate Stratagem; chance. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
10-28 over fences, including three 3m1f course wins; below form at Ffos Las this month, after a break, but is back on a good mark and this marathon trip will suit; must be considered. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Ended last season in good form, winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) before good second at Haydock (3m1f, good), and ran quite a bit better than eventual 20l defeat suggests when fourth in Cartmel marathon (3m5f, good) last month; no surprise if he features here. |
10/1 |

4th 5 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Ended last season in good form, winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) before good second at Haydock (3m1f, good); ran well (over hurdles) on only previous visit to Cartmel and has possibilities if this new trip suits; refused to line up and withdrawn at Aintree recently (8-1 at the time). |
7/2 |

9 |
15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a Class 4 at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and raised another 1lb for his second in a better race at Haydock (3m1f, good), finishing just ahead of Jacks Parrot; this 11yo is thriving and entitled to play a part in the finish. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Thorough stayer who made all at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February and rebounded from a lesser effort when third at Perth (3m, good) last month; has never run here before but is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Disappointing at Haydock last time (3m1f, good) but successful at Doncaster before that (3m, good to soft); each-way chance. |
9/1 |
|
7th 7 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Veteran who retains enthusiasm, and he jumped well and made all at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February, but he's back up 6lb and probably in a stronger race here. |
6/1 |
