26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
First win for a long time and over fences when it was never in much doubt here a month ago (2m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces); went up 8lb but Charlotte Jones announced her retirement straight after that race so 10lb claimer Leah Noreci now takes over; weighted to go well again and this longer trip won't trouble him. |

11st 4lb |
Hasn't won for ages but nearly put that right when going down by a neck here on Saturday (2m5f, good); Leah Noreci rode then so he's without the 10lb claim this time; still respected with cheekpieces added. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
An infrequent winner but got off the mark over fences, after two placed efforts, at Hexham (1m7f, good) 15 days ago; cannot be dismissed while in this mood. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Encouraging start to chasing career, keeping on behind a subsequent winner over C&D before finishing closer still at Cartmel latest (2m1f, good); this would be no stronger than either race, and mark still unchanged. |
11/8 |

2nd 1 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Flat/hurdle winner who left Dan Skelton for 4,400gns; finished a clear second at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft; effective on good) on stable/chase debut and the revitalised winner has struck again since; gets in here off the same mark. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Record of 5-18 over fences but all of those wins have come at Sedgefield (2m/2m4f); only 2lb higher than for his last win in April but he's not gone on from that and was a well-held fifth of seven over C&D (good; 16-1) last time; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
5th 11 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
At his best at Sedgefield where he boasts five wins; fair effort when third to Zumbi over C&D last month but it may be best to wait until he returns to his favoured venue. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended last year with a brave win at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) but he's not gone on from that in two runs this summer; needs to raise his game but he's now only 1lb higher than for his last success and his first two chase wins were over C&D (good). |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Market Rasen regular, with three wins, two of those in a visor over fences (2m1f); just did enough to prevail at Catterick (2m; from 2lb lower) in December and looked in need of the comeback run at Cartmel (weakened quickly) 16 days ago; don't discount. |
13/2 |
|
4th 5 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up on his only previous run here and returns on the back of a third chase win, gained at Catterick in December (1m7f, good to soft; fine on good); if fit enough then he should be competitive off a fair mark. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Close second over fences at Catterick in January (1m7f, good) but mainly poor efforts since, the latest in a selling hurdle. |

4th 5 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Three hurdle wins in Ireland during 2023 but a close second over fences at Catterick (about 1m7f, good) in January came from out of the blue and hasn't been repeated since; returns to hurdles with a cloud hanging over him. |
14/1 |

7th 1 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Seemingly back in good form when close second to short-odds favourite at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, his third start for Joanne Foster, but pulled up there twice since and now has it all to prove again; tongue-tie (worn on penultimate start) refitted. |

Extremely hard to win with and modest runs outweigh the good ones these days. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Good third at Market Rasen two runs back (2m1f, good to soft); hard to win with, but an each-way chance; new combination of headgear tried. |
10/1 |

6th 8 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both wins over fences came over C&D in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's generally struggled in the last 12 months and was last of seven over C&D (good) when last seen in May; plenty to prove and all of his wins have been on soft or heavy ground. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not in flying form earlier this year but all three career wins have been at Cartmel, the last two over fences; the concern is the conditions as he does enjoy significant cut underfoot. |
