28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has progressed well with blinkers since his latest C&D win in April (good), scoring at Kelso and Perth (both over 2m on good) and finishing good second off a pound lower than today at Cartmel last month; chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home over C&D (good) last month and has now won three of his last four; probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 5lb rise but must be considered in current mood. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at 15th attempt, with hard-fought success in C&D (good) maiden six weeks ago; has more on his plate in this good-quality handicap, though, and needs to kick on again. |
10/1 |
|
1st 4 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed 14-race maiden over hurdles (placed on seven occasions) who has some fair form to his credit, including when second in a C&D handicap last month (good); likely to find a couple too good. |
7/2 |

2nd 8 |

0-3 on the Flat and 0-13 over hurdles, having had a few chances now in maidens and handicaps; has to raise his game. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Without a win on the Flat since 2021 and he came in only ninth of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap 23 days ago; others appeal more. |
9/1 |
|
9th 7 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent hurdler who returned to the Flat with respectable fourth (just behind Penelope's Sister) over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower today and might be better suited by the slightly slower ground; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (10) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 3-54 but he's been placed over hurdles in his last two runs and is well handicapped on his best Flat form in 2025; hard to rule out back in this sphere and he has won at this track. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat three weeks ago and now 0-13 since joining Iain Jardine but was second to Alvesta over C&D (good) on latest hurdling start and is also suited by slower ground; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Did well to finish third after stumbling at the start at Carlisle (1m1f, good) last month and has since run well over hurdles; no issue with track, trip or ground conditions and has possibilities for a trainer who has won this three times since 2021. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four course wins (all over 2m); lacked the pace to challenge when third over that trip here (good; 4-1) early last month; finished down the field back on the Flat (1m2f) since; stablemate Follow Charlie has more to recommend. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who was a respectable third at Perth (2m, good) 25 days ago; still lightly raced on the Flat but she's 5lb higher than for her win here (1m5f, soft) last autumn and not sure this drop back to 1m2f will suit; others are more persuasive. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Four C&D wins, the most recent when justifying favouritism from 2lb higher in May 2025; Flat winner since (last September); reportedly never travelling when only fifth of 12 (Ravenscraig Castle third) here on latest start. |

Safely held when sixth over C&D (good) on both recent outings and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts; not written off just yet but clearly needs to take a step forward. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden; no real improvement for wind surgery, beaten 13.5l over C&D latest; in good hands but still has plenty of work to do to reverse placings with Ravenscraig Castle (third) and Just Dottie (fifth); best to focus elsewhere. |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

0-6 over fences and has yet to click for this yard; had little chance from out of the handicap last time, however, and this represents his easiest task for a while; watch for market support. |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Stuart Crawford, latterly at Ayr (2m4f) in November 2024; has gone the wrong way and competes from 14lb out of the handicap on this fourth run for current trainer, having had wind surgery since latest; by far the least likely candidate. |
33/1 |

5th 6 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

11st 9lb |
Record of 2-6 over hurdles, though neither win came in a handicap; only one effort of note in five runs over fences and blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces; the stable probably has brighter prospects with Cosmic Soul. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Yet to score in this sphere but has made the frame on both starts since fitted with blinkers, albeit remote when third of six in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase 36 days ago; possibilities. |
13/2 |

3rd 6 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two novice hurdle wins last term (2m/2m4f, good) and he returned to form in first-time blinkers when going close here (2m3f, soft) last month on third chase start; kept on well last time so this step up in trip is worth a go; could have a part to play if the blinkers maintain their effect. |

11st 1lb |
Runner-up in the two handicaps he has completed and could have done with a truer pace when chasing home the market leader over 2m4f here last time; he's highly likely to get one here and he's one to consider. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Patiently ridden and bustled up the winner (Camarrate) at Newcastle (2m4f, good; from 2lb lower) on penultimate start; pulled up over C&D subsequently; still low mileage, so isn't a forlorn hope if bouncing back from that blip. |
12/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Improved form when 16-1 runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good) 12 days ago on second handicap start; needs to back up that latest performance but he's unexposed on good ground and drying conditions would aid his cause. |

11st 6lb |
In fine form earlier this year, notching a hurdles hat-trick at Sedgefield (2m1f-2m4f; rising 16lb); reportedly stopped quickly when beaten favourite over 2m here (last of 12, beaten 42l) in June; it's possible that we might see the best version of this 6yo off a ten-week absence. |

His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb. |
