13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
5lb higher mark than for last month's soft-ground C&D victory over Sunset Hill and Johnson's Blue still reads favourably next to his 2022-23 peak RPRs; Flat scorer at Hamilton since (1m5f, good), and plainly on fine terms with himself again; player. |

1st 5 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) last September and he's just 1lb higher today; won over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month on his second start for this yard and there's lots to like about his claims. |

Won a Hamilton handicap for Stuart Coltherd in September (1m5f, good to soft); subsequently changed yards and promising third over 2m here on stable debut after a break last week (good); should improve on that but yet to prove he is as effective at this trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
A head away from securing a fifth course win here last Saturday (2m); can number two C&D successes among that haul and respected again, for all that his record in the past three editions of this race reads 655. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Four Hexham wins (2m-2m4f) and is rated 15lb lower than when last successful at Kelso (2m, Class 2) in May 2024; returned from a 204-day absence with a decent effort, runner-up to Banderas, over 2m4f here latest; respected, even if some of the others have more potential. |
5/1 |

2nd 12 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Four-time winner here, two over C&D on good ground (handles soft); undoubtedly on a dangerous mark but latest two efforts have been underwhelming and he needs to turn things around; safer to look elsewhere on recent form. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Return to forcing tactics has reaped dividends, both recent course wins (2m/2m4f, good) gained making all; starts handicap life in a higher grade than he absolutely has to, and the early lead will likely be contested, but his mark isn't punitive by any means; remains of interest. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Dual Irish point winner; showed marked improvement on what he'd previously achieved in three runs over hurdles when winning a maiden hurdle here over 2m this month, keeping on well; has to concede weight all round under a penalty, but his experience will help and it's likely there's more to come now going back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won two points in Ireland; third in two hurdle races, although the latest effort at Sedgefield was a step in the wrong direction; needs to bounce back and may prove ideally suited by longer distances. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Only win away from Uttoxeter came over today's C&D in May 2025, and she was a good third in this race soon after (split Johnson's Blue and Well Educated) despite pulling; well held off career-high mark latest. |
9/1 |
|
8th 6 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
C&D winner on this card last year and made it 5-9 here when making all to defeat Sir Galahad by 3l three weeks ago; 6lb rise sees her on a career-high mark but lots to like otherwise. |
13/2 |
|
1st 5 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Four of her five wins over hurdles have been at this track (three over today's distance); must overcome a lengthy absence and is 7lb higher than for her last success but she cannot he dismissed around here. |

11st 10lb |
On the face of it work on to reverse recent C&D form with Perseus Way and Sunset Hill despite a swing in the weights, but course record prior to that read four wins and (off 8lb higher) a short head second in this race last year ahead of two reopposing rivals; respected. |

3rd 7 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |

Tailed off on his final hurdle start in November and three subsequent chase runs leave him with further questions to answer; potentially on a useful mark if he can get back on track, but there are clearly risks attached. |

11st 3lb |
Couldn't hold on having been committed some way out on each recent C&D start, though split Perseus Way and Johnson's Blue in the first (soft) and recorded her best ever good-ground form in the latest; thereabouts. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Failed to build on an encouraging return over fences in November, but latest effort over hurdles following a break was a good step forward when a close second over C&D ten days ago; nudged up 3lb for that and yet to win in handicap company, which suggests she possibly remains on a tough enough mark. |

One-time Formby Hurdle third who didn't kick on switched to fences; forfeited all chance at the start in a debuted hood (discarded) on sole sighting since December 2024, and present ability level conjectural. |

8th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 3 |

Hasn't appeared to fancy fences this season but he was a good novice hurdler last campaign and a revival would come as no surprise now back in this discipline; cheekpieces may also assist. |

Happiest hunting ground is Cartmel, but a record of 225244P around today's C&D includes a neck second in this race in 2024 off 5lb lower, with Well Educated 23l behind; miles off his best in one start apiece at each of these venues so far this term, however. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up on soft ground this month, after a layoff, but this three-time course winner is now only 1lb higher than when holding on for narrow C&D (good) success last summer; dangerous to ignore. |
20/1 |
|

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Six hurdle wins, latest over 3m1f at Cartmel last August (good); high enough in the ratings at present, lacks a recent run and perhaps best watched this time. |
