24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Fast-improving 8yo who scored at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month and has now won four of his last five; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive; commands respect. |
5/1 |

1st 3 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
In excellent form this season, winning three times on good ground (2m4f-2m7f; once here); last month's clear second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was another career best but he's 5lb higher today and the forecast rain is a likely negative; goes beyond about 3m for first time; tongue-tie added. |

2nd 8 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Has done well since arriving from Ireland and was delivered late to win handicaps at Hexham (extended 2m7f), Cartmel (2m6f) and here on Friday (2m4f) when he sat last for a long way but won easily in the end; huge chance if turned out quickly with a penalty. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly useful hurdles winner (at up to 2m6f) this summer who ran well very back on the Flat with fourth of 18 in 1m4f maiden at Galway 23 days ago; this Irish challenger is a player. |
9/4 |

4th 9 (14) |
29th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 43y |
11st 12lb |
Has done well over hurdles this year, winning 2m6f Downpatrick handicap last month and good second off revised mark since at Cartmel and Downpatrick; first start on the Flat since finishing second in this race last year and could go well again. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 |
14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 185y |
11st 11lb |
In excellent form in 2026; beaten a head at Ayr in March (2m, soft); won easily over this C&D (good) early last month; denied by a neck at Cartmel (2m6f, good) on latest; 12lb higher now than when successful here but can give another good account. |

Useful as juvenile hurdler for Willie Mullins but didn't take to fences; three recent runs for Gordon Elliott haven't been great, but not ruled out. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Three wins last spring and a career best to score at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) this March, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; ran creditably at Kelso (2m5f, good) 12 weeks ago but that fourth of six suggests that she needs to raise her game again. |
16/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft; including C&D) and followed a break by returning to winning ways with a career best at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; could still have more to offer and she's respected up 4lb. |
7/2 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft); ran okay when fourth of seven over C&D (good to soft) in November when last seen (lost a shoe); each-way claims if fully tuned up after a break. |

In fairly good form (albeit without winning) at regular haunt Cartmel this spring/summer and has edged his way down to a good mark; unraced here but has a fighting chance if suited by the track. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Three-time C&D winner who was placed on quicker-than-ideal ground over C&D (good) last month; didn't run badly when fifth here (3m1f, good; just behind Masterminding) on Saturday and rain will aid his cause. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time course winner over 2m6f; remains on a workable mark after last month's creditable third over that trip here (good) and will be favoured by the forecast rain; major player. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |

Three-time C&D winner, most recently in May; needs to bounce back from below-par run here three weeks ago but probably still on a workable mark; dangerous to ignore. |
14/1 |

6th 11 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Yard also runs Rauzan but this one has three C&D wins from six visits here; latest win was last month and he went close under 7lb penalty over 3m1f here two days later; those were his only two runs since latest wind surgery; raised another 4lb today but he has to be on the shortlist. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won the 2m6f handicap on this card 12 months ago and returned to form with a 2l success over that same trip on Monday (following a wind operation); did that comfortably and must have every chance under a penalty. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won here over C&D in July 2024 and over fences in July 2025 (his only wins in those years); the second of his two races this May (both under Leah Noreci) suggests he could be building up to a good run; first-time visor replaces his usual cheekpieces; stable runs three. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has plenty of form around here over hurdles and fences, and very nearly won this race 12 months ago off 1lb higher (under Charlotte Jones); ran surprisingly well when 125-1 for a Class 2 at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
10/1 |

10th 12 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Hurdles form (handicap winner over 2m4f-3m1f) does not look quite good enough in this higher grade and the form of his winning chase debut at Cartmel last July has been followed by heavy defeats in both starts since (ridden by this 10lb claimer on latest); others preferred. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Exploited a reduced mark and snapped a long losing sequence at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) last month on his second outing following wind surgery; did it comfortably and remains well treated on his old form following a 6lb rise; major player if backing up that latest performance. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Now 7lb lower than when 40-1 third in quite valuable Kelso handicap (2m5f, good to soft) in March but this season's C&D form has been underwhelming; needs to up his game. |
14/1 |
|
10th 13 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when creditable third at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but weakened quickly after making a lot of the running over C&D (good; visored, as today) three weeks ago and is now 0-9 for stable; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled in three starts in May/June and has left Jennie Candlish since he was down the field over hurdles at Cartmel in June; makes his stable debut having dropped 2lb below his last Flat winning mark but he was well beaten on his only previous start on the AW. |
14/1 |

9th 3 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Didn't set the world alight in his three handicap hurdles (won his two previous hurdle starts); those handicaps were at up to 2m1f and he's much more of a stayer on the Flat, but his two Flat runs at Chester (where he won last season) this term were disappointing; tongue tied first time. |
14/1 |

8th 3 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Soundly beaten in last month's Chester Plate (2m2f) but this race is easier and he's now only 1lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last summer; versatile regarding ground; contender if back on song. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but out of form for a good while now, including on this month's two runs (latest a rare Flat run) for new stable; it's therefore hard to see him adding to the trainer's recent winners; Divilabother looks a much better chance for the yard but Harry Reed (who rides most of their British runners) is on this one. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but has been out of form over jumps for a good while now, including when last of six on recent stable debut; this will be his first Flat run since a heavy defeat in summer 2023. |
14/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
9-39 hurdles, but no win since quickening clear in a four-runner Class 2 at Kempton (2m5f, good; from 19lb higher) in November 2024; pulled up over fences (bled from nose) on final start for Harriet Dickin nearly four months ago; best watched on stable debut (£6,000 purchase). |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Pulled up/well beaten at Cartmel on his two starts this summer but he won over this C&D (good) in May to further enhance his good record at Kelso; he's just 1lb above that last winning mark and could go well. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Bounced back to form with narrow win at Kelso (2m5f, good) in May but that seems to be his favourite track and he ran poorly here (2m6f) last month; this drop back in trip is not ideal; not the percentage call. |
