21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Started off for Adam Nicol with two comfortable C&D wins last month (good to soft/good) and travelled strongly for a long way before failing to see out 2m4f here a fortnight ago; upped significantly in grade today but this drop back in trip is the obvious move, and he might still have more to offer for his new stable. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 for Adam Nicol, winning easily over 2m here (good; Dream Jet 35l away in third) 18 days ago; the handicapper has taken another hit - 13lb higher - but it mightn't be enough to thwart the hat-trick bid; the only slight reservation being this 2m4f trip. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 5lb |
Subject of a gamble here last time (2-1 fav') when gaining first win back from a 458-day absence on second start (2m3f, good to yielding) for this stable; up 14lb but it was an easy win so he might be up to going in again. |

1st 18 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 50y |
11st 3lb |
Second reserve; beaten 25l when last seen at Down Royal in January but is capable of better for a shrewd yard, so keep an eye on the market. |

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. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good; form well advertised by winner since) in March but three lesser efforts have followed and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Below form on last two appearances and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and that form has been well advertised by the winner since; good claims if back at that level. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Dual course winner (2m), who sits 5lb below his last winning mark; finished a remote third to Conquer The Breeze here latest, so it's difficult to work out how he goes about making up such a deficit, even acknowledging more favourable terms. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has a decent record here (231413) but usually needs a run under his belt to hit form after a break; this will be his first run of the year but his course record means he cannot be ignored. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 20y |

Still a maiden after 22 starts over hurdles; hard to be confident against that background, although recent form is quite respectable. |

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. |
6/4 |
|
1st 6 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
First ever drop to 2m looks worth a try, having not lasted home in two 3m hunter chases latterly (one here); risks attached, however, having run out twice in points (ahead when exited at the last over 2m4f in March), and may have competition if intent on front-running again. |
11/4 |

4th 1 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden; has been placed on a few occasions pointing (also run out twice) but hasn't shown much in his two runs in hunter chases; not an obvious candidate. |

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. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |

All three wins have been at Cartmel and he'll be of greater interest around there this summer; last to complete at Ayr in the race won by Dance Thief. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won five times when trained in France; first win in Britain came at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August; has run well when in the frame since but was beaten 30l back over hurdles when last seen in November; may be better for the run. |
12/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Multiple wins in France and won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) with cheekpieces back on (retained since) in August; well held last time when second but continues to give his running; should be thereabouts. |

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. |
