15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back in trip, and readily resumed winning ways here (2m, good; 14-1) five weeks ago; that was in a Class 5 (0-105) so he has more on his plate in a 0-120 from this 6lb higher mark; one of two for Mike Smith, with Murray Dodd able to claim his full 5lb allowance this time. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has slipped to a tempting mark but needs to up his game after some below-par recent efforts; gained all four wins at about 2m4f and is probably better suited by ground slower than good; others preferred. |

4-29, including a C&D win (from 2lb lower) at this two-day Perth fixture in 2025; has been competing over 3m recently, failing to get home when fourth to Suspected (beaten over 13l) here three weeks ago; dropping back in trip is in his favour; don't discount hastily. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who kept on from the rear for second of 14 over C&D (good) on handicap debut in April; didn't really build on that run when fifth of 12 here last month but still considered; tongue-tie added. |

Fair Flat racer (albeit a maiden) who kept on from the rear for clear second behind Breadalbane Lass over C&D (good) on handicap hurdle debut in April; shortlisted. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

4yo who is yet to threaten across his three hurdle starts but last time was better and he has potential off his opening jumps mark based on the ability he has shown on the Flat; could be involved. |

0-3 in bumpers and 0-7 as a hurdler; however, she's consistent and has each-way claims on peak form; tries cheekpieces. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In the frame all six hurdling starts, most recently when clear second of four on last month's handicap debut at Bangor (2m, good); competes off unchanged mark here and features prominently in calculations. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In the frame all five hurdling starts, most recently when second in Cartmel novice (2m1f, good) last month, after a break; ought to be very competitive again on this handicap debut. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Veteran who has gained four of his ten hurdle wins at this track and often builds up a big lead; needs to rebound from a disappointing effort here (2m4f) ten days ago but was in a consistent vein of form beforehand and is still on a workable mark. |
7/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Tough veteran who has won 11 races, four of them here (2m/2m4f); has been running well recently, second over 2m at Hexham last time (good); player. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

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 |

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 |

In a good yard and returns from wind surgery, but she was 50-1 for her handicap debut here in April and performed accordingly. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled in four novice/maiden hurdles last year and was beaten nearly 33l when 9-4 second favourite for last month's stable/handicap debut; needs significant improvement over this new trip but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Placed on bumper debut in 2024 for Fergal O'Brien; struggled in four novice/maiden hurdles for Max Young last year but makes stable/handicap debut off a lowly mark and it will be very interesting to see what Ben Pauling can do with him. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

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. |
4/1 |

1st 13 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Exposed multiple winner; he would have found the ground too soft when beaten by King Sacre at Hexham and then dug deep to win at Kelso (2m, good; 5lb lower); entitled to have some say. |
