15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Promise in bumpers; low key over hurdles until showing fine attitude when scoring at Cartmel (2m6f, good; 14-1) four weeks ago; that breakthrough win came after a year off so there's potentially more to come; 4lb rise seems fair so should be thereabouts. |

1st 8 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed in all three bumpers last year in 2024; did not show a great deal over hurdles last year but had soft ground as a plausible excuse when tailed off here (2m1f) on handicap debut a year ago; tries a new trip on this first start since; worth a glance in the betting. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in all three bumpers last year; did not get competitive in first three hurdle races but his fifth at Perth (2m, good) in May was more encouraging and he's open to significant further progress in handicaps. |

2nd 6 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle starts; not disgraced when fourth of seven over about 2m6f (if additional yardage is included) at Market Rasen (good) last month, though, and may yet have a bigger run in him. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden; returning from a near five-month absence when finishing a weakening fifth of ten to Banderas at Hexham (2m4f, good; 22-1) 24 days ago; now 3lb lower but in need of sharp improvement. |
16/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Has hinted at ability but he finished a remote last in December on handicap debut at Catterick (2m4f, good), which leaves him with plenty to prove. |

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. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including last two editions of this race; would appeal sightly more on ground slower than good but his fourth here (3m1f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and his well-held fifth over C&D last month came in a much stronger race than this; high on the list. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score here (2m6f, good) in June; managed only fourth (just behind Secret Secret) off new mark here last month but might have untapped potential over this new trip. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score over C&D (good) last month; hiked up 10lb for that and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but still an obvious one to consider. |
5/2 |

1st 10 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has shown bits of form that give him claims, such as when third at Perth (2m4f, good) in April, but pulled up at Hexham (2m7f, good) last month; his mark continues to fall but he needs to show more consistency. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Alan King, with new yard this year; overall 0-7 over hurdles and 1-22 on the Flat; return to this sphere over 1m4f here (20-1) three weeks ago wasn't greatly persuasive but he is well down the weights. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Nearly won over hurdles in May but two lesser runs followed and now 0-7 in that scene, while he's only 1-21 on the Flat (for Alan King); on a useful mark but probably not as good as he was, and he's unraced at Chester. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat; back over hurdles for new stable this season, with by far the best of three runs a close second at Warwick (2m, good) two starts ago; pulled up over 2m1f since and not easy to predict over this new trip. |

Won over 2m1f (good) here last summer and was second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); back down to a tempting mark now but has not been operating at the same level this year; needs change of headgear to perk him up. |

Won over 2m1f (good) here last summer and was second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); not at same level this year (four runs) and was tailed off last time (2m1f) but can't be ruled out off current mark. |

Consistent in defeat last autumn and winter (2m3f-2m4f) but well below best since returning from three-month break this spring (three runs), and was pulled up over C&D on only previous visit here. |

Consistent without winning last autumn and winter, but checked out tamely behind Lady Fortune on last month's return here (2m6f, good); mixed record of seeing out stayers' trips, an Irish point win notwithstanding. |

0-9 in points and 0-7 under rules; tailed off on last month's chasing debut (1m7f), after a break, and now reverts to hurdling in new headgear; 9lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

One second place from nine otherwise mostly poor efforts in Irish points, and operating below a winning level over hurdles back in the autumn; limited appeal on chase debut from 7lb out of the weights. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden Irish pointer who was well beaten in three Cartmel novice hurdles (2m1f-2m6f) this summer; still very unexposed under rules but needs major improvement on this handicap debut; 2lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |
