3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon. |

12st 0lb |
Comes into this in good form having won a novice hurdle over 2m4f on good ground at Newcastle in April and on chase debut at Southwell 13 days ago; still feasibly treated; contender. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Recently sold out of the Twiston-Davies yard for £27,000 and has since had a wind operation; failed to fire in two previous chases but ran well in his final race over hurdles, beating all bar a talented and revitalised winner; he's of obvious interest. |
7/4 |

2nd 2 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made winning handicap debut in Ireland in April 2025 but had disappointing campaign for new stable last season; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces here; needs to turn a corner. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-3 in French bumpers and 2-8 in British hurdles; ran big race from the front when third of ten at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month and could take some catching if she gets into a good rhythm on this chasing debut. |
100/30 |

3rd 2 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Has made a positive start for her current yard, scoring at Market Rasen (2m4f) in November and backing it up with a good second of 11 at Carlisle (2m1f) in February; well in the mix after a break with few miles on the clock. |

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. |
25/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Made the frame in his only two races at Cartmel; short-head win at Kelso (2m5f, good) five weeks ago, which seems his favourite track but he needs respect with that return to 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 |
