23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won for the third time at this track, getting the better of Annie Agnew over 2m4f (good; 7-2 favourite) on penultimate start; however, had no answers to that reopposing rival (on revised terms) back here latest; dropping back to 2m is no real concern; highest on the shortlist. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Back in prime form here this summer, winning twice (2m/2m4f, good) under Murray Dodd; ought to make his presence felt again, despite career-high mark. |

1st 7 |
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. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won for the first time in three years, turning the tables on Follow Charlie (on revised terms) over 2m4f here (good) over a fortnight ago; a subsequent 5lb rise should bring that pair even closer together, with this shorter trip perhaps a slightly better fit for Follow Charlie. |

1st 6 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Yet to add to her juvenile hurdle win in 2023 but quite lightly raced in the meantime and was seemingly aided by first-time cheekpieces when second to Follow Charlie over C&D (good) last month; respected. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Sole win came in a juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (2m1f) in September 2023; runner-up over 2m here (handicap debut) in July 2024, but all downhill since; soundly beaten when last seen three months ago; needs the added cheekpieces to spark a major revival; focus elsewhere. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up in this last year (good to soft) and he arrives in pretty good heart having made the frame over C&D (good) on his last two outings; this 10yo has an each-way shout once more. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up in this last year, and again chased home Moonbow the following month; close fourth to Lets Mingle over C&D five weeks ago; is 2lb better off with that reopposing rival, and the 10lb claimer Ella McGarry takes over in the saddle; merits respect. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Hasn't had that much racing for a 10yo; enjoys this ground and has a solid record over C&D, so one to consider as he ran quite well last time at Bangor in a higher grade (finished last but weakened only late on). |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In fine form earlier this year, notching a hurdles hat-trick at Sedgefield (2m1f-2m4f; rising 16lb); reportedly stopped quickly when beaten favourite over 2m here (last of 12, beaten 42l) in June; it's possible that we might see the best version of this 6yo off a ten-week absence. |
13/2 |

12th 7 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Battled gamely for narrow 2m4f (good) course win in first-time cheekpieces in July but wasn't in same form over that trip on next two outings; up in grade today and not yet proven over this far under rules; not the percentage call. |
20/1 |

7th 1 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Battled gamely for narrow C&D (good) win in first-time cheekpieces in July but wasn't quite in same form when fifth behind Follow Charlie here last month and will need to find something extra today. |
8/1 |

5th 1 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Said to have drawn benefit from the application of cheekpieces when game C&D winner (16-1; Summergrounds a close fourth) five weeks ago; boasts a solid C&D record (1U31) so a 2lb rise in the handicap could be manageable; one of three for Russell & Scudamore. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Given his useful Flat form for Charlie Johnston he's been disappointing over hurdles (0-9), and was again well held last week at Kelso; 3lb lower in future. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner for Charlie Johnston (8.5f-12.5f); yet to score over hurdles (0-8) but continues to fall in the weights. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner for Charlie Johnston (8.5f-12.5f); yet to score over hurdles (0-7) but doesn't have a massive amount to find with Lets Mingle and Summergrounds based on their recent C&D clash; the task isn't an impossible one. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Her form has been mixed on the Flat and over hurdles this year and she's hasn't been at the top of her game over hurdles of late; however, she won this last year (soft) and shouldn't be discounted. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Gained all four hurdle wins over C&D; not at best this year and never really got competitive when tried over 2m4f here last month but wears a first-time tongue-tie and can't be ruled out off current mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four course wins (all over 2m); lacked the pace to challenge when third over that trip here (good; 4-1) early last month; finished down the field back on the Flat (1m2f) since; stablemate Follow Charlie has more to recommend. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Best of the rest behind Conquer The Breeze at Perth (2m, good) in July; he's better than he showed back at Perth last month but this 10yo is hard to win with and takes on two rivals who have been in excellent form. |
13/2 |
|
8th 6 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Infrequent winner (2-40); has plied his trade exclusively over fences since May 2024, lacking for fluency when runner-up to Conquer The Breeze here (2m) last month; monitor only, with Lets Mingle the pick of the Russell & Scudamore trio. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Better at this trip than the 2m4f over which he was third here ten days ago, but even when on a good day he's become extremely hard to win with (1-24 as a chaser and 2-39 overall); the clear plus is that he won this last year off 5lb higher. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won two chases in a row in late 2025 and she's 3lb below her last winning mark; however, she hasn't been at the same level on her three starts since and is just 1-24 over hurdles as opposed to 3-11 over fences. |
33/1 |

9th 8 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Better over fences than hurdles, notching back-to-back Musselburgh chase wins (2m4f) last November/December; tough task in Carlisle Class 2 (beaten 38l) when last seen 146 days ago; this should bring her on with a return to fences (rated 5lb higher) likely. |
