4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Fast-improving 8yo when he won four times this summer, including at this track, and he ran respectably when fifth of 11 in Class 2 at Perth ten days ago; tongued tied on last two outings; may need to resume his improvement but he stays and will probably be bang there. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Fast-improving 8yo who scored at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month and has now won four of his last five; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive; commands respect. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
In excellent form this season, winning three times on good ground (2m4f-2m7f; once here); last month's clear second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was another career best but he's 5lb higher today and the forecast rain is a likely negative; goes beyond about 3m for first time; tongue-tie added. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
2-8 over hurdles for the Philip Hobbs-Johnson White stable and, following a wind op, chased home progressive rival on last month's stable debut at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft); makes chasing debut from the same mark; contender if he finds some fluency. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
2-8 over hurdles for the Philip Hobbs-Johnson White stable, with both wins gained at Exeter (2m5f/2m7f); sold for £22,000 after below-par run in May and was given a wind op soon afterwards; seems versatile regarding ground; market helpful before this stable debut. |
10/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; won his first handicap at Exeter in March when beating a shorter-priced, in-form stable companion by a short head (3m, good); now 4lb higher and could go well, but lacks consistency. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Five-time hurdle winner; scored on the Flat in July and returned to this discipline with pretty good third behind Divilabother at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft) last month; each-way claims at least. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Well held when fourth over C&D on latest hurdling start but previously caught the eye when finishing strongly for close third in competitive race at Haydock (3m, good; first-time visor) and has since won on the Flat; raced mainly on good ground but was once placed on heavy on the Flat; shortlisted. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over hurdles since last seen on the Flat, going almost two stone up the weights; withdrawn on account of unsuitable (good to firm) ground last summer, which would be a concern, but she's much better treated on the Flat now. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Returned to form with 16-1 win at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in March and is still on a workable mark after a 3lb rise; not sure to be in the same mood on first start for 167 days but ran quite well on only previous visit to Cartmel. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at Warwick in January last time but was in pretty good heart towards the end of last year and he's now 1lb lower than when winning at Haydock (3m, good) last March; also handles soft; capable of going well. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Haydock win over a similar trip last March; does have a lot of weight though and was only fifth at Haydock last time, finishing just behind Gwennie May Star. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Soundly beaten at Cartmel three weeks ago but the ground (good to soft, soft in places) may have been slower than ideal; in good heart there previously, posting a win (2m6f, good) and a creditable third (2m6f, good), and she's capable of having a big say. |
5/1 |

5th 7 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Returned from layoff with comfortable win here (2m6f) in June and was creditable third in competitive race over that trip here (also good) in July; respected on that evidence and stays this longer distance but significant rain will reduce her appeal. |
100/30 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Returned from eight-month break in excellent form three weeks ago, winning comfortably by 10l over C&D (good); 8lb higher in higher-grade race today but still considered. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has a decent strike-rate, but below par since winning off a 10lb higher mark at Cartmel in August 2025 (3m1f, good; third course win); visor now tried (usually wears cheekpieces). |
11/1 |

6th 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Three-time course winner including this race off a 6lb higher mark a year ago; effective on good and soft ground but has looked badly out of sorts on all three appearances (one over C&D) this season and needs a revival. |
14/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Happiest hunting ground is Cartmel, but a record of 225244P around today's C&D includes a neck second in this race in 2024 off 5lb lower, with Well Educated 23l behind; miles off his best in one start apiece at each of these venues so far this term, however. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from long absence with two respectable runs this spring (2m4f/2m7f); has a point to prove after a lesser effort last month but will be favoured by the forecast rain here and is Olly Murphy's only runner on the card; worth a second look. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Has had only four races for Olly Murphy, the last two after a long absence; held his own in a 2m7f Worcester handicap last month won by the progressive Sunray Shadow who contests the previous race; fair shout off just 1lb higher. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Took a step forward on just his second run for Olly Murphy when landing 3m1f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in October 2024; went without his usual cheekpieces after 17 months off when a never-dangerous sixth in 2m4f Hexham handicap last month; can strip sharper now with headgear refitted. |
