15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Now in his fourth stable, for which he won a 2m handicap chase at Hexham in June; beaten 8l next time at Cartmel and he has form there; mark just okay but couldn't rule out as this isn't a strong race. |
7/2 |

10st 9lb |
Ended a losing run for his new yard in 2m handicap chase at Hexham in June and backed it up with a solid third of seven at Cartmel (2m1f) 26 days ago; in the mix again. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdle winner in late 2024 but pulled up on both starts (over fences/hurdles) since an absence; cheekpieces (worn on last three starts) are removed; others make more obvious appeal. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner (2m/2m3f, good) towards end of 2024; not yet fully exposed but returned from one-year absence with disappointing chase run in April and needs to get career back on track. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner who had her consistency rewarded with a 2.25l win at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) and the runner-up has since won at Haydock; a 7lb rise looks manageable. |
9/4 |

1st 6 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Point winner; still seeking the breakthrough under rules (0-9), her latest Catterick effort (2m; runner-up, 8-1, with Zumbi a well-beaten fourth) as good as what she offered at Sedgefield in November; place claims yet again. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both wins over fences came over C&D in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's generally struggled in the last 12 months and was last of seven over C&D (good) when last seen in May; plenty to prove and all of his wins have been on soft or heavy ground. |

11st 0lb |
Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) but ran poorly over 3m1f here on Saturday, after a five-month break, and will need to rebound quickly. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) but absent since below-par hurdle run in February and returns with rules strike-rate standing at 0-21. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner who has made the frame on all four starts since returning from a break in May, most recently when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month; has his limitations and is not getting any younger but ought to give another good account. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner who bounced back with a close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 11 days ago; 3lb higher here but he remains well treated on old form and all of his wins have been under Brian Hughes; key player. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
All three of his wins over fences have been gained here, including the last two editions of this race (soft and good ground); now 8lb lower after some lesser efforts but he went close off this mark here (about 3m1f; no headgear) last month and wasn't beaten far in cheekpieces behind Aill Dubh, Blazing Court and Path Of Stars over C&D two days later; headgear off again and he won't mind what the weather does; contender. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f); bounced back from two lacklustre efforts when staying on to go close here (3m1f, good; usual tongue-tie/blinkers left off) on Saturday and remains well handicapped but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again; wears cheekpieces for first time since 2024. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Had shown precious little over the preceding 12 months until turning a page with 40-1 second to Aill Dubh over C&D (good) last month; 1lb nudge for that fast-finishing neck defeat looks very fair but significant rain would cast a long shadow (has been a multiple non-runner due to soft conditions). |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Well handicapped on old form but failed to complete three consecutive races in April-June and was well beaten here (2m1f) on Saturday; difficult to enthuse over. |
33/1 |
Betting Forcast
100/30 Ghasham, 20/1 Achille Des Rocs, 4/1 Forcetoreckonwith, 6/1 Cuzco Du Mathan, 8/1 Wearelongterm, 3/1 Getaway Jewel, 8/1 Judicial Review, 14/1 Blazing Court
Verdict
Recent Worcester winner Getaway Jewel has placed form on soft/heavy ground but all his wins were gained on good and conditions may turn against him here. Forcetoreckonwith has good claims if ready to roll after his break and Ghasham (second choice) is also considered but CUZCO DU MATHAN will be strongly favoured by the forecast rain and, from a career-low mark, might bounce back to form and record a third C&D win.[Chris Wilson]
