18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Won twice on good ground this spring (2m7f/2m4f) and last month's close second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was a career-best performance; likely contender again here. |
7/1 |

2nd 3 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has returned from a short break in fine fettle and recorded back-to-back wins at Chepstow (2m7f, good) in April and Aintree (2m4f, good) last month; must have a good chance of landing the hat-trick here. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Found a warm Haydock class 2 stayers' handicap a step too far last month (22l last of nine), breaking a run of place finishes dating back to the autumn; races off her last winning mark back down in class. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won three consecutive small-field races in the autumn, the latest a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good), but has been well below par on his two subsequent starts, including at Market Rasen in May after a break; remains feasibly treated if the cheekpieces and tongue-tie prove a positive addition. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won three consecutive small-field races in the autumn, the latest a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good); absent since struggling on soft ground there in December but remains lightly raced and could plausibly still have more improvement to come. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual hurdle winner whose only win over fences (seven starts) came at the expense of two rivals at Newton Abbot in April 2025 (2m5f, good); last three runs, in particular, leave him with some questions to answer right now. |
20/1 |

5th 1 |
22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won a three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in April but beaten 61l when sixth of seven at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) five weeks ago; still 6lb higher than his last win and needs to return to form. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
All of his four hurdle wins have been at Stratford and latest was a front-running success over about 2m3f (good to firm) last month; remains feasibly treated off 3lb higher and this in-form 7yo is a major player on this drop back in trip. |
6/4 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
All three wins over hurdles have been over C&D; returned to form when beaten a neck over C&D (good) last month and filled the same position at Aintree (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; is a major force around here and must come into the reckoning. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Better chaser than hurdler and forgiven latest heavy defeat in a strong handicap; his last hurdle run was four starts back when beaten a neck at Wincanton (2m5f, good); could run well, though some stamina reservations over quite this far. |
13/2 |

10th 9 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Chase record is 9-35, the most recent win in veterans' event at Fakenham (3m, good) on penultimate start; consistent sort but faces a stiffer task off current mark in this valuable and competitive affair; similar type to Hold Your Fort. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time cheekpieces when close third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in March, her fourth run after a long layoff, but was disappointing favourite on next outing; goes without headgear here; needs to up her game. |
6/1 |

4th 2 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to match peak form since returning from long absence in the autumn but her third in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in late March was a pretty good effort, and she'll be fine on the forecast good ground here. |

Teenager who was useful in his prime and is well handicapped on form as recent as the autumn; returned from break with satisfactory run in June but was well beaten on only previous visit to Cartmel; younger rivals preferred. |
