Kendal Caravans Cartmel Cup Handicap Hurdle

Won 3 times in 2022/23 season. Ran creditably on his reappearance at Huntingdon last season but has been disappointing subsequently. making little impression back over 20.6f at Market Rasen a month ago. Hopes rest on a tongue tie coupled with drop in grade.

Scored twice within the space of 5 days at Hexham and Kelso in May and ran right up to form when finding only Ashington too good over C&D a month ago. Repeat of that will see him on the premises again.

French import who made it 2-4 for Harry Derham when landing a 5-runner juvenile event in decisive fashion at Kelso (16.2f, soft) in March. Heavy defeat on handicap debut a month later and left that yard after, but new stable can boast a really good record at this venue.

Finally capitalised on a falling mark when seeing off a couple of these in 11-runner C&D contest last month. Creditable effort back on the level since and 5 lb higher mark back over hurdles still leaves him competitive.

Three-time winner on the Flat and enjoyed a good summer over hurdles in 2023. completing the hat-trick over this C&D. Several sound efforts on the level since so fitness assured and this mark is within range.

Fair hurdler who is going the right way, supplementing his handicap success in novice company at Worcester in June. Similar form when fourth under a penalty but revised mark asks for more.

Three handicap wins in a productive 2023/24 campaign, latest of them at Sedgefield in January. Into his shell for a spell afterwards but a break may have revived her.

Notched 3 wins in the first half of last season and has enhanced his strike rate further this summer, adding a couple more to his tally, including last-time-out at Uttoxeter. On the shortlist.

Gained sole win in a Uttoxeter handicap last summer. Off 7 months and yet to find his form this summer.

Strong in the market and suited by the step back up in trip when scoring comfortably over hurdles at Market Rasen in June. Better than the bare result back there next time and while chase effort last time wasn't as good, he's better over the smaller obstacles.

Three-time C&D winner, latest of them in June. Creditable 4¾ lengths third of 11 to Ashington back here and he enters calculations again.

C&D winner in June 2022 but mixed bag since, fading out of it fitted with a visor against a few of these here last month.
