4/1
Fairly useful Flat winner who came good over hurdles in a C&D handicap last July. Another solid C&D effort when third of 10 last month. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Resumed his progress when a very good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (21f, good) in May. Ran out at Kelso next time but confirmed he's still in form when fourth at Perth (2½m, good to soft) last month. Just as effective over shorter trips.

Has largely struggled since joining this yard and needs first-time blinkers to spark a revival. Could only consider if backed.

Flat winner for Kevin Ryan and made successful hurdle debut for current connections at Catterick (2m) in November. Good third under a penalty there the following month. Has struggled to make an impact on the Flat this summer but a potential improver in his first handicap hurdle.

Reached the frame in handicap hurdles in the spring, including C&D, but he needs to bounce back from a tame effort at Hexham last month.

Course winner who stopped the slide on the back of yet another breathing operation over fences here on Saturday, faring better than his fellow pacesetter. Back over hurdles on a tempting mark.

Finished in the first 3 in a trio of bumpers. No show in maiden hurdles but no surprise were he to prove a different proposition in handicaps. One to keep a close eye on in the betting.

Well held on recent return from a long absence at Bangor. Entitled to strip fitter for the run but can still only be watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Struck over fences here last month and wasted no time getting back on track reverted to them when second on Saturday, just unlucky to bump into a much-improved rival (Restandbethankful third). One to note back hurdling.

Regressive maiden on the Flat and well held in 4 outings over hurdles, including Market Rasen handicap debut/reappearance 7 weeks ago. First-time blinkers need to make a difference.

Long-standing maiden. Probably failed to stay 23f when a well-held fourth at Hexham last month and now takes a significant drop back in trip with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

13:42 Cartmel - 21 July 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

LIGHTENING COMPANY is probably the most solid option in a race where plenty arrive with something to prove. Game Management has found life hard on the Flat this summer but made a positive start to his hurdle career at the end of 2024 and rates a potential improver in his first handicap hurdle. Drumlee Myth is another going handicap hurdling for the first time and has scope from his mark judged on bumper ability. He's one to monitor closely in the betting.
