7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Back on song in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (3m, good) in March, his third start for Caroline Fryer, and the form of his respectable fourth at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month was well advertised by the winner there on Monday; not yet fully exposed as a stayer; probably won't be far away. |

4th 7 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Returned to peak form in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago, his third start for Caroline Fryer; recent 4lb rise does not look excessive and he also has a course win on his CV; respected. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Two wins last year for Olly Murphy and those were on good ground; beaten 28l and 26l in two runs for current yard, though conditions were soft and good to soft; better can be expected here, though all his notable form is at about 2m4f. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all in small-field C&D (good) contest last month and now 2-2 since cheekpieces were added; another 4lb higher today but the headgear may unlock further improvement; likely contender. |
7/4 |

1st 2 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Probably showed career-best form when scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; 7lb rise asks quite a lot of her but this C&D also suits and the headgear may prompt further improvement; big player. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Fairly consistent in a good few handicaps until running below par last time when 3m1f shouldn't have been an issue, though good to soft might have been (seems best on good); wouldn't rule out in the new cheekpieces. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Consistent on the Flat/over hurdles this year, and deserved last month's narrow win at Plumpton (2m, good; only time he wore a visor); can remain very competitive after 3lb rise. |
7/4 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doubled his tally over hurdles when winning in a first-time visor at Plumpton last month but he was below his best back on the Flat at Goodwood (1m6f, good) 13 days ago; drops back down in grade with a place chance. |
9/4 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Running well on the AW in just a tongue-tie and has continued the good work over hurdles, finishing second (cheekpieces added) before a win 12 days ago (first-time visor); should have a part to play here. |

22nd Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
In fine form for local yard; won off 13lb lower over C&D (heavy) in November; career best off 103 when a 1.75l runner-up in a C&D Listed handicap hurdle in December, although form not working out so well; nudged up another 3lb but clearly loves it here and he's a huge player in this modest grade. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has very weak claims on Flat and hurdles form; apparent best effort doesn't look reliable; 6lb out of the weights on handicap debut; the least appealing contender. |
