27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who won Worcester maiden (2m, good) on stable debut in July and was respectable third of six from out of the weights in Perth handicap (2m, good) last month; effectively 4lb lower from correct mark here and promising conditional Lewis Sanuders claims a useful 7lb; could have a say. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ordinary Flat winner in Ireland and was 0-21 there over jumps (including 12 defeats over fences); came good on yard debut in a maiden at Worcester (in none of the aids he sported for former connections) and could build on that; 3lb wrong at the weights. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1-35 under all codes when based in Ireland, the win gained on the Flat in 2022; placed in a low-grade handicap chase this spring and the pick of his 2023 hurdling form gives him a good chance on these terms; interesting to see what Olly Murphy can do with him. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Irish point winner who went close on hurdling debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in May and also ran a big race when second at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) last month; drops back in trip here; major player. |
5/2 |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Irish point winner who made the frame in both bumpers this spring and went close on subsequent hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; front pair clear); very likely to be suited by this step up in trip; good chance. |

28th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

All runs on good ground; winning pointer; runner-up in a Plumpton bumper on her return from a long absence but then failed favourite backers at Fakenham when behind Last Note; had no excuses from the front that day but perhaps she was off colour. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
A bumper winner for Henry Daly in October 2024, he ran his best race over hurdles when beaten half a length at Taunton (2m, good) last month following a six-month break; looks sure to pay his way in the coming months and holds claims. |
9/2 |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Debut bumper scorer who was shaping up well over hurdles until coming in a below-par third of 12 in 2m Stratford novice in September; off since but no surprise if he took a step forward now going handicapping for shrewd yard. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed promise in two Irish bumpers during the winter (good to yielding/heavy) and subsequent defeat at Punchestown festival is not viewed too harshly; probably best watched on this stable/hurdle debut, though; tongue-tie fitted. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Limited Flat maiden who also ran to a modest level in three races over hurdles; didn't get far on chase debut last month; best watched. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Modest Flat maiden; has shown some aptitude for hurdling this year but last month's fourth of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good) came in a very thin maiden; now bids to exploit 9lb weight-for-age allowance on chasing debut. |
14/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Modest form in his previous two maiden hurdles and made it 0-12 on the Flat when tailed off in a 1m3f seller at Goodwood four weeks ago (good to firm; 100-1); readily opposed. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
1-6 over hurdles, the win gained in a three-runner Sedgefield maiden (2m1f, good) in October; ran well before fading into fifth on last month's handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f, good) and has some slow-ground pointing experience to call upon on this chasing debut. |

Runner-up at Perth (2m, good to soft) in September following wind surgery then easily went one better in three-runner maiden at Sedgefield (2m1f, good); things seems to have clicked and he could continue to progress; key player under penalty. |

Not as far out of the weights as when an outpaced fifth on this month's handicap debut, and the longer trip may prove a plus; still a lot to find with the best of these, however; cheekpieces already discarded. |

Spring and summer's clutch of frame finishes were gained around far more galloping tracks over 2m-2m4f; wheels have really come off since, and hard to be confident the return to a stayers' trip will arrest the decline. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up on handicap debut for Nicky Henderson at Worcester (2m, good) in May and pulled well clear of the third when filling same position in maiden over that C&D for new stable in June but has suffered a worrying slump in form since; needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces here. |
