9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over hurdles for Olly Murphy in 2023 but has lost his way and was tailed off over C&D (soft a possible excuse) last month after a long absence. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Won over hurdles for a different stable in summer 2023 but was badly out of form on the Flat for this yard last year and returns from 446-day absence with a lot to prove. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has bits of placed form on Flat and over hurdles, including in C&D contest in April; losing run remains the negative, as he is 0-13 since winning a bumper on debut. |
20/1 |
|
11 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has only won a bumper; placed at about 1m3f at Lingfield (good to firm) and here (heavy) before losing his action and pulling up 17 days ago; should run well if back in good order. |
8/1 |
|
2 (13) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Bumper winner who was placed on the last two of his five Flat starts, more recently when third in handicap here (11.6f, heavy) ten days ago; could easily have more to offer over today's longer trip; big player. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made all for clearcut success at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December, her sixth start over hurdles, and again ran well before fading into fourth at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) ten days ago; likely contender. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up on the Flat and over hurdles in the autumn (including on soft ground) before getting off the mark at the 19th attempt (her sixth run over hurdles) at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last month; made all by 4l under Aaron Anderson and she's respected up 7lb. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot. |
4/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
In-form mare whose record at Bath features wins in 2024/2025 and a couple of second-place finishes (over 11.6f/1m2f) since returned to turf from AW, the penultimate occasion behind Moon Over The Sea; weighted to reverse the placings; good chance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Below her best on the AW this winter but she returned to some form when runner-up here at around 1m4f on Monday; that was her first start for 77 days and this dual course winner should have no issue with the drop back in trip. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inclined to pull hard in this headgear combination for the first time on his comeback and that was a solid effort all things considered (Nymphaea fourth); always the danger he'll do the same under Hope Regan (0-16) but claims if settling. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 11 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Just one win from 17 starts but he reached the frame on numerous occasions over 2m/2m1f in July-October last year; ended 2025 on a low note but he's well handicapped on his best form and needs watching in market after five months off. |
7/1 |
|
6 (9) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Inconsistent 22-race maiden but he has form over C&D and was runner-up over 1m6f here (soft) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can get back near that level and he seems versatile ground-wise. |
4/1 |
|
6 (6) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No threat to Rupert The Prince when second here (1m6f, soft) ten days ago and now 0-21 but that still goes down as a good effort and he'll be fine over today's longer trip; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 11 (14) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-20; made the frame in five of his seven turf starts this season, including twice at this track; there was a lesser show when the ground went good to soft on latest outing but each-way contender if that was a blip. |

17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times (once from rear, twice making all) at up to 2m last term on the Flat for Paddy Butler; remote this year in his two hurdle races (three-runner race last time) but he was a fair third over C&D (a head behind No More Bolero) in between and peak form gives him a good shout. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Won three times at up to 2m on the Flat for Paddy Butler; bought for 36,000gns in October; third in a 2m handicap at Ripon 11 days ago having disappointed in a Newcastle maiden hurdle on jumps debut in January (2m1f, good to soft; cheekpieces on instead of visor); visor back on, this longer trip should suit, and improvement likely. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won three of his last five Flat runs for Paddy Butler, including a clearcut success at Bath (2m1f, soft) in October; no impact on hurdle debut for new yard in January but could fare a lot better back on the Flat. |

Runner-up on consecutive AW starts (1m3f) in February 2024 but lightly raced since and she's struggled for current stable; record is now 0-13 and she has a lot to prove after 193 days off. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Runner-up on consecutive 1m3f AW starts in February 2024 but lightly raced and disappointing for current stable since last spring; looks too risky on this first venture beyond 1m6f. |

Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; soundly beaten over 2m1f here yesterday, though, and will probably find this race too competitive. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

9st 3lb |
Won two in a row on the Flat (2m1f/2m, soft) last autumn and running well when falling three out on hurdle debut in December; always in rear back on the Flat last month but that came after a 109-day break and she could leave than run behind this afternoon. |

Won her last two Flat starts in the autumn (2m1f/2m, soft) and she was running well when falling three out on her hurdle debut at Fontwell in December; this is her first run since and she's struggled on AW previously, but she could be a different proposition now; wears first-time hood; could go well. |

Safely held over 1m4f in first two handicaps (including AW) and heavy defeat when upped to 1m6f last month; should appreciate this first classified but has a bit to prove now; tongue-tie and visor replace cheekpieces. |
