Ex-Olly Murphy; off the mark for present yard when winning five-runner handicap chase by a short head at Fontwell last time (3m2f, good); up 3lb; interesting. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All four wins have came over fences Andy Irvine; her last success was in January 2024 but that was at this track (3m3f) and she returned to form with a creditable third over hurdles here (3m2f, soft) last month; that was only her second start since rejoining her former stable and she's in the mix back over fences. |

All four wins have came over fences for Andy Irvine; had no joy in three starts for Olly Murphy and rejoined former stable before pulling up at Exeter (3m6f, heavy) last month; bids to exploit 10lb lower mark over hurdles; needs to show more. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Became disappointing for Harry Fry; competitive form over hurdles and fences for current yard but he bled three runs back and couldn't hang in there at Exeter (2m3f, good) last time; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-8 over fences and is untried at this trip. |

Became disappointing for Harry Fry but has performed respectably over hurdles and fences for current yard; bled when he failed to give his running last time in a handicap chase; won't mind returning to this trip. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Went chasing late in her career but she's making a good fist of it and was going best from some way out when winning at Exeter (3m, good) in March; no blame attached for defeat next time and she didn't appreciate the 3m2f trip at Fontwell recently; a sharp 3m should suit; close up. |
11/4 |

3rd 7 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough over fences with 10l win at Exeter (3m, good) last month; was beaten by 10l when third of four at Plumpton (3m2f) last time but that was behind two progressive 6yos and her jockey went for home a circuit too soon; still has potential as a staying chaser and she's in the mix off same mark as last time. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
1-10 over hurdles and now 1-6 as a chaser after drawing clear for a 10l success at Exeter (3m, good); raised 7lb for winning that weak contest but there's no depth to this, either. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed back-to-back wins at Hereford over 3m1f on good this spring; found out in a higher grade twice since but back at his winning level and should run his race. |

3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Record of 3-13 over fences; 2-2 over C&D, namely good-ground wins this spring; below par at Fontwell in hat-trick attempt but has possibilities back here; admittedly yet to score above Class 5. |
13/2 |
|
4th 6 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
8yo who has been resurgent with wins at Hereford (3m1f, good) in his last two starts; 3lb higher than last time but he stayed on strongly to beat a clear second and remains well handicapped on his best form; key player. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences, at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month but below his best at Fontwell since; is the type to bounce back and he should get the trip (has won over 3m2f). |
5/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive 7yo who has form figures of 1221141 over fences since September; only two completed when he scored at Market Rasen (3m, good) 19 days ago but he still looks on a workable mark and his first chase win was over C&D; strongly respected. |
7/2 |

1st 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form on good ground in the autumn, winning three times over fences (3m1f-3m2f); well behind Dangerous Touch when reappearing in four-runner race at Huntingdon last month but might have needed that outing and his usual cheekpieces are refitted here. |
