11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Enjoyed a revival when fitted with cheekpieces towards end of last year, winning by wide margin at Southwell (2m, good) before creditable seconds at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) and Cheltenham (2m4f, good); major player if returning from two-month break in similar form. |

Improved form with cheekpieces applied the last twice, winning at Southwell then second at Chepstow, both over 2m; worth another go at 2m4f; open to further progress over fences and in the retained headgear. |

Ultimately disappointing for Olly Murphy and there has been no significant upturn in his fortunes since he joined this stable; blinkers are given a go. |

11st 4lb |
Became disappointing for Olly Murphy and there has been no significant upturn in his fortunes since he joined this stable in the autumn (three runs); continues to slide down the weights but is not the obvious answer. |

5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/2m novice hurdle winner for previous yard but he wasn't the same force for them after an absence and well held in handicap chases for these connections; is one to watch back up in trip. |

led, headed and raced in second after 4f, pushed along and lost position from 5f out, soon dropped to rear and beaten, eased from 2f out, tailed off |

1st Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner at Fontwell on debut in September 2021 (2m, good); hasn't won again and was well beaten on chase debut here last time (2m, good); more needed. |
14/1 |

11th Nov 2022 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won against own age group on hurdling debut in September 2021 but returned from break with two heavy defeats this autumn and is 3lb out of the weights for this chasing debut; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today. |

Back from an absence with two good runs in 2m handicaps and found no rhythm after an early mistake at Sedgefield last time; forgive him that and a case can be made. |

8th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
His jumping lacked fluency and he was tailed off on last month's chase and stable debut at Southwell; however, he was sent off joint-favourite and it will be interesting to see if this very lightly raced 6yo attracts market support now back over hurdles; he's one to consider. |
8/1 |

11th Nov 2022 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up over 3m on hurdle debut in Ireland in March 2021 but his two 2m runs for Stuart Coltherd last season were much more encouraging; makes chase/handicap debut after 258-day absence but market support will make him of strong interest; tongue-tie removed; hood added. |
3/1 |
