23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated on 2024 winning form for Olly Murphy; last-time 11l fourth at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) rates a best for his current yard, but he can't afford to repeat that day's constant jumping right. |

Dual 2m4f chase winner on testing ground; well treated on his form of 12 months ago when with Olly Murphy; needs to be much better than in his three starts so far for this trainer; has had wind surgery since last month's Wetherby appearance. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-11 over fences but he has the form to feature off this mark if ready to rock on his stable debut after a long absence; the market should be informative. |

Ex-Philip Hobbs/Johnson White; dual hurdle winner (including on testing ground) but yet to win over fences, although came close when head second at Wetherby in November (3m, good); fair efforts since; one to consider. |

Two chase wins wins at 2m1f (good to soft and soft) in early 2024; back on latest winning mark as a result of some lesser efforts, in cheekpieces last twice, but has something to prove at present. |

Point winner; 2-3 in handicap hurdles, most recently winning at Wincanton (2m4f) last Novermber; should make a chaser and looks open to further progress; interesting on reappearance. |

Three-time chase winner; just missed out at Uttoxeter in March (2m4f) and it was a Class 2 in which he couldn't land any real blow the last time; can cope with this mark and should go well in this easier race. |

Rebounded from poor performance and went down fighting when second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last month; up in grade and 2lb higher but ran very well over C&D on both previous visits to Chepstow, more notably when winning by 3l on good ground a year ago. |

10st 12lb |
Raced lazily before eventually staying on for third at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) last December and has been absent since a lesser effort in January but won when fresh in April 2023 and has slipped to a tempting mark; worth a second look. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in April 2023 and was a close second at Ludlow (2m5f, good) two months ago; however, he'd dropped to the rear when falling on last week's chase debut here (2m5f, good); Illogical Logic was skipping along merrily in the lead at the time so he probably has work to do. |

Lightly raced since sole success in a handicap hurdle more than two years ago; competitive this year over hurdles but rarely impresses with his jumping and this is his chase debut. |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

Displayed first glimmer of promise over hurdles when plugging on for modest fourth in 2m Southwell maiden in January; probably needs to improve again on today's handicap debut but is with a top stable and can't be ignored. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |

Big progress as hurdler initially last term (2m4f-3m) and also won handicaps when switched to chasing for first two starts this season (up to an extended 2m5f); 12-1 but unseated early for 3m Grade 1 novice at Kempton on Boxing Day (has similar Cheltenham entry); has a question to answer with new trip but, barring mishaps, best days are still ahead of him. |
