5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Dual C&D chase winner (soft/good to soft) but has been relatively low key since back from a break; is at least dropping in the weights and a turnaround is not ruled out back at this course. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hereford maiden hurdle winner (April 2022); competing unsuccessfully in point-to-points since finishing a distant third at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) last November; others preferred. |

3rd 1 |
16th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdles winner who has finished runner-up in three of his five completed starts over fences, including when beaten a neck at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago (clear of the third); 4lb rise not the end of the world, though he still has to prove himself on soft ground or worse. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Overall chase record of 2-16; dug deep to win over a trip just shy of 3m at Lingfield (soft; 5lb lower) and 3m6f on heavy found him out at Exeter a month ago; may prefer softer ground in an ideal world but hard to rule out. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
2-2 on heavy going (one in Britain); first chase win was in France in 2022 and it was his 12th attempt in a British chase when he finally won one at Lingfield (extended 2m7f, soft) last month; back up 5lb for this first appearance beyond 3m1f, so others appear more solid. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Veteran who has looked on the downgrade in three chase runs for current yard; down in class for this return to hurdles but others look safer. |
20/1 |

5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Wins on ground ranging from good to soft; won both hurdle starts here much earlier in career and dual winning pointer in Ireland last spring; creditable debut for new yard at Lingfield in December but well below best when pulled up next time; aids left off; hard to assess. |

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. |

Won two small-field points in the spring and returned to racing under rules with three respectable runs under Osian Radford this summer/autumn; probably won't be far away but others appeal more all the same. |

10th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual course winner in 2022 (2m4f/2m6f) but has regressed and become inconsistent; didn't run badly in selling hurdle on Boxing Day (first-time blinkers) and is versatile regarding ground but younger rivals appeal more. |
10/1 |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won two handicap chases in March 2022 (2m4f, good/good to soft); some fair efforts over fences without winning since but below par after a break the last twice (beaten 34l at Hereford ten days ago); new headgear; looks stable second string. |
7/1 |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner who nearly made it four at Huntingdon in May (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces); bled when pulled up back there next time; effective in the reapplied cheekpieces and has a big run in him. |
12/1 |
