3rd 4 |
31st May 2023 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has been in good form this year, winning two of his four races (second in the other two), the latest at Newcastle earlier this month (2m7f, good; fourth has won since); up 4lb; chance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 |
16th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all three British wins over 3m3f at Sedgefield, the latest off 7lb lower in March; ran very well over that C&D last month and won't care what the weather does here, but is away from his happy hunting ground. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 |
14th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Triple C&D winner, including on soft; comfortable scorer last time, for which he has gone up 5lb; that form hasn't worked out well but he clearly relishes his visits here and is a big player. |

16th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
4-14 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Ayr (3m, good) in March; well beaten in series final at Musselburgh a few days later and remains on career-high mark but still enters calculations. |
8/1 |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Three most recent wins have come over 3m on soft and good, most recently returning to form at Ayr two weeks ago when he had to fend off persistent challengers; back up 4lb but respected for in-form yard. |
7/1 |
|
1st 2 |
10th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three times over hurdles last season (2m4f-3m) and posted career-best effort when close/clear second at Kelso (3m2f, soft) in November; flopped when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) last time and may need some rain. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Inconsistent and he was a mid-race faller in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Hexham a fortnight ago; however, prior to that he was a good third at Newcastle (2m7f, good) and is capable of being thereabouts. |

Yet to make any significant further progress since her winning handicap debut in March 2022 but ran well in defeat at Kelso (2m2f, good) last month, after a break, and is still quite lightly raced; tries a new trip here; good chance. |

6th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-23 over hurdles but went very close on stable debut here (2m4f, soft) in July and also ran well when third (albeit well held) at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August; drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; no surprise if he comes good for Olly Murphy soon. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-22 over hurdles but very nearly made a winning stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) six weeks ago and will be fine on the forecast faster ground here; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 13 |
17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

0-23 but surely has a race in him, and did record a respectable C&D third (soft) last November; wind surgery since claimed for £6,000 from David Thompson and starts life for Olly Murphy back on a career-low mark. |

All five wins have been on good ground, so the weather needs watching, but he also had that when pulled up over fences last time; on a useful mark if putting his best foot forward back over hurdles. |

16th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |

Ended last season with two fairly good efforts, more recently when third at Kelso (2m6f, good), but is seemingly on the downgrade now and some of the others have more appealing profiles. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 |
17th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
His best form has come over 2m4f+ so it was an encouraging return from wind surgery when not far away over 2m at Hexham (heavy); these conditions won't faze him and he's considered. |

Well backed when reverting to fences at Newcastle (2m7f, soft) in November and bounced back to form with a win; his inconsistent profile is a concern but he remains well treated back up 5lb and has won over C&D. |

16th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |

Slightly disappointing at Perth three weeks ago but was in good form beforehand, notably when winning at Musselburgh (3m, soft); also suited by this track and has a fighting chance if back on song. |
8/1 |

5th 5 |
26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Led late on to deny Red Missile in a 3m soft-ground handicap at Musselburgh in February and again finished ahead of that rival when fourth in a Class 2 on his return visit; having a solid season and likely to be in the mix. |
11/2 |

4th 13 |
24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
In good form back hurdling and although just a remote third behind runner-up Lock Down Luke over C&D in January he found a late spurt to deny Red Missile close home back here last month (soft); similar effort would see him involved. |

24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Something to prove regarding current form as she was a long way below her best over hurdles this winter; however, she's had a break and this strong stayer could prove suited by today's marathon test; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

5th 11 |
14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
