Back to form to win over C&D this month (good); creditable second on the Flat since; obvious contender. |

7th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
1m6f course winner who arrives on the back of a 2m4f handicap hurdle win on Saturday; went close over C&D when 2lb lower last September (career best RPR) and good claims if back at that level. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 193y |
11st 1lb |
Bolted up when losing her maiden tag at the 18th attempt in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last month; 11lb higher but that was a first start in 273 days so there's a chance she'll come on for the run; one to consider. |

1st 16 |
11th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 160y |
10st 4lb |
Long-standing maiden; extended hurdles record to 0-17 when last seen at Downpatrick last October; well-handicapped on some of her old form but a revival is needed. |
8/1 |

11th Oct 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 65y |

One of three in the race for Noel Kelly; encouraging run over 2m when fourth at Perth last month but failed to back that up at Fairyhouse on Monday; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

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 |
10st 3lb |
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. |

10st 2lb |
Put in fairly good front-running shift when fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) last month but was pulled up when last in action and his overall profile remains unappealing; cheekpieces back on today; 2lb out of the weights. |

23rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Took big step back in right direction and put in fairly good front-running shift when fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) three weeks ago but is effectively 4lb higher from out of the weights here and his overall profiles remains unappealing. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

12st 0lb |
Six chase wins, the latest here (1m7f, heavy) under Rian Corcoran 19 days ago; still on workable mark after recent 5lb rise and will be fine over today's longer trip but the faster ground is probably not in his favour. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up in his first two starts this season including a close call at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft), but his form cooled at Hereford last time; needs to step up again after that but he remains well treated on his old form. |

21st May 2024 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Gave a good account when runner-up at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft; same mark) in December but has failed to stake any kind of claim at Sedgefield or Southwell subsequently; the percentage call is to focus on less-exposed rivals. |

Last effort of note was when winning on heavy ground at Hexham (2m4f) just over a year ago; perhaps went off too fast there last time (especially over 2m7f; good to soft) but current wellbeing looks an issue. |

Won a 2m4f handicap here last April but things have fallen apart in just three runs since (form figures of U0P); showed signs of being in season when pulled up at Newcastle last month but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and both wins have been in the mud; down the list. |

Fair stayer on the Flat for Ralph Beckett last year (albeit a maiden) but hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles for new stable this year; pulled up in 2m4f Hexham handicap three weeks ago and effectively on same mark from out of the weights here. |
