4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
11yo whose losing sequence is up to 18 races and his form has been mixed this season; however, there have been some bright performances this term; he might not be far away off another career-low mark if he's on a going day. |
10/1 |

8th 15 |
24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Veteran who sometimes builds up a big lead and is a ten-time hurdle winner; placed a few times this season (once over C&D) and ran well for a long way at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month but others appeal more all the same. |

4th 7 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Veteran who sometimes builds up a big lead and is a ten-time hurdle winner (good-soft); placed a few times this season but needs to better last couple of efforts and was safely held on both previous visits here. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from long absence with two respectable runs this spring (2m4f/2m7f); has a point to prove after a lesser effort last month but will be favoured by the forecast rain here and is Olly Murphy's only runner on the card; worth a second look. |
6/1 |

5th 2 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Has had only four races for Olly Murphy, the last two after a long absence; held his own in a 2m7f Worcester handicap last month won by the progressive Sunray Shadow who contests the previous race; fair shout off just 1lb higher. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Took a step forward on just his second run for Olly Murphy when landing 3m1f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in October 2024; went without his usual cheekpieces after 17 months off when a never-dangerous sixth in 2m4f Hexham handicap last month; can strip sharper now with headgear refitted. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Both wins were over 2m4f here; several good runs over 3m, and although not at his best behind The Longest Day last time, could bounce back. |

3rd 2 |
16th Jul 2023 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Frequent runner here, including for his only two wins; rallied to prevail close home over C&D (good) in May but ran a shocker back here three weeks ago; others appeal more at the weights even if he is back to his best and he has a bit more to prove if the ground is worse than good to soft. |

8th 9 (1) |
24th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Won over hurdles at Perth (2m4f, soft) last September but he's unseated and refused to race at that track in his two assignments this summer; overall record now stands at 1-27 and he has plenty to prove back on the Flat. |
