Won two selling hurdles for Olly Murphy last season but struggled (albeit on heavy ground) in two handicaps for new stable in February and returns from ten-month break with a lot to prove. |

Competitive at plating level this winter for Olly Murphy, winning two sellers; heavy ground was no excuse last week when tailed off in a handicap on stable debut; blinkers return in place of cheekpieces but he's 3lb lower in future. |

In April last year he won a Fakenham handicap off 4lb higher but there's been nothing positive to take out of his last four races. |

30th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won off 1lb higher over C&D (good) for the Newland/Insole stable in April but both runs for John and Rhys Flint this season were very disappointing and he was tailed off for latest new trainer this month; the return to this track is a big plus but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |

11st 8lb |
In the frame all four hurdling starts, the last twice in good-ground handicaps this spring (2m2f/2m6f); drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; might still have a bigger run in him. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

This longer trip is worth a go after staying on over 2m2f at Newton Abbot 12 days ago (good) but he looks vulnerable to something better handicapped. |

20th May 2024 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Made underwhelming stable/hurdle debut when well-held third in a seller in January, but last month's keeping-on second at Chepstow (2m, good) was much better and he's open to further progress in handicaps. |

This Flat winner showed some aptitude for hurdling when third in two novice events at Worcester (2m, good) in the summer; should stay this longer trip and may have some untapped potential on handicap debut. |

Inconsistent maiden who suffered a heavy defeat at Hereford switched to fences most recently; chance depends on whether he improves for first-time hood. |

Has some ability but failed to make a serious impact in his three bumpers and four hurdle races, the latest his handicap debut at this track (2m4f, good) when tongue tied first time; needs better on this chase debut. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Asserted readily on run-in at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday and is now 2-3 for Nick Scholfield; effectively only 6lb higher under 7lb penalty here and won't mind the forecast rain; respected in current mood. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Won twice for Paddy Butler in the spring of 2024 on soft; made an immediate impact when scoring for the first time since at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) last month on stable debut in returning cheekpieces (retained since); not disgraced when runner-up back there on Saturday and remains in decent form; claims. |

Returned to form with a C&D win on last month's debut for Nick Scholfield, having a few of these in behind and scoring a shade cosily; remains well treated despite a 5lb rise and is the one to beat if backing up that effort. |

9st 8lb |
Well treated on her second in a Down Royal handicap (1m5f, good) in July 2022 but she's not seen much action since and has struggled over hurdles for her current yard; still relatively lightly raced but she comes with risks attached back in this sphere; tongue-tie added. |

10st 13lb |
Contested a competitive Class 2 on penultimate start and that was only eight days after winning at Hexham; did it comfortably last time at Southwell (3m, good) and she looks progressive all of a sudden; up 8lb but William Maggs takes away 5lb of that. |

Battled well to open account at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) last month, her tenth hurdling start, and not beaten far when seventh in a competitive series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) a week later; 5lb higher now but still considered. |
