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. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Returned to form with creditable second at Taunton (2m, good) last month, his third start for David Brace, but was pulled up on recent chasing debut and has become hard to predict. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but had been badly out of sorts prior to his second at Taunton (2m, good) last month; now switches to fences and needs to build on that revival, though he remains attractively treated on old form. |

Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but has struggled for form since, including on both starts for this stable; latest C&D effort offered a glimmer of encouragement and he's well treated on old form, but he needs another step forward today. |

Well beaten a massive odds on all five hurdling starts (including a seller); out of the weights for this handicap debut and very difficult to enthuse over; hood removed after one use. |

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. |
