1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has several pieces of placed form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard but his losing sequence is mounting up; not the percentage call in this competitive affair. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (5) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up on stable debut at Musselburgh (2m, good) in July and he's fine on testing ground; however, this 9yo has failed to threaten on his last two outings and needs something extra today. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three Flat races at up to 1m7f when trained in France (including on heavy) and has since won three times over hurdles for Amy Murphy; good second on stable debut at Musselburgh in July (2m, good) but lesser run last time (2m1f, good to soft); each-way chance. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) in July; 5lb higher in a stronger ace here but arguably posted her career-best Flat performance when winning at Brighton a fortnight ago and is evidently in good nick. |
4/1 |
|
11 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won here (11.6f, firm) in May and over hurdles in July; runner-up on last two appearances, losing out only by a head over C&D (good) 11 days ago, but moves up from 0-55 grade today and might be vulnerable. |

1st 8 (4) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in May and good third on the Flat at Bath (2m1f, good) in June; well-beaten fifth of 12 at Chester (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago but may have been unsuited by the tight track and today's test of stamina could be right up his street. |
9/2 |
|
5th 12 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
C&D winner on heavy ground in 2024 off an 18lb higher mark than today's and he gained his first success over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May; ran a solid race when third of eight at Bath (2m1f, good) three months ago and makes plenty of appeal. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-5 over hurdles but seemed suited by the new trip when runner-up over C&D (good) in April; should not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Has lots of form under Henry Main, notably two wins in 2021; three-year losing spell is a big negative but current mark is attractive; not ruled out. |

5th May 2024 Heavy 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Ended last year in poor form over hurdles and was again well beaten when returned to the Flat in February (1m4f, AW): needs subsequent wind op to have made a massive difference; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |

Placed at huge odds in 1m2f Leicester novice last summer but well down the field in first two handicaps (1m3f/1m2f), latterly on seasonal debut three weeks ago; moves up in trip today. |

Ex-Irish maiden; pulled up over hurdles on stable debut and neither Flat run since suggests he's the one to be on here. |
