8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive over hurdles in 2024, winning three times, but missed 2025 and has been pulled up in two chases this year; combination of return to better ground and first-time cheekieces might aid a revival but others in this field have much less to prove. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Completed a hurdles hat-trick in 2024 but was then absent until achieving nothing switched to to chasing last month; had wind surgery since; difficult to ascertain exactly how much ability he retains. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In excellent form in second half of 2024, winning three good-ground handicap hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) in a row; also has form on slower ground and could quite plausibly have more improvement to come over fences at some stage but this chasing debut comes after a 458-day absence. |

Three runs over fences and progressing, winning by a length at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) after racing up with the pace; just 4lb higher here. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed over this sort of trip over hurdles in the autumn and began chasing career with two very respectable runs at Huntingdon (both 2m7f, good; behind Ann d'Arabie last time) this spring; on a workable mark and probably won't be far away. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 |
26th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up twice off today's mark over hurdles last year (2m5f/3m2f); only third-best on merit when modest second over C&D (good) on last month's chasing debut but that run came after a break and she may still have potential over fences. |

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 |

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. |

11st 7lb |
Has shown hurdling ability but finished well down the field when fitted with cheekpieces for last month's handicap debut and refused to race on her latest appearance 11 days ago (no headgear); others look much less risky. |

0-14 over hurdles but lost out only by a neck here (2m6f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in July and ran much better than bare form of 26l defeat might suggest at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last week; might be the answer. |

0-13 over hurdles for Tom Symonds, having signed off with two disappointing runs in the spring, but now 1lb lower than for creditable third of 13 at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in March; changed hands for £13,000 in May and it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with her. |
