28th Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Revitalised by the cheekpieces last season, completing a quickfire heavy-ground hat-trick in March (getting the better on Camp Belan in the last of those), all at around 3m, but signed off the campaign on a low note; only 4lb higher than his most recent win but needs to have been freshened up from the break and the cheekpieces are missing here. |

10st 5lb |
Form figures of 2111 after the cheekpieces went on, showing a liking for 3m on soft or heavy ground; might be on a tough mark now (not even taking into account being 3lb out of the weights) and he ran no race last time at Carlisle. |

29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Maiden; twice runner-up over hurdles this season (soft/heavy); didn't jump with enough zip on recent chasing debut and faded out of contention; may do better with that experience behind him but will need to. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Modest form pointing in 2020; not particularly consistent over hurdles, but has shown his best form on testing ground so could go well in these conditions on his first run 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 |
10st 11lb |
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 |

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. |

Scored over fences on stable debut in August and has remained in good form since (albeit suffered early mishap last time); likely to give another good account off his lower hurdle mark here. |

Runner-up in this event 12 months ago but he's yet to hit top form this term and came in a well-held sixth back hurdling in 2m4f Ayr handicap last month; still can't be totally discounted returning here off a reduced mark. |

1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten towards the end of 2022 in her first two handicaps (2m5f/2m6f); hard to fancy on that evidence but it's still early days and she hinted at staying promise in a bumper (here) and a novice hurdle; there's potential in her pedigree and she's not written off. |

4th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |

Placed in a bumper in the spring but has made underwhelming start to her hurdling career; well down the field when upped to 2m5f for handicap debut here (good) in October and needs subsequent wind op (her third) to have made a big difference. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 5 |

0-11 and inconsistent form; one of his better efforts when third of six at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) last time, so not totally dismissed. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |

Inconsistent maiden who took his record to 0-10 with a poor effort last time; however, this new trip may well suit, judged on the way he shaped two starts ago. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-7 over hurdles; stayed on for fourth when upped to 3m1f at Carlisle (good to soft) last month and has the services of Brian Hughes today but needs to find something extra to get a win on the board. |
