3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has been struggling for form since reappearing in October and offered little encouragement on April's return from just over two months off; has come a long way down in the weights and drops into a Class 5, but that's for good reason and he needs to turn things around. |
12/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
All three hurdle wins have come over C&D but he failed to beat a rival here in December and was tailed off again at Ffos Las in January; overall record is now 4-48 and others are preferred. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Veteran who is normally suited by Chepstow but failed to beat a rival back there last time; not particularly solid on his form this season. |

18th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |

raced lazily at times, in touch with leaders, mistake and jockey unbalanced 2nd, not fluent 5th, outpaced and lost position before 4 out, soon no impression, tailed off |

6th 1 |
15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-13 over hurdles and largely reliable, with no ground worries; won what was effectively a match on reappearance at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) in November and ran creditably at Warwick on sole start since; relatively exposed but firmly in calculations. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Up in class and up in trip (by some way) having never gone beyond an extended 3m; however, he's got low mileage as a chaser and won eased down last time at Carlisle (good to soft); handicapper saw fit to raise him 9lb for that but if his stamina reserves can stretch this far then he might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 |
17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (heavy/good to soft; including here) who scored at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago on his third chase start; led close home having been outpaced and today's stiffer test should be right up his street; firmly in calculations up 4lb. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Placed lots of times over hurdles but won only once in 24 attempts; hasn't been close to his best this season and he's not bred for fences. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-23 over hurdles, the win gained in 2023; out of form at around 2m this season but this longer trip might suit him better now and he has slipped to a very good mark; worth a glance in the betting. |

10th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated on her old form and her third at Ludlow in November on debut for this yard was mildly encouraging; however, heavy ground was no excuse when a long way below that form at Ffos Las a month ago. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 |
5th Jan 2023 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Left Olly Murphy after a flop over fences in May; took a step back in the right direction over hurdles at Ludlow in November, despite jumping to her right, and has since had a wind operation (had another one year earlier); well treated should she return to her best form, including on heavy going. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 |
30th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Three novice hurdle wins early in 2021 but chasing didn't really go to plan last season; has since left Olly Murphy and now makes her debut for her owner-trainer; first start over hurdles for 19 months and bit to prove. |

26th Feb 2023 Good 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Quite useful hurdler but not an immediate success over fences; in moderate form over hurdles for new yard but was tenacious, despite wandering, when hanging on to his lead in an ordinary beginners' chase at Leicester recently (2m, good); favourably treated on past hurdle form and might improve. |
5/2 |

20th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 170y |
11st 12lb |
Best known as a six-time winner on the Flat; overall hurdles form not very convincing; will need to pick up more chasing experience judged on first two attempts. |

27th Apr 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 40y |

Much better known as a six-time winner on the Flat; hurdles form not very convincing; only four runners in a weak event in which he was second at Warwick four weeks ago. |
