9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Olly Murphy; off the mark for present yard when winning five-runner handicap chase by a short head at Fontwell last time (3m2f, good); up 3lb; interesting. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All four wins have came over fences Andy Irvine; her last success was in January 2024 but that was at this track (3m3f) and she returned to form with a creditable third over hurdles here (3m2f, soft) last month; that was only her second start since rejoining her former stable and she's in the mix back over fences. |

All four wins have came over fences for Andy Irvine; had no joy in three starts for Olly Murphy and rejoined former stable before pulling up at Exeter (3m6f, heavy) last month; bids to exploit 10lb lower mark over hurdles; needs to show more. |

12st 0lb |
10lb higher than when taking this race 12 months ago but won again here on Boxing Day off this mark; not the most consistent of mares but she's dangerous to discount given her liking for the track. |

No closer than 11l in three runs this season and his strike-rate of 1-43 is offputting; the win came in France. |

11th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Finished remote on reappearance but the situation was accepted a long way out and he comes into it on previous form here, winning two of three previous course starts (2m6f, soft/2m7f, good to soft); only just above his latest winning mark in April (2m3f, good); likely contender. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who is still improving; won on reappearance at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) in November and, following a mid-race fall at Sandown, won when upped in trip at Haydock (3m4f, heavy); did it nicely under Ned Fox last time and a 7lb rise may not stop him this afternoon. |

Made if two wins in three starts when seeing off eight rivals on his Ludlow reappearance (3m1f, good to soft) in November; fell around halfway at Sandown since; this trip and heavy ground both unknowns but his yard continues in good form. |

Only win came in an Irish point more than three years ago; chasing career has been mostly disappointing but much better when fourth in a bunch finish at Warwick last month; repeat of that brings him into the reckoning. |

Defied a 12lb higher mark in 2020 for previous stable; best efforts for new yard when solid second over C&D in September/October; could well go one better, provided he takes to new headgear. |

Ex-Irish 11yo who has been campaigned mostly over fences for current yard; pulled up the last twice; not disgraced on last attempt over hurdles but he's on a long losing run. |
