7th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins in 2023, at Southwell in February (2m, good) and over C&D in April (good to soft); not fared quite so well since although signs of a return to form when third over C&D last time (soft); on a good mark now and not out of it. |

Won this race last year and is now 2lb lower; however, this 12yo has plenty to prove having struggled on his three runs this season. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Reliable veteran who was in good form when last seen, finishing third on his last three runs; won this off 1lb lower last year and he's worth considering back from a break. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Just one win from 24 starts but that was by 11l over fences at Hereford (2m, good) in March and he ran into a handicap blot there in final run in the spring; looks interesting off 3lb lower on his return and his win was under Shane Quinlan. |

13yo who needs to prove he retains ability, having shown little in two outings this season; on a three-year losing spell and yet to win away from Huntingdon; 24lb out of the weights; opposed. |

17th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran whose last win was off 4lb higher in this race back in 2021 (good to soft); fair third at Hereford last April (2m, good to soft) but faces a stiff tack from 4lb out of the handicap on going softer than ideal. |

Narrow chase win over 2m1f at Bangor (heavy) last February; has been off and had wind surgery since well beaten over hurdles that April; this is a warm race for the grade. |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Placed in one of his two handicaps over hurdles but his improvement has come as a chaser, winning at Bangor (heavy) and second at Huntingdon (soft); off the same mark as last time and shouldn't be far away. |

Became disappointing for Olly Murphy and there has been no significant upturn in his fortunes since he joined this stable in the autumn (three runs); continues to slide down the weights but is not the obvious answer. |

5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |

Bumper/2m novice hurdle winner for previous yard but he wasn't the same force for them after an absence and well held in handicap chases for these connections; is one to watch back up in trip. |
25/1 |
