2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Flat (1m4f) and hurdle winner (1m7f), but he's been out of sorts under both codes in seven runs for his current yard; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival back up in trip; first-time blinkers. |

Won a 1m4f handicap for Richard Fahey in July 2023 and was subsequently sold for 215,000gns to go jumping; won a Wincanton handicap hurdle for Paul Nicholls last December, but hasn't achieved anything of note for this yard; makes AW debut. |

Unseated rider mid-race when well backed for Fontwell handicap six weeks ago and now 0-7 over hurdles; not one to give up on just yet but moves up in grade today and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

0-6 over hurdles but was a beaten favourite on his last three starts in March/April; below form on the Flat in three runs since but not one to give up on just yet; goes without headgear worn on last hurdles start and last two Flat runs. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Missed the whole of 2025; needs to put a lesser effort in a 0-95 contest at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last month behind him, but this is easier and he is just 1lb higher than for his last win, which came over this trip. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |

Three-time winner; showed the benefit of his return from a long absence when giving it a good go from the front in a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; whether he can improve again is debatable and this is tougher. |
8/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins including an emphatic success at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) on his 4yo reappearance, but he has plenty to prove having been beaten a very long way on his return from almost 21 months off at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) 13 days ago. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-11 over hurdles but the bulk of those wins have come on soft or heavy ground; sits 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (2m, soft; 9-4, four runners) over Christmas; one of three declared runners for Olly Murphy. |

Progressive 6yo who kept on stoutly to beat three rivals at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and is now 5-10 over hurdles; contests this much deeper race from a 6lb higher mark but still considered. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |
11/8 |

1st 5 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won on the Flat at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and followed up here (2m1f, good) last Tuesday, which was his second run in a handicap hurdle; escapes a penalty for that recent win and there can be considerable optimism that he'll be suited by this step up in trip; could be tough to beat. |

Runner-up to a dual subsequent winner on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m, good) in September and reverts to this discipline after clearcut 2m AW win in January; could still have untapped potential over jumps; must be considered. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has patchy profile but he's feasibly treated on best form and was disputing second when he fell at the last at Taunton (2m, soft) in final run last season; returns after almost a year off but conditions are no problem and he needs a close look on first run for Olly Murphy. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
He's posted easy wins here this June (2m2f, good), August (2m1f, good to firm) and September (2m1f, good to soft); plenty to find with the form principals but can give another good account at his favourite track. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |

Form figures in staying handicaps at this track this year read 211, the latest success coming by 5l over 2m1f (good) last month; heavy defeat on AW last time but respected back here. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Fairly exposed; chance on his Haydock handicap third in July (1m2f, good) but well beaten since, including with cheekpieces (on again) in a Yarmouth maiden (1m2f, good) last time. |

Ran poorly in a Doncaster handicap 18 days ago (1m4f, soft); cheekpieces now turned to and the pick of this summer's efforts (over 1m2f on good ground) brings him into the reckoning. |

19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 3 |

Three-time 1m2f AW winner last year; good second in first-time hood (retained since) at Ascot (1m2f, good) in May but well beaten over 1m4f the next twice (good/good to soft) and others make greater appeal. |

12th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
3-3 over 1m2f on the AW last year; proved her effectiveness on turf when second in a 1m2f handicap here in May (good) and it was always going to be tough for her in a 1m4f Group 3 last month (80-1); fair shout back in a handicap should conditions dry out (ran no race when tried on soft once before). |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting. |
