9st 6lb |
Won in France (1m3f, very soft) as a 4yo and twice runner-up in eight starts over hurdles after joining this yard; fourth of eight back on the Flat in a Southwell novice (1m3f, AW) last month (winner has gone in again since) and worth a market check on Flat handicap debut with a tongue-tie given a go. |

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled to cope with heavy ground when upped to 2m5f for recent handicap debut but was placed in a 2m novice on good to soft in the autumn and remains unexposed; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers here. |

Bought for 155,000gns after winning Irish maiden point (3m) in May 2022; his rules form has been patchy but he was a fair third in a Lingfield novice hurdle (2m, good to soft) last November and is open to improvement now up in trip in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut; watch the betting. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Ex-Olly Murphy; well handicapped on his hurdles form, but hasn't shown much in three runs over fences; pulled up over hurdles on first run back after wind surgery last time; hard to fancy. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well handicapped on form as recent as last February for Olly Murphy but he's struggled this season and hopes are pinned on the wind operation prompting a dramatic revival. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won a bumper and a maiden hurdle for Olly Murphy through the formative stages of career; poor (0-2) over fences for that trainer, and yet to hint at revival over hurdles since joining new trainer (0-3); mark in freefall; one of the least likely candidates. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Well named as a hurdler and proving a revelation over fences, racking up six wins in his seven starts; has the canny habit of never prevailing by wide margins, with none of those wins gained by more than two lengths; unraced over this far (the same can be said for many) but he stayed on best over 3m5f at Lingfield last time (soft) and he impressed in how he moved through that race; loves the mud, so the recent rain was a major blessing. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Launched chasing career with five consecutive wins, the latest on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (3m2f, heavy) in November; could still have more improvement to come over this new trip but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing run. |
8/1 |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Reserve; won final hurdle start last March (2m5f, heavy) and 4-4 over fences this term (heavy/soft); travelled well at Lingfield (extended 2m7f) latest and this thriving 6yo could have plenty more left in the tank; may well take a 7lb rise in his stride if handling the forecast quicker ground. |

0-20 and mixed signals all season over what his present optimum trip might be; staying on but no chance with winner when second at Warwick latest (2m, good), and this contest looks a shade stronger. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |

0-8 over fences and 0-18 overall; clear second to an improver over C&D (soft) in January and now only 1lb above that mark but hasn't quite been in the same form since; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
