11st 1lb |
Off the mark over fences at the fourth attempt in Newbury handicap in February (2m7f, soft; Pic Roc second); also effective on good going; merely mid-division in the Jack Richards at Cheltenham since but he's back in a less competitive race here and he could tap back into his previous promise. |

Debut bumper scorer who came in second at Wincanton (2m4f) December; beat only one in 2m4f Wetherby novice since but holds good form claims if back on song. |

3rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Course bumper winner (2m, soft) who was found to have an irregular heartbeat when pulled up on hurdle debut, and left that behind when second at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in December; that latest form has been franked by the easy winner and he's open to further improvement for the champion trainer. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at 22-1 on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in September on first run since May; disappointing at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October but often runs well after a break and he could be in the mix. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Returned from break to cause 22-1 surprise on last month's chasing debut at Worcester (2m4f, good), keeping on strongly to reel in the leader on the run-in; nudged up only 2lb for that; high on the list. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Left Olly Murphy for 5,500gns and pretty much tailed off in four handicap chases since. |
25/1 |

5th 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice for Olly Murphy in the autumn and subsequently sold for 5,500gns; hasn't been in the same form in three runs for his current trainer; cheekpieces worn on his last three starts are dispensed with on this step up in trip; still has time on his side but all of a sudden has a bit to prove. |

3rd 8 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |

In good form for Olly Murphy in the autumn, winning in blinkers at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to firm) and Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft), but soundly beaten in cheekpieces (retained) at Warwick for new stable twice since and now has a point to prove. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner last season (2m4f/3m2f); fell on chasing debut in May but returned with good hurdle run last month and could still have a good future over fences; one to consider. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not seen since falling on chase debut in May but ended last season in good form, most notably when winning at Warwick (3m2f, good); also has a Plumpton win on his CV; major player if fully tuned up after break. |

17th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Ended last season in very good form over hurdles, winning at Warwick (3m2f, good) before clear second at Huntingdon (3m1f, good); contender if he jumps soundly on this chasing debut. |

Six-race maiden who has been beaten 40l or more in his four hurdle runs at up to 2m5f; now switches to a handicap but he's out of the weights and needs plenty of progress back up in trip. |

Last won when scoring by 12l off this mark at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) in February 2024; only one start last term and he finished eighth of 13 on his comeback at Lingfield three weeks ago; that run wasn't devoid of promise, though; could step forward. |

Disputing lead when final-fence faller on Irish point debut in 2021 but very disappointing favourite in a bumper last season and again well beaten when switched to hurdling last month (2m3f); upped in trip with cheekpieces added. |
