9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Inconsistent chaser who's saved his best for Cheltenham in 2025 and 2026, including a win (his only handicap success) in January 2025 and third at the Festival this March; both were over an extended 2m4f and he's shown his form only once from seven attempts under rules over 3m+; not the percentage call. |

10st 10lb |
9lb higher when beaten 3.5l by Riskintheground 12 months ago; 0-10 in the meantime but the new visor worked well when a never-nearer third in the Plate at Cheltenham last month and clear claims if he can back that up. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Pulled up in the 2m4f novice handicap here last March but that was out of character as he had won over that C&D the time before and generally has a good track record; not much of a force this season, though, and he doesn't look in enough form to take advantage of a weights drop; often wears headgear, first-time visor today. |

Dual hurdle winner at about 2m4f (good to soft and good) two winters ago but disappointments have come thick and fast since pulling up on his latest two runs at 3m; goes chasing with inevitable question marks. |

11st 8lb |
Weakened quickly in closing stages at Market Rasen in January and needs to prove his wellbeing but he posted a good effort when clear third on handicap debut at Wincanton (3m, good) in October and is 1lb lower now; big player if back on song. |

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. |

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. |

Pulled up on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in March and effectively 5lb higher from further out of the weights here; needs to take a huge step forward but the better ground offers a ray of hope. |
