12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Flat-bred gelding who hasn't convinced on two previous attempts at 3m, the latest a Grade 1 novice at Kempton in December; however, he rallied for third at Cheltenham (nearly 2m5f, soft) in January and kept on well when filling the same position in the Plate at the Festival (extended 2m4f, good to soft); worth another go at this trip and could have a part to play. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Found immediate improvement for the switch to fences when winning on chase debut at Newbury (2m4f, good) in November; useful, persevering efforts in two good 2m4f races since, on that track and when third to Jagwar in a well-contested C&D handicap, and a truly run race kept to this trip will suit; has win possibilities if fitting cheekpieces brisks him up. |

11st 13lb |
Irish point second who was placed in a heavy ground bumper on debut and also in a Kempton novices' hurdle (2m5f, soft) in February; pulled up on handicap debut at Taunton later that month but player if a subsequent wind operation has a positive effect; also has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-strap he's worn recently. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Early promise in Irish point and bumper; low-key start to hurdle career but he fared better when runner-up to a hotpot at Kempton (2m5f, soft) recently and should do better again on switch to this level over new trip. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-6 over hurdles and absent since a disappointing run in April but his first two handicap runs (2m5f/2m4f) were quite encouraging and improvement is possible this season; cheekpieces left off today. |

19th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has shown glimpses of promise in both novice and handicap company and stepped up slightly on his return from wind surgery when fifth at Plumpton (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces) latest; drops 2lb and likely to need more improvement to defy this mark. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Refusal to settle on first start for over 22 months inevitably caught up with him on last month's chase/handicap debut over C&D; needs to help himself more, but already okay mark lowered 3lb more; tongue tie added. |

Displayed some ability in points last March/April and was only beaten about 30l on his two hurdling starts towards the end of last year (2m3f/2m4f) but significant improvement is required here. |

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. |

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. |

Low-mileage 5yo who won a maiden hurdle here (2m, soft) in March; absent since pulled up on chasing debut in May (2m3f) but could still have a good future over fences and is unexposed over this sort of trip. |
