21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner who looked useful during three-race novice hurdle campaign for Nicky Henderson last season, signing off with small-field win at Kempton (2m5f, good) in March; probably still has potential, and new trainer Olly Murphy is evidently very keen to switch him to fences. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Evidently well suited by the new trip when scoring at Taunton (3m4f, good) last month, and is now 2-4 over fences; open to further improvement if not inconvenienced by this switch to a left-handed track; respected. |
7/2 |

1st 2 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made a winning chase debut at this track (2m7f, good to firm) in November off 1lb lower mark; put a poor run behind him when third of six back here (2m7f, good) last month and must come into consideration if he adapts to the step up in distance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Point/hurdles scorer who jumped well when making a winning start in this sphere over C&D in November but he's been off since coming in a remote fourth of six in 3m Exeter handicap 74 days ago; possibly worth another chance after a break. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Promise in two Chepstow maiden hurdles (about 2m4f, soft and good to soft) around this time last year but only mid-division in two subsequent handicaps; wasn't beaten far in the latest of them on last month's reappearance, however, and has untapped potential at this trip; hood goes on. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Shaped with promise in two C&D maidens last autumn and wasn't beaten far when upped to 3m for handicap debut in March; back from another break today but remains unexposed. |
14/1 |

7th 8 |
21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Plenty of promise in his bumper and a pair of 2m3f maiden hurdles (from soft to good); very interesting now raised in distance on his handicap debut as there's lots of stamina in the pedigree; absent since November so market support would be welcomed. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who has improved to win 3m handicaps at Wetherby (soft) and Southwell (good to soft), readily defying a 3lb rise last time; now has to contend with a 9lb hit but he's on a roll. |
7/2 |

1st 4 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Got off the mark when beating Moveonbuy by a head in a tight finish at Wetherby last time (3m, soft); not out of it despite a 3lb rise. |
15/8 |

1st 5 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Placed in his last three starts, all on slow ground at around 3m and in cheekpieces; hasn't been able to find enough at the end of his races but is not ruled out from what is clearly a competitive mark. |

8th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent five-race maiden who ties in with a couple of these opponents; however, chance of opening his account largely depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
4th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Four-race maiden who has consistent form figures and steadily progressive RPRs; ran well at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) most recently, taking hurdles record to 333; solid contender who has a good chance at the weights and could open his account. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chased home short-odds favourite in Ludlow novice (2m, good to soft) in February but safely held in both subsequent handicaps (2m3f/2m); needs a boost from the new cheekpieces here. |

Best of the rest behind a long odds-on winner in Ludlow novice (2m, good to soft) in February; disappointing second favourite on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good) one month ago but the trip might have stretched him. |
