11th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Worcester (2m, good) last June and continued in good form in the autumn; made early mistakes when 11l fourth on chase debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in December; off since but ran well after a 107-day break last September and he could be in the mix. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Last of four (beaten 26l) in this last year; arrives in better form this year, with back-to-back point wins at Overton (3m); however, there wasn't much depth to his latest win, with his main market rival departing at the first fence. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Fair hurdler/chaser when with Ben Pauling and a good-ground point winner for new connections this year; unseated rider at sixth fence on last month's hunter chase debut but was clear second in open point at Witton Castle (good to firm) nine days ago and has a fighting chance in this. |

11st 11lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 21212 since joining Olly Murphy; edged out by a next-time-out winner (pair 19l clear) at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) last time and still looks well treated after a 3lb nudge. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 2121 since joining Olly Murphy and she kept on well to beat a clear second at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month; this is a different test at this new trip but she has quite a bit of stamina in pedigree and still looks on a workable mark; respected. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |

Progressive since joining this yard, winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in December before close second in warm mares' handicap at Windsor (2m4f, soft); drops back down in grade today and could play a leading role. |

Subject of a gamble when runner-up at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in January, but hasn't matched that effort since including on his first start back with his former trainer (following a second wind operation) at Fakenham (2m, good) last month; others preferred. |

Pulled up in four of her last five starts and overall she's 0-9 over hurdles; third over 2m3f here last month was a good effort but she's been pulled up again since; has plenty to prove from out of the weights. |
