11st 13lb |
Didn't take to fences and was having his second start back over hurdles when winning by 7l at Plumpton (3m1f, good) a fortnight ago; wouldn't have won by so far had his nearest pursuer not fallen two out and he is now 7lb higher, but still high on the list based on that performance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hereford winner over fences (2m5f, good to soft) in 2024 who was also second over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) that year; missed 2025 and fell on his stable debut in February but there were signs he retained ability despite finishing last of five here (about 2m5f, soft) last month; possibilities in a thin event. |

Chase winner for Pat Murphy; was entitled to have needed his recent stable debut after almost two years off but was weakening out of it at Plumpton, behind Junior Des Mottes, when coming down at the second last. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
2m5f chase winner and has the better form in that discipline, but he's not yet fully exposed over hurdles and his 7l second over C&D in May 2024 was a fair effort on final start for Pat Murphy; makes stable debut returning from a long absence and probably best watched. |

10st 13lb |
2-38 under rules, both wins at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in May 2022; placed a few times off higher marks last year and probably needed the run when fourth of seven behind Sandy Brook at Plumpton (3m1f, good) a fortnight ago; now 10lb better off; could go well. |

Well handicapped on some of last year's placed form for Ben Pauling but has not been firing on all cylinders for a while and is now 0-16 over hurdles; seems best on good ground but handles good to soft. |

0-18 since making winning debut in a Warwick bumper (September 2021); back from a 174-day absence when fifth of seven in a Class 5 handicap at Plumpton (3m1f, good; beaten 15l) latest; others are more likely candidates. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Looked in excellent nick when making all for clearcut success at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in February but was beaten about 30l over that C&D on next two outings; moves back up in trip with questions to answer. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song. |

Made all to notch her third C&D win (soft; from 7lb lower) three weeks ago; that was in a mares' contest but she was a comfortable winner and this track brings out the best in her; one of the likeliest candidates. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made low-key stable debut over hurdles last month and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on subsequent chasing debut; 2lb wrong for this quick return to hurdling but it won't be a surprise if he gets his act together for his respected new training partnership soon; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles three weeks ago and is now 0-12 in that sphere but it won't be a surprise if he comes good for his respected new training partnership soon; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers on this chasing debut; 2lb wrong; watch the betting. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Recorded only success in point in April when the sole finisher; sold for £8,500 since last run; poor claims on rules form; market may offer further guidance on stable debut. |
