9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Made it two wins in a row when scoring on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October and improved form in defeat the next twice, most recently third in 4yo Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in November; others may have greater potential but he might not be far away. |

Drew nicely clear to make winning handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; took a giant leap forward when splitting Givemefive and Bottler'secret at Cheltenham; had the fitness edge that day but is worth his place in the field. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made the most of a reduced mark when justifying support and gaining a first win since 2023 when scoring at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; remains well treated on past form back up 6lb and likely to be in the mix again. |

1st 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Without a win since 2023 but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and ran surprisingly well over 3m last time at Wincanton when all his form is over shorter; goes on soft. |
12/1 |

3rd 9 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Remote when third at Newbury (2m4f, soft) last month and remains winless since 2023; however, the form of his keeping-on fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) two starts ago has worked out well and he's too well handicapped to be ruled out on this first attempt at a staying trip. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly useful hurdler; 1-3 on the Flat in France early in 2023 and returned to this sphere with a front-running win in six-runner handicap at the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) in May, going clear about 4f out and staying clear; front-running in the 2m4f Ascot Handicap (33-1) one month later did not work out but he might still have more to offer on the Flat. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

Fairly useful hurdler; 1-3 on the Flat in France early in 2023 and returned to this sphere with a front-running win in six-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) one month ago, going clear about 4f out and staying clear; up 7lb and into a much stronger race but he could have plenty more to offer. |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Fairly useful hurdler who was consistent last jumps season, albeit in defeat; has left Paul Nicholls (same owners); unexposed on Flat (1-3 in France early in 2023) and needs a second look. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back with a win at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in December but he was tailed off in next two starts and he didn't get very far at Newbury (fell at third) last time; has plenty to prove again and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has gained both wins in Class 4, including for his standout performance this term; pair of duck eggs since, albeit the 2m7f trip perhaps contributed to latest defeat; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |

13th 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Showed career-best form when winning readily by 4l at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in December; subsequent lesser effort in major Kempton handicap is not viewed harshly but 2m7f on soft ground will take his stamina into unknown territory. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises. |
7/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Developed into a useful handicapper on the Flat for Hugo Palmer last year; having rejoined Olly Murphy, he continued the good work when second on 2m Wolverhampton reappearance three weeks ago, with reopposing pair Enemy and Brasil Power narrowly behind in third/fourth; likely to go well again. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has patchy profile but he's feasibly treated on best form and was disputing second when he fell at the last at Taunton (2m, soft) in final run last season; returns after almost a year off but conditions are no problem and he needs a close look on first run for Olly Murphy. |

25th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the running for both hurdle wins (2m, soft) last winter; has found life harder in handicaps but better treated now and he was anything but a pushover for one on a three-timer at Lingfield (2m, soft) last month; trip query back at 2m3f with cheekpieces fitted but still respected. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Flat and hurdles winner but already a far superior chaser; jumped well in front (although sometimes to the right) when completing a handicap hat-trick at Doncaster (2m, soft) six weeks ago by 17l; firmly on the up and deserves his chance in this higher grade. |
9/2 |

1st 3 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner but he's looking a far superior chaser; bumped into a very smart novice on his chase debut and has since won two handicaps, the latest over C&D by some 8l (soft); an 8lb rise could have been worse for one firmly on the upgrade. |
7/4 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; very solid form at Newbury (2m, good to soft) since switched to fences, finishing a good second (behind subsequent Grade 2 scorer) prior to going one better in a race that is working out nicely; may well have more to offer in this sphere and warrants major respect. |

11st 1lb |
5yo who has got better with each of his three runs for this yard, going close at Warwick (2m, soft) most recently; also effective on good ground and he shaped last time as though today's step up in trip could be a plus. |

21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Failed to go on for the Skeltons; his second run for this yard when third at Sandown (2m, soft; first-time hood) was a return to form, though he was held up off a fast pace set by the winner and might be flattered. |

This is her first run since November 2024 and she needs to prove how much ability she retains; however, this lightly raced 6yo is on a competitive judged on her handicap form in autumn 2024 and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the betting on her return to action. |
