27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; bounced back from a poor run when second at Plumpton (2m4f, soft; tongue-tie refitted) this month and new jockey Rian Corcoran claims a useful 6lb; shortlisted. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles and ran okay in his first two races after a wind operation before failing to give his running at Fontwell a month ago; would have a chance if he's back to anything like his best. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Drew clear to score in first-time visor at Fonwell (2m3f, good to soft) in March and is now 4-14 over hurdles; returns from seven-month absence on career-high mark but won when fresh last autumn; a possible. |

Ex-Olly Murphy; yet to win for current yard and now back from another lengthy break; others preferred. |

5th 1 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three chases for Ollie Murphy, two of them three-runner races over C&D; yet to win for current yard but he was a creditable third at Stratford (2m5f, good) when last seen in October; all wins on good ground. |
10/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won on good ground at Southwell (2m4f) and Uttoxeter (2m5f) in final two runs for Olly Murphy; no impact in four starts for current yard but he wasn't beaten far in a Class 2 at Bangor (3m) last time and is now back on last winning mark; could be dangerous with Sean Bowen booked on this drop back in trip and grade. |

28th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |

held up in rear, headway 3 out, hung left but disputing third approaching last, weakened run-in |
4/1 |

3rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won over C&D and at Perth (2m4f) on good ground in summer 2023, and returned from long absence with good third at Leicester (1m7f, good to soft) in November (had wind op afterwards); there's a slight concern that today's conditions might be slower than he prefers but, nevertheless, he helps to give Olly Murphy a strong hand in this race. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Generally disappointing last season but showed the benefit of a wind op when making the frame on final two appearances (2m/2m4f); begins new campaign on a workable mark and will be suited by the ground; a possible. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his third success over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) last month after his challenger fell at the last obstacle; up 7lb but still on the upgrade and should not be far away. |
11/4 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |

1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Flat/hurdle winner who left Dan Skelton for 4,400gns; finished a clear second at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft; effective on good) on stable/chase debut and the revitalised winner has struck again since; gets in here off the same mark. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Flat/hurdle winner who was bought out of Dan Skelton's yard for 4,400gns last month; had been in fair form over hurdles, but perhaps best watched on chase/stable debut. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |

Sole hurdles win was for Ian Williams at Market Rasen (2m4f) three years ago; went close on first start for this trainer at Worcester (2m4f) last September; trip possibly short enough at Market Rasen and Sedgefield post wind surgery; easing mark and claimer ridden. |

Record is only 1-21 and her handicap form is unconvincing; however, last two efforts (2m4f) suggest this combination of new trip and new headgear may help. |
