11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Regular winner, including at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) and Ayr (3m, soft) this season; very good third of 24 to Supremely West in the Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month but Sean Bowen still deserts him in favour of Hold The Serve. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Below form on his only run at this track, albeit two years ago; regular winner, including at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) and Ayr (3m, soft) in two of three starts this season, with a creditable third to Kikijo at Sandown in between; up another 6lb but if he's in contention he will be staying on. |

24th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Two from two over C&D, both wins gained this season for new stable; nearly made the frame in Pertemps qualifier at Chepstow last time; commands respect back at Warwick. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who was close to his peak form when second to Kiwi De Cotte over what turned out to be an extended 3m at Market Rasen (good) three weeks ago; versatile ground-wise; no surprise if he features. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
1lb higher than for the 3m win at Aintree last October (good); hasn't approached that form in his only three races since but this is a drop in grade; should go well. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in 2022 for Olly Murphy; recently beaten in staying handicaps won by I'm A Starman (runs earlier) at Warwick and Worcester and ran respectably in the latter when ahead of Faded Fantasy; every chance. |
4/1 |

3rd 11 |
7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Still to add to April 2022's Perth maiden success for Olly Murphy (2m4f, good to soft), and this would be a bit better race than the Warwick 0-100 in which I'm A Starman beat him 31l last time. |

5th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Rediscovered some form and made the frame on consecutive appearances in the autumn (once over C&D) but began this year with two disappointing runs and has it all to prove again now. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Prolific point winner who's proven inconsistent over hurdles since returning from seven months off; has been doing his racing over further and is some way down the pecking order. |

Both handicap wins have come over 3m1f at Huntingdon; hard to be confident on this season's two showings but not badly handicapped if staging a revival. |

Ex-Olly Murphy; off the mark for present yard when winning five-runner handicap chase by a short head at Fontwell last time (3m2f, good); up 3lb; interesting. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All four wins have came over fences Andy Irvine; her last success was in January 2024 but that was at this track (3m3f) and she returned to form with a creditable third over hurdles here (3m2f, soft) last month; that was only her second start since rejoining her former stable and she's in the mix back over fences. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |

All four wins have came over fences for Andy Irvine; had no joy in three starts for Olly Murphy and rejoined former stable before pulling up at Exeter (3m6f, heavy) last month; bids to exploit 10lb lower mark over hurdles; needs to show more. |

Ran well in only one of six hurdling starts for Dan Skelton last season and, having rejoined Sam Loxton, was pulled up in a hunter chase in February; last of three finishers in 4m point last month; revival needed. |

Successful in a division of this race in 2021 but that was the middle leg of a hat-trick; not in same form at present, having performed poorly in two runs since Bangor win in October. |
