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. |

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. |

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. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two small-field wins around 3m on good in the autumn; went off the boil subsequently but very much back on his game when second of 11 at Chepstow 17 days ago; raised 5lb for pulling clear of the rest but it looks justified given the third was successful back at Chepstow last week. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Regressive 8yo who won a three-runner race in the spring but has developed a tendency to race lazily; soundly beaten on all three appearances this season and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task on this first venture beyond 3m2f. |

Three of his four chase wins have been on this track, two over C&D; scored off a 2lb higher mark at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in April in a three-runner contest but two poor efforts this term and looks risky. |

11st 9lb |
On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); returned to form with a string of good efforts in the autumn but absent since pulled up in Fakenham marathon just before Christmas and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player. |

Returned from long absence with fairly encouraging run at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) in October but has looked out of sorts since and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

Made all over C&D (good) in March and doubled his chasing tally with hard-fought success at Uttoxeter (3m, good) two months ago; should also be suited by today's slower ground and helps to give Christian Williams a good hand in this race. |
