Came good for Olly Murphy with two wins (both on good to soft) towards end of last season; finished last on last month's reappearance outing, having dropped out tamely in the straight, but might have needed that run and further progress remains possible if he copes with the ground here. |

Debut hurdles winner over C&D for Lucinda Russell but he's proved rather hit and miss since for his current yard, scoring at Huntingdon in February before being pulled up at Exeter last month; others are preferred. |

Out of form in December when last seen over hurdles but looked back in good nick when winning on AW in February and is 5lb lower than when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in March 2025; interesting. |

Bumper winner; quite eyecatching when beaten 4l in her first handicap (2m, good to soft) and raced too freely off the pace when beaten further at Fontwell (2m3f); drops back in distance here and she retains potential. |

Yet to make any further progress since winning a 2m Ludlow novice in March 2025 but posted a sound effort when second off today's mark at Hereford (2m, good) last month and is work another crack at this sort of trip. |

Jumping has been an issue in his two runs over fences; lightly raced hurdler with novice honours to his name and worth considering back in this sphere off what's probably a realistic mark; all headgear left off (has always sported either a hood or tongue-tie). |

Tiny-margin victories last season at Hereford (for Stuart Crawford) and Doncaster, but step back up to Class 4 handicap company has appeared beyond him the last twice; seemingly stable second string on bookings. |

Low-mileage 4yo; caused 28-1 surprise at Doncaster (2m, good to soft; flights in home straight omitted) in March, his second hurdling success, but was well beaten last month and is not an easy one to predict. |

Won in France (1m3f, very soft) as a 4yo and twice runner-up in eight starts over hurdles after joining this yard; fourth of eight back on the Flat in a Southwell novice (1m3f, AW) last month (winner has gone in again since) and worth a market check on Flat handicap debut with a tongue-tie given a go. |

Won twice for Tom Ellis (2m1f/2m) towards end of last year but suffered 28l defeats on both starts for new stable in February/March (2m/2m4f) and returns from six-month break with quite a bit to prove. |

£26,000 3yo; second foal; dam multiple AQPS Flat/hurdle/chase winner; stable is 0-26 in bumpers during the last five seasons, so it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting. |
