14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-11 over hurdles but the bulk of those wins have come on soft or heavy ground; sits 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (2m, soft; 9-4, four runners) over Christmas; one of three declared runners for Olly Murphy. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Progressive 6yo who kept on stoutly to beat three rivals at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and is now 5-10 over hurdles; contests this much deeper race from a 6lb higher mark but still considered. |

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 |
12st 0lb |
Promising juvenile when winning twice on soft ground; beaten in all seven handicaps, the latest when no match for Double Oban here nine days ago; both horses are off the same mark and this 5yo was claimer ridden last week. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences and has been out of form on his last two starts, most recently when a 31l last of five at Southwell (2m, good) in June on his return from a break; that run may have been needed but other candidates appeal more. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

All five wins have been over hurdles; 0-5 over fences and finished last of six at Kempton (2m2f, good) in March; others preferred. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Productive spell over hurdles culminated in a hat-trick last spring; 0-4 switched to fences since but ran encouragingly at Chepstow most recently; clear possibilities off a reduced mark. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Unable to justify good market support when well beaten on final two starts last season (2m4f/2m3f) but got his act together when dropped back to 2m at Ffos Las (good to soft) last month, coming from behind to win stylishly by over 4l; 7lb higher in a stronger race here but might kick on again. |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Unable to justify solid market support on final two appearances last season (pulled up/beaten 38l) and has now been unplaced all seven hurdling starts; evidently thought capable of better, though, and it will be interesting to see whether his supporters wade in again; drops back in trip; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Still a maiden over hurdles after 13 starts but looked set to put that right at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in April, only to fall at the last when mounting his challenge, after a similar break to today's; up 2lb but Paddy Hanlon retains the ride and this 6yo is worth considering. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-12 over hurdles but he ran well to finished second off this mark at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) in February; this is a deeper race but he's versatile ground-wise and has each-way claims again after a short break. |
5/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Ex-French; placed three times over hurdles late last year, but poor in three more starts over hurdles and two on the AW since then; now 0-19 under rules and has plenty to prove. |

19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

In the frame at 1m2f-1m4f in France last year; initially ran quite promisingly over hurdles in Britain but he's gone walkabout this year, including on AW in April; has it to prove at present. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who goes well on slow ground; he returned to fences at Hereford two weeks ago and looked booked for second when falling late on; has a chance off 1lb lower. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Mud lover who suffered big defeats both starts over fences for Jonjo O'Neill; couldn't land a gamble on his fourth outing for this yard when second of eight over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; suitability for chasing and this trip unproven but weighted to be competitive. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Hard to win with but he's on a competitive mark if new trainer Nick Scholfield can get him back on track; market helpful. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
His last win was over two years ago but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up and he won't mind what the weather does. |
11/2 |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned to form with creditable second at Taunton (2m, good) last month, his third start for David Brace, but was pulled up on recent chasing debut and has become hard to predict. |
