17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Ended last season with a C&D success in sole chase attempt at Exeter; inconsistent this term but the return to this scenario may have a positive effect. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |

Won twice last season (2m5f/2m3f); back in prime form when clear second at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by soft) in December, his second start this term, and remains unexposed as a stayer but ran poorly at Newbury last month and has become hard to predict. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Sole success came at Exeter off 7lb higher in April last year; has slipped down the weights but placed for the first time since when second of six finishers at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) 15 days ago; cannot dismiss. |

1-19 overall, though the win did come over fences; however, hasn't fired for a while, despite attracting market support on his return to hurdles last time. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last March and he finished in the first three in his next five starts; still looks on workable mark but he had a rare blip at Windsor (2m6f, soft) last month and he's never raced at shorter than 2m3f; bit to prove and others are preferred. |
9/2 |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Consistent sort who won at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last March and has been in the first three on all five starts since, most recently runner-up here (2m4f, good); stays this far and versatile ground-wise; each-way player. |
10/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
First-time blinkers did the trick when scoring at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in March and he was short of room at a crucial stage when close third at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; now 8lb higher than for his last win but he's a reliable type who still has potential in this sphere; respected on his return. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made the frame on final four starts last season, most recently when third of 12 here (2m3f, good) one month ago; remains on a workable mark but has stamina to prove over this much longer trip. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground; C&D second in January was also on soft but his two placed efforts over 2m4f at Wincanton since came on good to soft and good; ought to be thereabouts again but it is now over two years since his last win. |

3rd 5 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground but he ran well on good to soft over C&D last month when runner-up behind Universal Secret; nudged up 2lb but he usually races prominently and should go well again. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 21212 since joining Olly Murphy; edged out by a next-time-out winner (pair 19l clear) at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) last time and still looks well treated after a 3lb nudge. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 2121 since joining Olly Murphy and she kept on well to beat a clear second at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month; this is a different test at this new trip but she has quite a bit of stamina in pedigree and still looks on a workable mark; respected. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive since joining this yard, winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in December before close second in warm mares' handicap at Windsor (2m4f, soft); drops back down in grade today and could play a leading role. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Sported this headgear combination for the first time when narrowly repelling Authoceltic at Newton Abbot and followed up over hurdles later in the autumn; disappointed back over fences in January but returned to form with a decisive win at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft), beating a hat-trick seeker in the process; went up 8lb for that but clearly a contender; good ground is fine. |

Newton Abbot chase winner in October (2m, good to soft), but continues to return stronger RPRs win or lose over hurdles; 3lb drop following January's fading Exeter chasing sixth isn't sufficiently persuasive. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form for Charlie Longsdon but didn't really fire during four-race campaign for Emma Lavelle last season and still has quite a bit to prove over fences; changed hands for 3,200euros in April; sports first-time cheekpieces here; first runner under rules for Chester Williams; market may guide. |

1-9 over hurdles; ended last season on a low note and was again well beaten when back in action in January; makes chasing debut from a good mark but others look much less risky. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has had just the one win, gained in a French chase back in 2022, and there's little in recent hurdle form to suggest he's about to add to that; 6lb out of the handicap. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Gained only win (from 43 starts) in a French chase in 2022 and recent hurdling form does not suggest he's poised to add to his tally. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a run of non-completions when finishing fifth of seven over C&D last time (Presenting Yeats behind); although that was an improved effort, it did appear to stretch his stamina; much more required again from out of the weights. |
