22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Grand veteran with eight wins over hurdles, including two over C&D last summer; down to his last winning mark and should be sharper for his fifth at Hereford last month following a five-month layoff, but you have to think that one of his younger rivals should have his measure. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Registered a four-timer last April-June (3m1f/2m7f, good/good to soft); very in and out since and he's now a 13yo but he finished on the heels of the principals off today's mark at Warwick in November when last seen; more to prove after the break. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Secured the second leg of a four-timer with wide-margin win over C&D (good) in May; now just 2lb above his last winning mark but generally well beaten since (the exception in a four-runner race) and he was tailed off last time; others look more likely. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Only 1-24 and that win was nearly two years ago; he was in no form earlier this year and plenty depends on whether cheekpieces can trigger something; he's dropped to a good mark. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win came off just 1lb higher in May 2024; some creditable efforts subsequently but his hurdling has often held him back and he's been tailed off all three starts since January. |

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. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Ran creditably at Hereford (3m1f) last time, bouncing back from two poor efforts, but this looks a tougher assignment; still seeking first handicap success above Class 5. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual hurdle winner on good ground this summer (2m7f/3m2f); last month's chasing defeat is probably best overlooked (didn't jump well enough) but he has high mileage for his age and might be vulnerable in this grade. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won from well out of the weights at Ludlow and off only 3lb higher he followed up at the expense of three rivals (3m, good), taking his record there to 3-5; has another 6lb rise to contend with but has won here and has to be taken seriously. |
13/2 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Veteran who bounced back with 33-1 success from well out of the weights over C&D (good) most recently, taking Ludlow record to 2-4; just no certainty to follow up, having been inconsistent for a while. |
7/2 |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in December but this veteran has struggled in five subsequent runs; has lots to prove and he's a long way out of the weights. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to win by 12l at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January, despite racing too freely, but was hit quite hard by the handicapper for that and was safely held on both subsequent outings (2m5f/2m7f). |
14/1 |

6th 3 |
7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Didn't settle but still recorded an easy Wincanton win under Harry Cobden in January (2m4f, heavy); contested lead and 11lb rise found him out latest, and at least one of those will be an issue again here. |
8/1 |
|
7th 11 |
9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Made it 14th-time lucky under rules with a powerful front-running display at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January, winning by 12l; rider's 10lb claim useful in view of his 11lb higher mark, but whether things will work out so favourably this time remains to be seen. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner; seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) when very respectable third at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) this month but has become too inconsistent to rely upon. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
5-32 over hurdles (2m-3m2f), including on good to firm; first run back from a break in April was encouraging but he's gone backwards since and has to be forgiven a poor effort latest; on a fair mark if first-time cheekpieces help. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 |
7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Possible to say he's been temptingly handicapped for a while now, but dropping into a 0-110 here for just the second time; some hope if getting a less contested lead than last time (C&D), which isn't a given. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

4lb below his winning mark and the fourth over C&D in July was more encouraging; brought down mid-race at Uttoxeter latest. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Returned from layoff with two poor performances last month but his fourth behind Red Panda at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago was much more encouraging and he's now 4lb lower than for last year's 3m Perth win; big player if first-time cheekpieces help him to build on that recent effort. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
0-25 in Irish points, though his last-time Quakerstown third (3m, yielding) was one of the better efforts; well held at usually big prices over hurdles last summer; British/stable debut. |

23rd Jul 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 0y |

Second reserve; best hurdle effort came at Cork last time and has to build on that on handicap debut. |
