13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Still retains a fair amount of ability despite his advancing years and, although no threat to the winner at Worcester (2m7f, good) last time, finished clear of the rest; on a workable mark and should give another good account, albeit vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Teenager; proved he still has fire in his belly when close second over C&D (good) in May but has since been pulled up in a chase; younger rivals appeal more. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Admirable veteran who nearly recorded his ninth hurdle win when a close second here (2m7f, good) in May; 0-8 over fences but he's 12lb lower back in this sphere and he does have some placed form in chase handicaps; dangerous with blinkers reapplied. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Just 1-27 under rules, with his sole success coming more than two years ago; recent efforts have offered some encouragement with the addition of cheekpieces and he's been eased a further 2lb, but still has something to prove with blinkers now tried. |
8/1 |

6th 3 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when making the frame at Warwick twice this season (3m1f/3m2f, good) but his finishing was disappointing in those races and he's patently not as good as he was; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 |
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. |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won by 7l here (3m2f, good) last summer and was seemingly back in good form when rallying fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month but has been soundly beaten twice since and now has it all to prove again. |
25/1 |

8th 11 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Winner at Worcester (2m7f, good) and Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last summer; struggled a bit since, but better run after wind op when fourth last time (2m3f); should fare even better now back up to 3m. |
20/1 |

4th 2 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three times last year (2m4f-3m2f, good) but has looked out of sorts since returning from a break in June (three runs); won't mind if there's rain about but needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |

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 |

1st 5 |
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. |

Won in July off 7lb higher (3m, good; first-time tongue-tie) but hasn't approached level in his subsequent races; not easily trusted. |

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. |
16/1 |

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. |
