2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
2lb lower than when runner-up on good ground at Warwick (3m2f) and Worcester (2m7f) in the summer, but not at his best since including when sixth of 11 behind The Wise Traveller at Plumpton (3m1f, good) six weeks ago; more needed. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Has run some fair races in defeat but remains a maiden (exposed) and isn't that well handicapped; probably vulnerable. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

0-9 over hurdles but was very consistent at around 3m on good/good to soft ground in early part of last season and ran well for a long way when back in action last month; big player if that recent outing brought him on. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Point bumper winner and was second in a Fontwell mares' novice hurdle (2m5f, good) in April; still went off 80-1 for handicap debut at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) and went out like a light. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a point bumper last November (soft); showed little on her first two rules starts before improving to be 6l second in a Fontwell mares' novices' hurdle (2m5f, good) in April; failed to back that up at Worcester (2m4f, good) latest, giving her a bit to prove again. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
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. |

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

Should be well handicapped but was pulled up over hurdles and fences before departing early in a handicap chase here 12 days ago; best watched. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Back below the mark of November's mares' handicap win at Fakenham (2m6f, good to soft); rarely operated at that level since, with little about two latest runs suggesting April's wind surgery has done anything for her. |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over fences last season (2m5f, good to soft) but it was an up-and-down campaign in both disciplines; ran moderately on the back of wind surgery on return to hurdles at Southwell but certainly has a big run in her if she can rediscover her form. |

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. |

No impact in two runs for her new stable last month; should be well treated and interesting to see if she's stronger in the betting today. |

Won a 1m4f Flat handicap for Ed Walker in July 2022 and over hurdles in September 2024 for Richard Phillips; well beaten at Southwell (1m6f, AW; 20-1) on stable debut nine days ago and needs to leave that effort well behind. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Veteran who rediscovered some form and was placed twice (once over C&D) in June/July; not quite in same form on latest outing 11 weeks ago but still enters calculations. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who has rediscovered some form and been placed twice (once over C&D) in recent weeks; slightly out of the weights today, though, and some of his younger rivals look much more interesting. |

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

Good days are hard to predict but did make the frame at Southwell (3m, good) last time with the visor left off; whether he'll be as good again remains to be seen. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
0-12; has run the occasional good race in defeat and her debut for this yard when backed into 7-2 favourite at Killarney (2m7f, yielding) wasn't a bad effort; not discounted. |
9/1 |

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

0-16 and has tried fences; kept plodding on when a 10l fourth in 2m4f hurdle at Southwell and she's worth another go over this far. |
5/1 |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Now 0-15 under rules after twice finishing tailed off over fences; was second over hurdles at Leicester in November when 7lb higher so can't be ruled out with a tongue-tie joining cheekpieces, especially with Sean Bowen up top. |
8/1 |
