17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Made all in this race a year ago, after a seven-month break, and showed career-best form when scoring at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in the autumn; returns from latest break on a tough mark but no surprise if he gives this a good shot. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Back to near best on first start for this stable when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) with the hood back on; remains well treated on past form after 3lb rise and holds strong claims if able to repeat the effort. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Absent since pulled up over hurdles for Matt Sheppard last summer (wore cheekpieces) but was unlucky not to win a chase for him at Chepstow (2m, good) just under a year ago, and he's now 5lb below that mark; will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting before this stable debut; usual hood refitted. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
In front when falling at the last over fences at Chepstow (2m, good) in April, but was pulled up in his next two starts and well beaten back over hurdles at Bangor (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; cheekpieces given a go but has plenty to prove. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Steady progress since joining this trainer, resuming winning ways over 2m here (good; 7-2, with Malangen third) latest; raised 7lb since, and tackles 2m4f for the first time; noteworthy that Patrick Mullins travels over from Ireland to ride. |
15/8 |

1st 4 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Built upon satisfactory stable debut and ran big race before weakening into third at Kelso (2m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; remains on a good mark and should cope with the forecast slower ground here; likely contender. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Kempton last April off 2lb higher when trained by Nigel Hawke; ran as if he needed the run when fourth of six finishers at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) 19 days ago on his stable debut after eight months off; sports first-time cheekpieces and has to be of interest. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
A fair 1m2f scorer on the Flat who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m Stratford handicap last June; back from ten months off with a promising third of eight over C&D two weeks ago, finishing well having suffered a poor run from two out; very much one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won with tongue-tie added in a Stratford handicap (2m, good) last June but he's been well held over hurdles and on the Flat in last two starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Chester last month but his form is patchy and he's still 6lb higher than for his hurdle win; others preferred. |
6/1 |

11th 8 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a low-grade handicap hurdle last summer but this is his first Flat run since 2024, and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |
5/1 |

7th 5 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; ran poorly at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-21 over hurdles but was clear second to a progressive rival on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if judged on that. |
7/2 |
|
5 |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-22 under rules, but having been well supported he ran his best race so far when second of ten on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month (first and fourth have won since); up 5lb but still 1lb well in and shortlisted if building on that. |

Placed in low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy earlier this year; beaten 20l over hurdles on yard debut and then unseated in his first chase; risky. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Placed in two low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy in February/March but was last of six when back over hurdles here (2m, good) for new stable last month and is not bred for chasing. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won over 1m on the Flat in Ireland in 2024, but Olly Murphy was unable to get a win out of him in five runs over hurdles and two on the Flat; sold for 5,500gns to join new yard last month; best watched on stable debut. |

Only fifth of eight on her return to hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) last month, but despite some iffy jumping she was only caught on the run-in; has dropped to a handy mark and could go well; stable also runs Gerard Mentor. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Both wins over hurdles have been over C&D, the latest in September off 6lb lower; will have benefited from his recent pipe-opener when fourth at Market Rasen (2m,good) and should run well. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Dual winner on good ground at Uttoxeter last summer; still in good form when last seen in the autumn and probably still on a workable mark but has fitness to prove after four months off and recent rain reduces his appeal. |
