27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Started off for Olly Murphy with three hurdle wins this spring (2m6f-2m7f); well beaten on chasing debut in July but travelled strongly for a long way before fading into fourth at Stratford (3m3f, good to firm) last month, and today's drop back in trip looks the right move; shortlisted. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Started off for Olly Murphy with three hurdle wins this spring (2m6f-2m7f) and also ran well when upped to 3m2f here for next outing; well beaten when ridden much more patiently than usual on last month's chasing debut but runs this track very well and could still have a future over fences. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); returned to form with a string of good efforts in the autumn but absent since pulled up in Fakenham marathon just before Christmas and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Looked set to finish second before last-fence unseat at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March and bumped into revitalised subsequent winner when second at Fakenham (3m5f, good) last month; went close in 2024 edition of this race on only previous visit to Fontwell; good chance. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Soundly beaten in February, after a layoff, but looked set to finish second before last-fence mishap at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month, and this move back up in trip will probably suit (placed over 3m3f last summer). |
3/1 |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
All three chase wins have come over 3m at Southwell (good/soft) and latest was off 2lb higher last January; well held at Southwell last month but he may have needed that run after six months off and he's a player if he can get back near best. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
High-mileage mare who is not very consistent but has collected two wins this season, the latter at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) 24 days ago; not yet fully exposed over marathon trips; a possible if in the right mood again. |
4/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Managed to see off two other finishers at Warwick (3m1f, good) in May, but she was well beaten at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last time; record of 2-38 under rules makes others look more attractive. |
16/1 |

6th 4 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not always one to rely upon but returned from break with three good efforts in the spring, the most notable a game win at Warwick (3m1f, good) two starts ago; has possibilities if she continues to hold her form. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beat Testlight here in July but not in their rematch; bounced off the fast ground when winning well at Stratford 12 days ago to earn this 8lb higher mark; had some soft-ground form back in the day. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual point winner this spring; well beaten over hurdles on rules return in June but won comfortably when back over fences at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month and ran well in defeat over that C&D a fortnight later; likely contender again. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced maiden who is 1lb out of the handicap but he's finished third on two of his last three starts (3m/3m3f, good to soft/good to firm) and might be in with an each-way shout. |
12/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-8 under all codes; bettered disappointing chase/handicap debut when very respectable third at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in February and could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip but was back in the doldrums on latest outing in April and was given another wind operation (his third) soon afterwards; not easy to predict. |
