1st 7 |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
6yo whose form has been patchy in his light career but he won at 4-1 on his handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in August, which was his second run for Olly Murphy (July's stable debut came after a long absence); unexposed and an 8lb rise may not stop him today. |

1st 7 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-3 over hurdles for three different stables; not beaten far when seventh of eight at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on last month's debut for Olly Murphy and now moves back up in trip for first handicap; improvement possible. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Disappointed when favourite at Hexham three weeks ago but was clear second to another handicap debutant here (2m3f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in August and has good claims if judged on that performance. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Soundly beaten in all three qualifying races last season but displayed significant improvement when clear second to another handicap debutant at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in August; good chance. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 13 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Makes handicap debut from a lowly mark but showed no significant promise in his three qualifying races in February/March (2m-2m4f); sports first-time cheekpieces; improvement required. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-13 over hurdles but went down fighting when close second at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May and again ran well at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month; well suited by ground slower than good; high on the list. |
7/2 |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Three runs since wind surgery and the blip came over fences; clear second at Southwell last time (2m4f, good) and might well have won had he not fluffed the last flight; should run well off just 3lb higher. |
100/30 |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up after sketchy round of jumping on chasing debut in February and now reverts to hurdling; given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere but his record is not compelling and he has raced mainly on ground slower than good. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times under Sean Bowen (once over C&D) in 2025; well below best on all four appearances this year but has slipped to a good mark and the champion jockey evidently still has faith in him; revival possible. |
10/1 |
|

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year, off today's mark over C&D on last occasion; out of form on last four outings, however, and a major revival is needed on this second start after wind surgery; tongue-tie (last used in 2024) returns. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Back from mammoth absence with three runs this summer and he's failed to complete in two of them; dropped another 3lb but was pulled up at Worcester (2m7f, good to soft) last time and he needs a transformation on this big drop back in trip. |
10/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Back from mammoth absence with two runs this summer; looked held when falling on first occasion but last month's fifth at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) was much more encouraging, and he might take another step forward if his stamina holds out here. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Won on the Flat in France last year and subsequently showed hurdling ability against own age-group in Britain; returned from layoff with two very underwhelming Flat runs this summer but remains very unexposed over jumps. |

5th 4 (1) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won on the Flat in France last June; mixed form for new yard over hurdles towards the end of last year and tailed off at 33-1 at Epsom three weeks ago when back on the Flat; market check advised but has plenty to prove. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had wind surgery prior to posting one of her better efforts last time (2m4f) but isn't guaranteed to build on it, being an inconsistent maiden; again out of the weights. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-8 over hurdles but recent handicap form (2m1f-2m4f) has been very respectable and he seems versatile ground-wise; considered each-way. |
10/1 |

5th 6 |
17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Moderate form so far but should be suited by trying this trip for the first time; does need improvement but it would be no surprise if he finds some. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Finished 11l behind the reopposing John Betjeman when fourth here latest and needs to improve on what we have seen so far to take a hand. |

0-16 over hurdles; struggled on this month's chasing debut and refused to race at Market Rasen a few days later (race won by Grain Trade); hooded for first time here; 10lb wrong; cannot be recommended. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Latest effort readily ignored (saddle slipped) but showed nothing on two previous starts for current connections; theoretical encouragement for this switch to fences as a nephew of Texas Jack and Drumconvis. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Nine-race maiden who had a poor record for Clare Ellam last year (four runs); makes debut for latest new stable (same owner) after 254-day absence; big leap of faith required to support him. |
25/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Not fully exposed after only seven starts but was pulled up on consecutive appearances for this new stable in February (2m4f/2m7f) and returns from 196-day break with lots to prove. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Just 1-26 over hurdles, and consistency since last September's 2m3f success here (good) has kept him 7lb above that winning mark; vulnerable to improvers but stronger podium claims than most. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
11yo who belatedly opened his account here (2m2f, good) in September, his 21st start over hurdles, and has remained in good form since; probably won't be far away but younger rivals have more potential. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 |
15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Course regular who is 1-27 under rules, though the win came over C&D (good) in September; still 8lb higher and more exposed than most, but should still run his race back from a short break. |

With a good stable and still very lightly raced but was pulled up when 33-1 for handicap debut here (2m5f, good) one year ago and has not raced again since; had wind op last September. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in her three qualifying races (all 2m) but is open to improvement in handicaps and her pedigree suggests today's step up in trip will suit. |
