27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all for Fergal O'Brien here (2m5f, good) six weeks ago, his third start since returning to racing under rules; subsequent 5lb rise ought to be manageable if he continues in good form for new stable. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Winning UK pointer (2m5f/3m; good); beaten 24l by Ribeye over 3m here last time (soft) but is now 8lb better off and should fare better on this faster ground. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Early promise in a bumper and novice hurdle for this yard but failed to fulfil it; two point wins for another trainer (along with some lesser efforts) over an 18-month spell ending in May but he dropped out back with Fergal O'Brien in June and goes chasing with a question to answer. |

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. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Was running quite well over fences until last time when pulled up; has a higher hurdle mark despite being a maiden in this discipline but if back on song he should be competitive in this bad a race. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Probably fortunate to win off today's mark over C&D (good to soft; leader fell at final fence) in October, but that was still a good effort and his next two runs were respectable; contender if tuned up after 97-day break. |

13-race maiden but came close to breaking his duck when a close second at the fourth attempt over fences at Huntingdon (2m7.5f; good) this month; back up 2lb but has less to prove than most. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has not really kicked on from his front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in the spring but his Newton Abbot third (3m2f, good) in July was a good effort and this return to a right-handed track will suit. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Came good with front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April but his last couple of runs (2m/2m4f) were substandard and he tackles this new trip with some questions to answer. |

Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from three-month break with respectable fourth here (2m3f, soft) in March last time and will be fine over this longer trip, but he's not really been firing on all cylinders since last summer; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break. |

Won a chase over 3m in September and nearly won another two runs back; produced a solid effort in defeat on his return to hurdling here last week and Sean Bowen rides again. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Gained a breakthrough win over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in September and posted a good second in handicap chase at Leicester (2m7f) when last seen out in December; proved reliable over hurdles so rates a player back in this sphere off a reduced mark. |

Won Irish point in spring 2023 but showed only minor promise in four novice/maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m5f) for Sam Thomas/Sara Bradstock since; given another wind op (his second) before this stable/handicap/chase debut; tongue-tie refitted; considered only if lively in the betting. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made low-key stable debut over hurdles last month and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on subsequent chasing debut; 2lb wrong for this quick return to hurdling but it won't be a surprise if he gets his act together for his respected new training partnership soon; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces |

Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles three weeks ago and is now 0-12 in that sphere but it won't be a surprise if he comes good for his respected new training partnership soon; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers on this chasing debut; 2lb wrong; watch the betting. |

Stayed on to snatch third over hurdles at Stratford (2m6f, good) in March but was tailed off in 2m5f chase won by St Patricks Bridge here last month and is effectively 2lb higher from out of the weights today; needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

Has won three UK points, the first for today's rider Alice Stevens; didn't shape with much promise in two hunter chases but turned in a sound effort when third in a Stratford handicap hurdle in March on latest start (2m6f, good); not ruled out. |
6/1 |

Three-time point winner who has achieved little under rules and not ideal that he's 4lb wrong at the weights. |
