24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Six-race maiden over hurdles but ran respectably in his handicaps and this dual point winner could well do better over fences; has been off since January but one to consider, especially if at all strong in the betting. |
4/1 |

5th 9 |
22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Record of 2-8 in point-to-points; good second at Aintree on handicap hurdle debut (3m, soft); kept on late when 6l fifth of nine at Ascot two weeks later; British trainer's first runner at the track; watch the betting. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
2-8 in Irish points last year; made quite promising rules debut when staying-on fourth at Warwick (2m, good) in March and ought to be better suited by the stiffer stamina test here; could have a say. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
0-7 but he ran his best race so far when front-running second in a chase handicap at Taunton (2m, good to soft; cheekpieces added) last month; that was only his second run over fences and he's a big player if he can build on that. |
5/2 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who has had two races since returning from a year out and his handicap/chase debut at Bangor last time was forgettable; now in cheekpieces and others look safer. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |

By Getaway out of a sister to the useful bumper/2m hurdle winner Quick Grabim; changed hands for £120,000 at Cheltenham in December after justifying favouritism from 12 rivals in an Irish point on soft ground; new stable wins its share of bumpers; not ruled out. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Chasing type who followed a solid hurdles debut in October by stepping up to win a Newbury novice (about 2m5f, soft) one month later; showed a good attitude that day and it was a fine effort when chasing home No Drama This End in the Grade 1 Challow over that C&D (good) towards the end of December; has work to do to turn those tables but he's the sort to outrun his likely odds. |
40/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Shaped with significant promise in two heavy-ground Irish points in early 2024 but this rules debut comes after a long absence and others in the line-up have more pressing claims. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Soundly beaten when upped to Grade 2 level last month (race in which Whiskey Yankee finished fifth) but had shown useful form beforehand, notably when winning by over 8l at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) two starts ago; can cope with this drop back in trip and has a big role to play. |

9th 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
3m point runner-up who built upon the promise of his first two hurdle starts (2m4f, soft) with comfortable win in four-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; this is a much tougher test of his credentials but he looked good last time and could be involved. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 but placed over hurdles on his last three starts (2m, soft/good to soft) and that puts him high on the list in a race that might not take much winning; ran well on good ground in a bumper. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden who has shown better hurdles form, namely third-place finishes over 2m at Newbury and Exeter, since having wind surgery; again holds place claims. |
11/2 |

3rd 10 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Well beaten on both hurdling starts in the autumn but, after a wind op, belied 125-1 odds when third of 11 at Newbury (2m, soft) last month; won't be far away if in similar form again here. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Displayed improvement to score on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m6f) last month but raced too freely and was a disappointing favourite when well-held third at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) three weeks ago; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Outpaced when 11l behind second-placed Getaway With You on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) before devouring the near-2f longer distance at Ffos Las (heavy); sharper track than either of those isn't necessarily a plus, but this latest step up in trip is and a 6lb rise looks about right. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner for Olly Murphy in 2024 but has failed to complete in all five hurdle starts, including when pulled up on last month's handicap/stable debut; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces but hard to recommend. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Won a bumper for Olly Murphy; pulled up in his latest maiden on soft ground but was running well on good at his point of departures previously; has since left Alison Thorpe and makes stable/handicap debut after a lengthy break; market could be revealing. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Weakened late on (shaped better than bare result) in the 3m Grade 1 novice hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival; won with plenty to spare at Newbury (soft) the time before, taking 2m4f record under rules to 311, and may have more to offer over this distance; interesting handicap debutant. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
This 6yo is a big lad with a bright future ahead of him; it's unlikely that Windsor played to his strengths when well behind Moneygarrow and he then stayed on much the best in a Newbury novice last month (extended 2m4f, soft); however, that latest race had no depth and the odds-on favourite wasn't on his game; this is a huge hike in class. |
66/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |

Bumper winner; made all at Leicester (2m4f, soft) and didn't appear to get home over 3m in a useful novice at Windsor; again has the penalty but this looks more suitable; holds the 2m5f/3m novice entries at Cheltenham. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
3m point winner on soft; he was 1-6 for his novice win in December (just under 3m on good to soft) and it was a laboured effort last time behind Thedeviluno at Doncaster; he's not crying out to be backed. |
66/1 |

5th 12 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |

Has raced only twice under rules and easily justified favouritism at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) on the latest occasion; very unexposed and could make his mark at this higher level; interesting. |
6/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Half-brother to useful Irish jumper Dime A Dozen; off the mark in Irish points at third attempt, with wide-margin win on soft ground in March, and will need to be taken seriously if strong in the betting before this rules debut. |

Absent since three rather underwhelming chase runs in France last autumn (sold for 28,000euros) but was placed behind two smart rivals (runner-up a subsequent Grade 1 winner) on hurdling debut at Auteuil (1m7f, heavy) in April 2024 and it will be interesting to see how he fares on this British debut. |

It was her first placing when runner-up at Exeter (2m, good) but she was some 25l off the winner; fell early here two weeks ago; has enough to prove on balance, though she does probably stay this far. |
