8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four chase wins, the latest from the front off reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in February; just a respectable third of five at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month but could be hard to catch if able to dominate here. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when making all to exploit reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last month; went back up 8lb for that but this right-handed track should also suit; likely contender. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Reappeared with a win at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and 8l second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) since behind a rejuvenated winner; has won on soft/heavy ground; could give another good account. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Gained second win over fences when scoring at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) last time; up 5lb but has won on testing ground so further rain would suit and one to consider. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon in April (2m, good) and improved on his first try over fences when 1.75l third over C&D last time (soft); contender. |
5/2 |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt, easily justifying skinny odds in modest Huntingdon maiden (2m, good) in April; tackles stronger opposition and has fitness to prove on this chasing debut but still has possibilities if he takes well to fences. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 |
11th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Slightly disappointing when only fifth at Fontwell (2m1f, good) a fortnight ago and now 0-7 over hurdles but ran well from the front when close second at Southwell (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has strong claims in a modest race here. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Weakened to be beaten 22l last time at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and all his three wins have been at about 2m; wouldn't be the obvious answer no matter how well the new headgear works. |
25/1 |

4th 3 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won for the third time over fences at Worcester in October (2m, good; by 18l); has a chance on that run but best form has been at shorter (jumped poorly when well beaten on last completed run at 2m4f); acts on good to soft but he's not a real mudlark. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Consistent sort who won twice over fences last term; stable's first runner over fences this season and may have more to give. |

Ex-Olly Murphy; yet to win for current yard and now back from another lengthy break; others preferred. |
25/1 |

5th 1 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three chases for Ollie Murphy, two of them three-runner races over C&D; yet to win for current yard but he was a creditable third at Stratford (2m5f, good) when last seen in October; all wins on good ground. |
10/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won on good ground at Southwell (2m4f) and Uttoxeter (2m5f) in final two runs for Olly Murphy; no impact in four starts for current yard but he wasn't beaten far in a Class 2 at Bangor (3m) last time and is now back on last winning mark; could be dangerous with Sean Bowen booked on this drop back in trip and grade. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
2m1f chase win off today's mark in 2023 is his contribution to the Greatrex yard's 40% strike-rate with chasers here; mostly solid efforts this year since returning from absence, and the slight rise back up in trip is a likely plus having found it all happening too quickly at Plumpton latest (cheekpieces added, retained). |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Scored three times over fences (at up to 2m4f) in the first half of 2023; quite lightly raced since but comes here on the back of a good third of nine in 2m5f handicap chase at Hereford 25 days ago; needs considering with cheekpieces added. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time chase winner who is well handicapped on old form and returned from long absence with fairly encouraging run in February; only third best on merit when well-held second of five at Doncaster (2m3f, good) later that month but still considered here. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Winner at Market Rasen in June (2m5f, good; first-time hood; three ran); hasn't run as well since, having been pulled up at Newbury on latest chase run and then tailed off on the AW; bit to prove. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures. |
