1st 7 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie when gaining breakthrough win at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December, his 13th hurdle run, and has been placed on three of his four starts since; would appeal more on ground slower than good but still enters calculations; swaps usual cheekpieces for visor. |

3rd 4 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
The tongue-tie went on for last four starts, breaking his duck in good style at Hereford (3m2f, soft) on first occasion and creditable runner-up in two of his three starts since; the exception can be forgiven on heavy ground at Ffos Las; the tongue-tie is removed this time and he's not proven on good, but otherwise he has solid each-way claims. |

2nd 2 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Broke his duck in good style at Hereford (3m2f, soft) in December, fitted with a tongue-tie, and backed that up with another solid effort behind a big improver at Uttoxeter; can be forgiven recent Ffos Las run where the ground went against him and he's worth considering. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but ran his best race this season with cheekpieces added when an 11l third of six over C&D two weeks ago on his first try at this far; should be thereabouts if repeating the effort. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Still a maiden over hurdles but produced one of his best results over 2m5f, the longest distance he's tackled; modest third over 2m1f last time; combination of new trip and first-time headgear may have positive effect. |
8/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-6 over hurdles but ran well in all three handicaps last season, most recently when second (albeit well held) behind heavily backed rival at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in February; at least each-way claims if ready to roll. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |

Remains without a win and she came in a below-par fifth of nine in 3m1f handicap at Huntingdon last month; others appeal more. |
10/1 |
|
5th 10 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
11-race maiden; easily best effort this season was over 2m in October, four starts back; upped to 3m1f at Plumpton latest but finished 19l behind runner-up Glengolly; 2lb out of the handicap; major work to do. |
25/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Form has slumped back up in trip on both runs since an encouraging return at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October; needs the step up to 3m to spark a revival. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who launched chasing career with two good efforts, latterly when second to Felton Bellevue over C&D (soft) in February; ran in snatches and was disappointing over hurdles here a fortnight ago but might travel better in first-time cheekpieces today and could still have potential over fences. |
11/4 |

5th 3 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced maiden over hurdles who has showed improved form since switched to fences on last two starts; not yet fully exposed and reverts to hurdles off what may prove to be a workable mark. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Seven-race maiden hurdler who was runner-up twice in Lingfield handicaps over their extended 2m3f but underperformed there next time and trailed Glengolly and The Last Drop at Plumpton (upped to 3m1f) on latest start; 7lb out of the handicap. |
14/1 |

6th 9 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Six-race maiden hurdler who has reached the frame on his last three runs since switched to handicaps, albeit beaten 31l at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) latest; from out of the weights he needs something extra for a first success today but he has place claims. |
7/1 |

3rd 7 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Very modest form in qualifying runs; has chased home an improved rival in two C&D handicaps (good to soft) since but he's back to racing from well out of the weights again so plenty more needed. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten in all three hurdle races this season and now 0-12 in that sphere; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor on this chasing debut; 4lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hereford winner over fences (2m5f, good to soft) in 2024 who was also second over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) that year; missed 2025 and fell on his stable debut in February but there were signs he retained ability despite finishing last of five here (about 2m5f, soft) last month; possibilities in a thin event. |
9/2 |

5th 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chase winner for Pat Murphy; was entitled to have needed his recent stable debut after almost two years off but was weakening out of it at Plumpton, behind Junior Des Mottes, when coming down at the second last. |
8/1 |
|

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
2m5f chase winner and has the better form in that discipline, but he's not yet fully exposed over hurdles and his 7l second over C&D in May 2024 was a fair effort on final start for Pat Murphy; makes stable debut returning from a long absence and probably best watched. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Veteran; seven-time C&D winner, but latest success was back in 2024 and he hasn't been at his best on the Flat this year. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Seven wins over 2m on the AW here; getting on and lacks consisency now; hard to recommend having twice been pulled up over hurdles latterly. |
16/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had lots of Flat racing and won eight times; has yet to offer a great deal over jumps (0-7) but soft ground was no good to him here last time; others are still far more convincing. |
