23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner who had her consistency rewarded with a 2.25l win at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) and the runner-up has since won at Haydock; a 7lb rise looks manageable. |
9/4 |

1st 6 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Point winner; still seeking the breakthrough under rules (0-9), her latest Catterick effort (2m; runner-up, 8-1, with Zumbi a well-beaten fourth) as good as what she offered at Sedgefield in November; place claims yet again. |
3/1 |

Point winner who is 0-8 under rules but has run some reasonable races over fences and is edging down the weights; each-way possible. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 6yo; improved form since switched to fences, finishing second in 2m handicaps at Ludlow (soft) and Newcastle (good to soft) in recent months; the return to a longer trip won't need to unlock much improvement. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Low mileage 6yo; improved form since switched to fences, doing his best work from the back of the last (mistake two out) when chasing home the subsequent Leicester scorer Falco Des Pins at Ludlow (2m, soft; beaten a neck) latest; 3lb rise justifiable; a major threat. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual C&D winner who should strip fitter following a decent third at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in March; still lightly raced with the promise of more improvement to come. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Winning seasonal reappearance at Hexham (2m, good to soft; from 9lb lower) in November, and has presumably been kept away from the worst of the winter conditions since; that wasn't a particularly strong Class 4 contest but this isn't either, and the chances are he has more to offer; key player. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Hasn't won for ages but nearly put that right when going down by a neck here on Saturday (2m5f, good); Leah Noreci rode then so he's without the 10lb claim this time; still respected with cheekpieces added. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fourth (2023) and eighth (2024) in this race previously, and winless for exactly four years now; place prospects only, therefore, a return to form at Newcastle latest notwithstanding. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Point winner who won a novice hurdle at Cartmel in May 2022 (2m6f, good); has run a couple of fair races over fences, including when fourth over an inadequate 2m here last time; step back up in trip will suit; place chance. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who hasn't offered a great deal since returning from nearly a year out and it's seldom easy for veterans to rediscover their form; however, this is a much easier race than he's accustomed to. |
9/4 |
|
5th 2 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Free-going nature; no win since landing a Class 3 at Newbury (2m, 13-8 joint-favourite) in March 2023; fell at Cheltenham (80-1) on penultimate start and was equally out of his depth in the Grade 2 Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton over Christmas; this is more realistic. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Ex-Olly Murphy; well handicapped on his hurdles form, but hasn't shown much in three runs over fences; pulled up over hurdles on first run back after wind surgery last time; hard to fancy. |
33/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well handicapped on form as recent as last February for Olly Murphy but he's struggled this season and hopes are pinned on the wind operation prompting a dramatic revival. |
50/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won a bumper and a maiden hurdle for Olly Murphy through the formative stages of career; poor (0-2) over fences for that trainer, and yet to hint at revival over hurdles since joining new trainer (0-3); mark in freefall; one of the least likely candidates. |
