24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
No immediate improvement for a switch to handicap company when fourth of nine over 2m5f at Haydock (good to soft) seven weeks ago but it's still early days for a good stable with a very strong Perth record. |
5/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not seen since struggling in good-quality Newbury maiden in November but significant positives can be drawn from his first two hurdle runs (both 2m); up in trip for this handicap debut and open to improvement. |
5/1 |

8th 3 |
17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner (yielding) who bettered his disappointing bumper debut when third of six at Taunton (heavy) in February; probably needs to improve again to make a winning hurdle debut but riding arrangements suggest he's the pick of Olly Murphy's four runners. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Barely had to be nudged out to make a winning start to his handicap career at Exeter (2m2f, good) last Friday; the extra yardage here should help if anything and he'll take a bit of stopping under a 7lb penalty if showing up in a similar mood. |

1st 4 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed in a good-ground bumper on debut last year; not devoid of promise in three starts over hurdles; longer trip at this stiff track should help to bring his stamina into play, from what looks a fair mark on handicap debut; interesting. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Showed clear promise in both bumpers and on both hurdling starts, most recently when well-held third at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; needs to improve to threaten the principals here, though. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has shown bits of form that give him claims, such as when third at Perth (2m4f, good) in April, but pulled up at Hexham (2m7f, good) last month; his mark continues to fall but he needs to show more consistency. |
20/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden over hurdles but produced his best effort yet when third at Perth (2m4f, good) latest; 1lb lower now and he's one to consider if able to back that up. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Below par on the AW this year and again failed to fire when last of five on the Flat at Carlisle (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; however, his earlier fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, good) was more encouraging and gives him a chance of making the frame now down in trip. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes. |
12/1 |

6th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February, latterly to The Coffey Boy; does need to shrug off two lesser runs since, though. |
11/1 |

6th 5 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made all and held on narrowly from Velvet Vulcan in conditional jockeys' race at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in February; not in the same form when fifth over 2m back at Ayr since but the return to 2m4f may see him in a better light. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made all and held on narrowly from Velvet Vulcan in conditional jockeys' race at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last time, opening his rules account; raised 4lb but William Maggs, who keeps the ride, can use his 5lb claim this time; open to further progress in any case and looks likely to be as effective back down in distance; respected. |

10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |

Irish point winner last February; best run over hurdles when 12l second to a progressive subsequent winner over 2m1f at Sedgefield last time (good to soft); interesting on that run. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Remains winless and he has been well below form in handicaps at Perth (2m4f) and Hexham (2m) this spring since undergoing wind surgery; others appeal more. |

4th 3 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ordinary form in bumpers; has improved since going hurdling, best run when third in a Carlisle novice in October (2m1f, good); bit disappointing this year, including on handicap debut on first run after a second wind op last time (2m4f, good); bit to prove now. |
12/1 |

8th 4 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Disappointing in maiden hurdles on his last two outings but showed a bit of promise in similar races prior to that and has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut; also refitted with the tongue-tie he wore in bumpers. |

0-11 over hurdles and prone to clumsy jumping; belied 33-1 odds when second at Perth (2m, good) last month and didn't run badly over 2m4f there 16 days ago but others look less risky. |
12/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Ran one of his best races since going handicapping when second to Betteryouthanme (who's now 4lb worse off for just over 1l) over 2m at Hexham last time (good; 33-1); has run creditably at this trip; a possible. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Placed off 5lb higher at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April but has very mixed record over hurdles and is sometimes a clumsy jumper; safely held on last two outings; others look much safer. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on 3m course handicap debut last June (final start for Gary Rutherford) and fared little better for new yard at Ayr (3m again) seven months later; hopes are pinned on a shorter trip helping after a further 101 days off. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
