Prince Imperial (G)
Won 4 times over hurdles in 2024/25 and signed off for Olly Murphy with a creditable third at Bangor (23.2f) in September. Heavy defeats both starts for this yard and lots to prove minus headgear.

Beau Quali (G)
Won a "match" on chase debut in October and wasted no time getting back on track reverting to hurdling when good second over C&D a month later, pulling clear of rest with an unexposed stable-switcher. Heavy defeat at Doncaster since and he…

Pike Road (G)
[P]
Looked likely winner when unseating on second chase start at Ludlow and quickly made amends under a well-judged ride to win 7-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) in November. Shaped as though still in form both starts at Chel…

Thankyourluckystar (G)
Won at Worcester in May but has struggled both starts since, pulling up at Warwick before running ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (33/1) 35 days ago, going with no zest and labouring.

Firm But Fair (G)
£60,000 purchase after finishing third in an Irish point in April. Showed promise on hurdling debut despite greenness, then third of 4 in maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter 33 days ago, still in need of experience. Makes handicap debut and remains…

Eureka Creek (M)
Winless since 2022 but she started out for new yard (formerly with Emma Lavelle) with a good third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good to soft) in October. Ridden with much more restraint when making no impact over fences a mont…

Jackpot Cash (G)
[H]
Had a purple patch in the spring but has been below that form since, fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Leicester (11/4) 36 days ago. Tongue strap removed returned to hurdling and he's back on a tempting mark.

[T]
Has returned to form after needing the run following 13 months off at Market Rasen in November, third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (9/2) 34 days ago on first try over 23.9f. Drop back in distance won't inconvenience and he needs taki…

Motazzen (G)

Has 3 placed efforts from 4 completed starts since completing a hurdles hat-trick last winter, most recently third of 14 at Fontwell (14/1) 22 days ago despite meeting trouble. Can remain competitive.
