Olly Murphy Stable Tour

Form profile

139 rated hurdler. Cracking effort in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m 4 1/2f) in March when runner-up, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Wodhooh off a mark of 134.

Trainer says

He was second in the Martin Pipe last year. I don’t know where he will start out, but he could end up being a Pertemps horse and I imagine we will keep him over hurdles for the season. He is not overly big, but he has done well through the summer and is a nice handicapper.

Form profile

Scored by 17 lengths from Protect The Future in a point-to-point in Ireland in May.

Trainer says

He is a sharp horse and a first horse for the Noel Fehily Racing Syndicate. He will start off in a bumper in the coming weeks before going novice hurdling. I am delighted to have my first horse for them.

Form profile

136 rated chaser. Made all when beating Country Mile three and a half lengths in a Beginners’ Chase at Uttoxeter (2m) on Sunday.

Trainer says

He won on his chase debut at Uttoxeter, and he could be a real smart two-mile chaser. There’s a small chance he could go to Cheltenham in October for a two-mile novices’ chase. He is a nice horse who is, hopefully, going to win a nice two-mile novices’ chase.

Form profile

145 rated chaser. Probably best effort last season when third, beaten two lengths, to The Folkes Tiara in a Listed Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse (2m 1f) in November off his current mark when trained by Gordon Elliott.

Trainer says

He is a new horse to me. He has a lot of ability and, hopefully, English racing will suit him a lot better than the Irish circuit. We will start off in a middle-distance handicap chase in mid-November. He might go to Haydock Betfair Chase weekend for a Graduation Chase.

Form profile

Made a winning debut in a point-to-point in Ireland in April when beating The Irish Avatar two and a half lengths.

Trainer says

There was a lot of word about him when he won his point-to-point. He is a lovely big horse, and he will start in a bumper around Christmas.

Form profile

117 rated hurdler. Made a winning debut over hurdles in a novice at Carlisle (2m 4f) in October of last year when scoring by half a length from Grand Geste.

Trainer says

He won on his hurdling debut at Carlisle and was runner-up at Warwick and Leicester. He was found to have choked on the latter occasion and has had his wind operated on. He will run in middle-distance novices’ handicap chases and there should be a lot more to come.

Form profile

131 rated chaser. Ended last season with a length and a quarter success from Vincenzo in the valuable Greatwood Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury (2m 4f) in March off a mark of 126.

Trainer says

He might have a prep run otherwise he will go for the Sir Peter O'Sullevan Handicap Chase at Newbury on Coral Gold Cup weekend. He is a useful horse on his day.

Form profile

149 rated hurdler. Gained his last success in a Grade 2 event at Fairyhouse (2m 4f) in April 2024 when beating Zarak The Brave half a length.

Trainer says

He is back in training as a 12-year-old, and he seems in really good nick. He is going to be hard to place but retains his ability and it would be nice to think we could win a race with him. It would be great to go back and try at Fontwell.

Form profile

Landed a point-to-point in Ireland by a length and a half from King’s Son in April on his first completed start.

Trainer says

He won a point-to-point, and he will start off in a two and a half mile maiden hurdle. He seems a very likeable individual and a horse that will win plenty of races.

Form profile

141 rated chaser. Made a winning debut over fences in a novices’ chase at Leicester (2m 4f) in December when beating Abbeydale 14 lengths and subsequently third, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Shomen Uchi in a similar event at Carlisle (2m 4f) the following month.

Trainer says

He is a good horse, he is just plagued with problems. He is another horse who could start off in the Graduation Chase at Haydock on Betfair Chase Day. He wants soft ground and a trip and if he stays healthy, he is a good horse, but he is hard to train.

Form profile

113 rated hurdler. Off the mark over hurdles at Chepstow (2m) in January when landing a novice event by a length and a half from Nowmelad.

Trainer says

He won a maiden at Chepstow, and he needs experience. He will stay handicapping throughout the season.

Form profile

110 rated hurdler. Made a winning debut over hurdles in a maiden event at Warwick (2m) in November of last year when beating Don’t Mind If I Do half a length.

Trainer says

He won’t be seen until after Christmas as he picked up an injury last season. He has a lot of ability, but it is going to be hard for him running in handicaps with not a lot of experience. He might be a horse for a Swinton Hurdle or something once he gains that experience.

Form profile

119 rated hurdler. Winner of three handicap hurdles last season and ended his season with a six and a half length victory from Rockadenn at Southwell (3m 1/2f) in March off a mark of 114.

He won’t be seen until after Christmas having suffered an injury in the spring. He was unlucky not to win on his last start at Fakenham and is a horse who should be winning races.

Form profile

112 rated hurdler. Scored by two lengths from The Blueberry One in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (2m 4f) in January off a mark of 105.

Trainer says

He won a middle-distance handicap hurdle last season, and he is going to go novice chasing. He jumps a fence ok, and I hope there is room for improvement.

Form profile

Scored by a neck from Leader Crik in a point-to-point in Ireland in May.

He won his point-to-point first time out and seems a likeable type. He stays well and he will either start off in a soft ground bumper or go novice hurdling straight away.

Form profile

122 rated hurdler. Completed a hat-trick in novice hurdles - beating Rumoursareflying six lengths at Wetherby (2m) in December, Noble Park three and a quarter lengths at Sandown (2m) in February and Cornish Comedy by 19 lengths at Taunton (2m 3f) in February.

He is a horse who will be seen when the ground softens. I think he has a real feasible mark and there could be a good handicap in him. He has loads of toe.

Scored by eight lengths from Koukeo in a maiden at Uttoxeter (2m) in December, a length and a quarter from Wellington Arch at Market Rasen (2m 2 1/2f) in January and by two lengths from Regent’s Stroll in a Listed Novice at Exeter (2m 1/2f) in February.

Form profile

Promise in two bumpers and finished third, beaten seven lengths, to Un Sens A La Vie at Market Rasen in February.

Form profile

148 rated hurdler. Gained his last win in the Grade 2 Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock (2m 1/2f) in February when trained by Dan Skelton.

Form profile

Winner of his point-to-point in Ireland in December by two lengths from Crossgales King.

Trainer says

His work is very good, and he will start off in a two-mile maiden hurdle in the coming weeks. He might not want heavy ground and is a horse with a bit of class.

Form profile

126 rated hurdler. Gained his second success over hurdles in a handicap at Ffos Las (2m) in April when beating Stream Of Stars three and a quarter lengths off a mark of 120.

Trainer says

He is still a lot better than his mark and is a big raw horse. We may jump a fence with him, and he does everything right at home. He hasn’t quite achieved what he should have done on the racecourse yet, but could still fulfil that potential.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is a four-year-old owned by Andrew and Kate Brookes and he is going to want a bit of time but has a bit of quality.

Form profile

110 rated hurdler. Off the mark in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen (2m 1/2f) on Boxing Day when beating Diamond Koda a length and a quarter.

Form profile

Trainer says

He ran on Wednesday at Sedgefield and finished second, but he will improve and win his races.

127 rated hurdler. Gained his third win over hurdles last season when scoring by a neck from Spadestep at Perth (2m) in April.

109 rated hurdler. Finished runner-up, beaten three and a half lengths, to Pyleigh Master in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m 4f) in April.

He is a big improver and if he is good enough, I don’t know, but I am half going to train him for a qualifier if he goes on improving.

Form profile

109 rated hurdler. Finished sixth, beaten 16 ½ lengths, to Pure Gold in a handicap hurdle at Perth (2m) in September off a mark of 110.

He is a lot better than his first run suggests as he blew up. He will want two and a half miles in time, but he can win over two miles before we step him up in trip.

Form profile

Finished fourth, beaten two and three quarters of a length, to Suspected in a bumper at Uttoxeter in May.

Trainer says

She ran well in a bumper at Uttoxeter first time out and will have one more run in a bumper before going novice hurdling. She is a likeable mare and will win plenty of races.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse who came to me from Paul Nicholls and ran well in a Ffos Las bumper. He will start off in a two-mile maiden hurdle somewhere at the backend of October/early November.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten 11 lengths, to Mydaddypaddy in a bumper at Huntingdon in March when trained by Tom Weston.
