24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
He was lucky to win his maiden 14 months ago and is now 0-5 in handicaps after pulling up at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft); others have more going for them. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fortunate winner (left in the lead three out) of a 2m1f maiden here in January 2025; fared slightly better than at Haydock previously when fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, soft; beaten 12l) a fortnight ago; steadily easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Had a solid spell at maiden/novice level last winter but form dipped in the spring and he was well beaten last month after an eight-month break; stamina not proven and ground worse than good to soft looks a problem. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer; off since September; likely to be better for the run. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Came good over hurdles at third attempt, with clearcut success at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in June, and added a Flat win one month later; could still have untapped potential over jumps; one to consider. |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't hang about over hurdles and now 2-2 over fences, the latter win gained at Sandown (3m, soft) in March; withdrawn three times since then with good ground deemed unsuitable but his first two wins (one over hurdles) were gained on good; probably still has more improvement to come; must be considered. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m3f, good/good to soft) last year; needs help from the first-time cheekpieces on this handicap debut. |

28th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
There's potential in his pedigree but he was tailed off at 100-1 on last month's debut at Doncaster and is probably best watched for now. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
£10,000 3yo; seventh foal; brother to bumper winner Getagin (RPR 103), closely related to useful bumper/2m hurdle winner Crooks Peak, half-brother to 2m hurdle winner I'm So Busy (125); could have a future but will need to be useful to make a winning debut in this good race. |

Not beaten far when eighth of nine in Wetherby bumper this month on his second start but his claims aren't compelling on his hurdle debut. |

1st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Tailed off at a big price on his Southwell debut (2m, good) last spring and can only be watched on return for new yard. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
1-10 for current stable over the last year, the win gained off today's mark at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in November; needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort over that C&D last month but ran quite well in a valuable series final two starts ago and is of interest here. |

11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Skelton mare who is 1-9 for current yard; not disgraced in a better race at Warwick (3m1f, good) last time and could have a part to play. |
7/1 |

3rd 11 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ex-Skelton mare who is 1-8 for current yard and she's been plying her trade at a lower level; 2lb out of the weights; others much preferred. |
25/1 |
