11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Ridden by Heidi Palin on both outings for current yard, winning at Hexham (good to soft) before finishing a creditable fifth to Bass Hunter at Ascot (soft) when he faded late on; may not have reached his ceiling just yet; one of three contenders for Dan Skelton. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Attracted support and shaped well when second of seven on his bumper debut here (soft; 13-8 favourite) just under a year ago but didn't build on that at Worcester the following month; needs to tap back into that initial promise on this first go over hurdles but that's by no means unlikely. |

29th Mar 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Attracted support and shaped well when second of seven at Hereford (soft; 13-8 favourite) five weeks ago, leading over 3f out and pulling clear with winner; clearly held in some regard and looks a big player again. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In the money but well beaten in his last three starts; cheekpieces are now applied and they need to have a significant impact for him to be successful. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Some bumper promise; well beaten in his four hurdle races, upped to 3m at Uttoxeter (good to soft; 9-1) 11 weeks ago when a remote fourth on handicap debut last time; needed plenty of riding that day; early days but he needs to raise his game, markedly. |

11st 6lb |
0-3 in bumpers and 0-4 over hurdles, but has some respectable form and wasn't himself at Sedgefield last time when held at his point of departure; had a break since Christmas and can go well if back on song. |

11st 2lb |
Son of Frankel who never raced for Godolphin and his bumper form lacked substance. |

Ex-Godolphin; 20,000gns 3yo by Frankel; beaten a long way when fifth of seven on Hereford debut in February (2m, soft; 6-1); likely improver. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Has cut little ice in a trio of runs over hurdles, coming in a well-held sixth of nine in 2m Taunton novice 48 days ago; she needs this switch to handicaps to spark major progress. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who is one to watch in the betting but she's been pulled up at 40-1 and 50-1 in her first two handicaps (2m4f/3m, heavy/good to soft) and a transformation is needed. |
50/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Bred to stay and a market check is advised in first-time cheekpieces; however, she was pulled up at 40-1 on recent handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) and needs to leave that form miles behind. |
33/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden/novice hurdles last year (2m-2m3f) but should have some improvement to come in handicaps and her pedigree suggests the increased emphasis on stamina here will suit. |

36,000euros foal, £60,000 3yo; fourth foal; half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Hawk Stone (RPR 103); dam unraced sister to two useful winners; market check advised on debut but Blue Sky Dreaming could be the stable's first string under Tom Cannon. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

£60,000 3yo; fourth foal; half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Hawk Stone; dam unraced sister to useful 2m-3m hurdle winner Orbys Legend and to 2m7f hurdle/3m chase winner Morning Spirit; wouldn't need to be anything too special to have some say here. |
