27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Seven-race maiden for the Gosdens but suffered a few near misses at up to 1m6f; made a quiet stable debut on the Flat (tongue tied after wind surgery) but that was in a strong handicap at York; could make a hurdler. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Second or third every time in September-January in his seven races for the Gosdens, most AW; tried as far as 1m6f and in two forms of headgear; sold for 65,000gns in February and has now had wind surgery and has his tongue tied first time; competitive mark in theory but clearly questions to answer. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021; close second off 2lb higher to Jam Lass in this race last year but modest over hurdles this term for new yard and tailed off at 100-1 when back to Flat 18 days ago; cheekpieces (worn for most of 2025) get their first airing this year. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Modest RPRs at best switched to hurdles this year for new yard; hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021 but went close off current mark at Redcar last October in most recent Flat run. |
12/1 |

9th 3 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well held when third in C&D maidens on last two hurdling starts but ran well to a point both times and has been given a wind op since; smart on the Flat at his best (fourth in 2022 Derby) and open to improvement over hurdles on this handicap debut. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Improved to cause 25-1 surprise in C&D (good) novice last month, her fourth start over hurdles, but the value of that form is open to question (market principals disappointed) and her opening handicap mark probably demands further progress. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won races at up to 1m4f for Kevin Ryan; has struggled badly over hurdles this year and was tailed off back on the Flat last time after wind surgery; a tongue-tie returns (no clear significance) with cheekpieces tried; lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
10th 3 (12) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Three Flat wins during his time with Kevin Ryan, including beating Roland Garros in this race (good; also won on good to soft) off 3lb lower under Henry Callan 12 months ago; has struggled badly over hurdles for Lizzie Quinlan in 2026 so his hopes are pinned on a recent wind operation and a return to the Flat sparking a revival. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fair Flat racer with three middle-distance wins on his CV; yet to show any significant promise after four hurdle starts this year but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and some of that Flat ability may yet transfer to this discipline; watch the betting. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |
33/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Low-grade Flat winner for another stable last year; still unexposed over hurdles and wasn't given a hard time when fifth of 12 over C&D (good; beaten about 21l) on recent handicap debut, having almost lost his jockey when stumbling on the home turn. |
14/1 |

5th 3 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Low-grade Flat winner who has shaped with some promise in two completed hurdle starts, most recently when a 14l third at Hexham (2m, good) in June; needs to take a step forward on handicap debut but receives a handy weight-for-age allowance. |
