13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who got off the mark when winning over this C&D (good to firm) in April; runner-up on his next two starts, including here 18 days ago, and he can't be dismissed despite stepping up in class. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up on reappearance at Bath (1m, good) last month then won over C&D (good to firm) before a good second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); arrives at the top of his game and he's a strong contender. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Blotted copybook when veering right and unseating rider soon after the start of a recent bumper but the form of his third here last October (good ground) has worked out quite well; could have a say if all goes to plan on hurdle debut. |
12/1 |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Improved upon September's Worcester debut (2m, good to soft) when third there (2m, good) the following month; was due to contest a Cheltenham Listed race in November only be withdrawn on account of soft ground. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful Flat handicapper) but has made the frame in two Stratford events since rejoining Shark Hanlon, albeit proved no match for a Skelton-trained 11-10 favourite last time; likely to be a similar story today. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has reached the frame in both hurdles starts but beaten 34l and 23l in the process; could be one for handicaps in due course but, in a race lacking depth, he may be capable of hitting the frame again. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-James Ferguson; fair Flat performer (only win was in a 1m4f Catterick handicap on good to firm); quite a promising hurdles debut when third at Uttoxeter last month (2m, good; 10-1); improvement likely. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who gained his win over 1m4f two years ago; back from long layoff with two underwhelming runs for new stable this spring but still has possibilities if he takes well to hurdling at the first attempt. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; not beaten all that far in two of his three races over hurdles, latterly at Bangor in this new headgear combination; should have some role to play. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; encouraging third on hurdling/stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March but he failed to build on that when a remote fourth at Hexham (2m, good); has something to prove after that and this looks tough on the figures; equipment returns including a first-time tongue-tie. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-14 and, apart from one early bid for glory on Polytrack five starts ago, he is mostly struggling to break out of rear this term; opposed. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

13-race maiden whose 2025 and 2026 form (including in handicaps here on last two starts) give him major work to do. |

10th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In the frame in two of his three starts on turf (1m2f, good) since returning in April, albeit well behind the winner each time; has shaped as though this longer trip would suit and worthy of consideration. |
7/2 |
|
4 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best run when just over 13l third to a very smart performer in Redcar novice in April (1m2f, good); subsequently changed hands for 30,000gns; didn't run as well when favourite for a 1m Nottingham maiden last time but could bounce back, upped in trip on his handicap debut. |
9/2 |
Betting Forcast
25/1 Happy Chandler, 40/1 Lucky Diamond, 6/5 Penzance, 6/1 Starshine Legend, 13/2 Bound For Glory, 33/1 Delgany Headline, 5/1 Earnest Belief, 100/1 Majestic Leo, 4/1 Without Burlington
Verdict
Judged on his Flat ability, hurdles debutant WITHOUT BURLINGTON promises to prove better than today’s rivals and will be particularly interesting if the market speaks favourably. Penzance (second choice) and Earnest Belief are solid contenders, while Starshine Legend and Bound For Glory may be capable of improvement.[Steve Boow]
