9th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
2023 novice winner; 0-10 since, pipped over C&D in November but beating only one home in 1m4f Southwell handicap 20 days ago; needs to bounce back and, having worn cheekpieces on those last two starts, he now sports a visor. |

Consistent sort who has been knocking on the door recently, latest when second of nine at Lingfield (1m2f; 9-2) last month when beaten a head in first-time cheekpieces (retained); steps back up in trip and holds claims. |

Won over 1m6f at Redcar in August but hasn't given himself a chance in two subsequent races after pulling hard, with and without the hood; risky. |

Ran below market expectations, having raced freely, last time when bidding for a Redcar double (1m6f); upped further in distance but may settle better and rebound with hood reapplied. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
5yo who won at Southwell (2m, good) in June on second chase start and has been runner-up at Worcester (2m, good) on last two outings, bumping into an improved winner most recently; stayed well on the Flat and he's been shaping as though this step back up in trip could prompt further improvement. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 |
26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Easy winner on second chase start at Southwell (2m, good) in June and can be forgiven his odds-on defeat a few days later; back on song with a C&D second to Rocks Up Late last month; up 1lb and needs a bit of luck in running but he's still open to progress and commands respect. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Off the mark over fences at second attempt, cruising clear by 13l at Southwell (2m, good) in June; flopped when odds-on to follow up a few days later but has been given a longer break since and remains of strong interest. |

It remains to be seen what he is capable of on turf after just two novice events and a heavy-ground 1m handicap, all in 2023 (well held in each); trail has gone cold since an okay winter on Tapeta, however. |

2nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 3 |

Second foal of owner's French Oaks winner Star Of Seville; he showed ability on the Flat for the Gosdens, winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; RPR 77) in October, and he's joined another top yard for his hurdling career; could play a leading role on stable debut. |

11st 6lb |
Won at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November on final run for Micky Hammond and again ran well when third on recent stable debut there (2m1f, good to soft), where shaping as though this longer trip would be worth exploring. |
4/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins for Micky Hammond, the latest a C&D handicap in November (soft; beat That One by 5.5l); progressive sort who should go well on stable debut despite 7lb rise; tongue-tie on for the first time. |

10th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Unexposed 4yo; sound effort when second over C&D on latest start in May (good to soft; not best of runs); had Three Platoon behind in third that day and fourth has won since, so form is fair; visor now replaces blinkers; respected. |

6th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unexposed filly; made fairly encouraging handicap debut when sixth over 1m6f here in September but was well beaten over that trip here last month; drops back to 1m4f with tongue-tie fitted today. |
10/1 |
|
9th 20 |
7th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
8st 11lb

Unexposed compared to nearly all of today's rivals; moving up to 1m6f here when 18-1 for handicap debut in September sparked some improvement on latest start, leading briefly over 2f out; needs to build on that. |
