24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bagged a pair of 2m4f Hexham wins in the spring and comes here on the back of a good second of seven to Dream's Ka over C&D last month; enjoys a 2lb weights pull here, so very much one to consider. |
9/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
10yo who had two wins at Hexham (soft/good) this spring before a backward step when bidding to complete his hat-trick over that 2m4f; ridden by Charlie Maggs on last four starts; each-way candidate. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Bidding for a C&D hat-trick having won here on last two starts (soft/good); has gone up 9lb but has run well off much higher marks in the past; could go well. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 80y |
10st 7lb |
Won over hurdles and fences in Britain on soft/heavy; standout effort for current yard came over here last month when coming home strongly to be beaten a nose in 2m5f handicap hurdle, after being a bit short of room and having to be switched in closing stages; up 3lb for that but should go well. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day on second start back from an absence and runner-up to progressive winners on next two starts (2m4f, soft); could still have more to offer himself and he's high on the list. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day on second start back from a long absence and close second at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) last month behind one who was completing a hat-trick; Jay Tidball, who has been on board on his last two starts, remains in the saddle; solid claims. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
His second run back from a long absence when nicely on top in the finish at Windsor (2m4f, good; Jay Tidball claimed his 5lb); a 5lb rise isn't overly offputting but he does seem particularly effective on goodish ground. |
5/1 |
Verdict
Gardener was raised 10lb for winning a race that fell to bits here two weeks ago and there could be some value in taking him on. All the alternatives come with some risks, but JUPITER DU GITE is a talented if headstrong 5yo who might just fancy the challenge of fences.[Alistair Jones]
