2nd 9 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won a bumper in May 2024; 0-15 as a hurdler for Gillian Boanas but had his share of seconds and thirds, including over 3m; £12,500 sale in March was quickly followed by wind surgery and, although usual headgear is dispensed with, new trainer Dan Skelton has something to work with; one to note. |

3rd 3 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Lost out in a tight finish over C&D (soft) in December and creditable third to Big Storm Brewing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; fine on good ground) on latest outing; hurdles score has gone to 0-14, though. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Sedgefield bumper winner (2m1f, good) in May 2024; runner-up (beaten 2l) in a division of this last year, and lost out in a tight finish at Musselburgh (3m) in December; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) next time; must enter the thinking in a weak race. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps at Southwell in late 2024 but he didn't match that form in three starts last year and left Archie Watson for 5,000gns in October; yard (also runs Shipshape) won this with a 33-1 shot last year and this one is likely to be a similar price. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual 1m4f winner here who ran poorly when last seen eight months ago (was withdrawn a week later, when found to be coughing, which may have had something to do with it); interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in Sedgefield bumper; poor form on the Flat (1m-1m3f) and not that appealing on handicap debut with tongue-tie added. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (9) |
7th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Placed in Sedgefield bumper; hasn't fared so well in two middle-distance events on Flat but shapes as if this drop in trip may help. |
66/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
29th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Didn't run for the Gosden yard; fair effort in a Sedgefield bumper before tailed off (1m2f, soft) behind Kildare Legend and Hardy Bloke on his Flat debut early in the month; is likely a long-term handicap project. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Beaten only about 4l when fourth in good-ground course bumper in May but was remote when filling same position at Ayr (good to soft) last month and needs to improve to pose a threat on this hurdling debut. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Drew clear to clear by 9l over C&D (good) in April, his third hurdling success, and is now only 2lb above that mark but looked out of sorts on his latest outing and is not one to rely upon heavily. |
13/2 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when scoring by 9l at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April and also has a C&D success on his CV but was unable to land a telling blow on his two starts at Hexham last month and needs to kick on again to overcome current mark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Reliable 6yo who has continued in good heart since scoring at Catterick (3m1f, good) in January and produced a career-best when back on the scoresheet at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; failed to land a blow over C&D latest and has something to find with My Boy Christy, though he remains one for the shortlist in the context of the race. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Fourth of 12 in a point bumper at Garthorpe three weeks ago; that should have taught her something and interesting to see how she fares on this rules debut. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Not beaten far in her first two bumpers in 2024 but finished down the field on her latest outing, and this hurdling debut comes after a 519-day absence; hood refitted. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-8 over hurdles, having ended last season with some disappointing efforts; 3lb out of the weights here and needs April's wind operation to have made a big difference. |
25/1 |

11th 16 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Last of seven in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 15 days ago; very hard to make a case for in his bid for a maiden win from 4lb out of the handicap. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-6 over hurdles but made encouraging seasonal debut when third of six here (2m5f, soft) in December, and can probably be excused for finding 2m7f on heavy ground too taxing at Newcastle in January. |

40-1 third of 16 at Wetherby in December but unable to reproduce that form and she's now 0-13; others make greater appeal. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |

Popped up with 40-1 third of 16 at Wetherby (3m, soft) in December; not ruled out each-way but pulled up back at Wetherby (3m, soft) and she's now 0-11; others arrive with less to prove. |
