7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Half-brother to a French Group 3 sprint winner; left Nicky Henderson after very poor debut in August and can only be watched on first start for Barry Brennan. |

10st 9lb |
Yet to threaten under rules but he finished second in a point-to-point bumper and goes handicapping off a lowly mark; this half-brother to a 2m4f hurdle winner could be suited by the step up in trip and is an interesting candidate, especially if attracting market support. |

Some promise in a point and then a bumper but was beaten when falling on his hurdling debut and tailed off in his second attempt. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Pulled up when 100-1 for hurdling debut in January but the ground was heavy that day and he fared much better when fifth of ten here (2m, good) in July; now needs to take another big step forward over today's much longer trip. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't achieve much when third in his first bumper and forgettable since, latterly on hurdling debut (100-1). |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
6yo who has been a big improver since switched to fences and he made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and he's unbeaten in three chase runs at at Newton Abbot; strong contender. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Hat-trick (2m-extended 2m3f) before the break included two C&D wins in July, latest when scoring convincingly off an 8lb lower mark and the runner-up has run well since; this mark demands more but he's thriving and a bold bid can be expected for the four-timer. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Probably fortunate when left clear to score at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last month but readily followed up in four-runner C&D (good) contest ten days ago and is evidently in prime form. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Some ability in two bumpers but beaten 14l and 39l in her two races over hurdles; not one of Skelton's brighter lights by the looks. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up in soft-ground Stratford bumper in the autumn; raced too freely before weakening into third on recent hurdling debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance, and she may benefit from today's drop back in trip. |
5/2 |

3rd 8 |
13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
took keen hold, held up in rear, headway on turn before 3 out, went modest third approaching last, no extra inside final 110yds |
10/1 |
