4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Despite failing to settle he showed a good attitude to win a 4yo handicap at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in November; pulled up at Ascot in December but that was his first run on soft going and he bled from the nose; very lightly raced and could be suited by the big-field scenario; retains potential. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Ran in three juvenile hurdles, the first for a different yard; beat the same Skelton-trained horse for his two wins and he's now exposed as modest (beaten in a seller), as is the third last time who was 100-1; however, he did win comfortably at Taunton and brings potential into this higher grade. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced junior hurdle winner; back from wind surgery when second in a three-finisher field at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) and the winner is seriously progressive; best form has been in the mud but needs considering. |
10/1 |

2nd 3 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Made all in junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m, heavy) 13 months ago and respectable third of five when back in action at Ffos Las (2m, soft) in November; 3-1 but pulled up in Leicester novice (about 2m4f; heavy) next time when his trainer blamed the tacky ground; makes his handicap debut following wind surgery and it is likely we haven't see the best of him. |

28th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Half-brother to useful Irish jumper Gua Du Large; unable to justify warm favouritism when only third of seven on debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft) in November but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance and he's open to improvement. |

22nd Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
In fine form for local yard; won off 13lb lower over C&D (heavy) in November; career best off 103 when a 1.75l runner-up in a C&D Listed handicap hurdle in December, although form not working out so well; nudged up another 3lb but clearly loves it here and he's a huge player in this modest grade. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Beaten about 7l by the winner Newport when fifth of ten at 9-1 on last month's handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft); improvement is needed but he's raced only five times and could take a step forward at some point. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Brought down early on his debut and hinted at promise, despite making mistakes, when fifth of seven in 2m Warwick juvenile ten months ago; this son of Roman Candle should do better. |

Showed nothing more than glimmers of promise in her three qualifying races towards the end of last year but it won't be a surprise if she gets much more competitive in handicaps; watch the betting. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles and twice disappointing since a third of six at Newton Abbot in September (2m1f, good to soft); wouldn't be the obvious answer on this switch to fences. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-7 and down the field at Taunton in November last time, but looked stretched by 2m3f; prior to that he ran okay when third of six at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); might have each-way chance now back down in trip. |
