19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
8st 9lb |
Musselburgh maiden winner (1m4f, good to soft) who was third in a hot running of the Listed Cheshire Oaks in May (11.3f, good); well beaten in Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but failed to settle and, in view of the penultimate form, is not ruled out now back down in grade. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second to Lady Vivian in Southwell maiden (1m4f, AW) in March on third start then easily won Musselburgh maiden (12.4f, good to soft); improved again when third in Listed Cheshire Oaks (11.3f, good); mixed messages from that form with Minnie Hauk following up in the Oaks but the runner-up being unplaced in French Group 3; this stiffer stamina test can suit; not ruled out. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all for hurdling starts for Daniel Steele this year, the latest his handicap debut in June, but showed significant ability on the Flat for Andrew Balding beforehand and is worth a glance in the betting before debut for latest stable. |
14/1 |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Well beaten in three starts for new stable in early part of this year and also struggled when back on the Flat last month; makes handicap hurdle debut off a lowly mark and with cheekpieces refitted, but has quite a lot to prove. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 1lb |
Ghaiyyath 4yo ran to a useful level of form on the Flat last year for Charlie Fellows at around 1m4f; yard debut effort at Galway was respectable, considering he was plenty fresh; interesting now switched to hurdles and one to consider. |
7/2 |

1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |
10st 1lb |
Maiden showed more than enough for Charlie Fellowes last season to suggest he could win races; below best when last seen at Newmarket in October; worth a market check on debut for Gordon Elliott. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
4yo who has shown ability on the Flat and it's still very early days over hurdles; however, he was soundly beaten on his handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile hurdler who may show improvement off his opening hurdles mark; 0-9 overall but looks favourably treated with his Flat rating in mind and Gregor Walkingshaw takes off a bonus 10lb. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on the Flat and failed to progress; ran okay when sixth of ten at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day on his second hurdle start but others have achieved considerably more. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
0-7 on the Flat for Karl Burke but showed some fair form at up to 1m5f and seems versatile ground-wise; sold for 7,000gns in the autumn; makes stable/hurdle debut after eight-month break. |
