2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Didn't show much on her first two starts but there was more encouragement in a close sixth of ten in novice at Kelso (2m, good to soft; 300-1) last month; may improve further. |
9/1 |

6th 11 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Soundly beaten when seventh on both starts, most recently her hurdle and stable debut at Catterick (1m7f, good); others are preferred. |
100/1 |

7th 5 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Low-key debut for Sandy Thomson at Wetherby (2m NHF; 13-2, beaten 23l) in November 2024; returns from a 462-day absence for a different trainer for hurdles debut; likely to need more time. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
0-6 on Flat and 0-5 over hurdles after his close third in a Worcester 2m maiden in July latest; stayed well on the Flat so this longer trip could help, and he's undergone a wind operation. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 0-6 on Flat and 0-4 over hurdles but has largely consistent form, creditable third over C&D most recently; this race is of a similar standard; again has place claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; not beaten all that far in two of his three races over hurdles, latterly at Bangor in this new headgear combination; should have some role to play. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame in all four handicap hurdles but was well held when third at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't fire on the Flat last month; probably needs to be perked up by a change of headgear here (usually wears cheekpieces) and Sean Quinlan appears to favour stablemate Expert Analysis. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) but he was runner-up on the Flat at Yarmouth (1m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last October; has made the frame over hurdles in recent starts but others look stronger. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
15-race maiden under all codes but has reached the frame on all three occasions since switched to handicap hurdles; down another 1lb and back in trip, but needs to find more to open his account. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021; close second off 2lb higher to Jam Lass in this race last year but modest over hurdles this term for new yard and tailed off at 100-1 when back to Flat 18 days ago; cheekpieces (worn for most of 2025) get their first airing this year. |
50/1 |

8th 1 (10) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Modest RPRs at best switched to hurdles this year for new yard; hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021 but went close off current mark at Redcar last October in most recent Flat run. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well held when third in C&D maidens on last two hurdling starts but ran well to a point both times and has been given a wind op since; smart on the Flat at his best (fourth in 2022 Derby) and open to improvement over hurdles on this handicap debut. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |

Has offered little in two bumper runs and both starts over hurdles, all at three-figure odds. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Safely held in both bumpers last season and struggled when a big-priced outsider for recent hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good). |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Point winner who was pulled up on his first three starts over hurdles and beat only one home when a tailed-off ninth of ten here last month on his only completion; needs the switch to fences and longer trip to spark marked improvement. |
