27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Seven-race maiden for the Gosdens but suffered a few near misses at up to 1m6f; made a quiet stable debut on the Flat (tongue tied after wind surgery) but that was in a strong handicap at York; could make a hurdler. |
9/4 |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Second or third every time in September-January in his seven races for the Gosdens, most AW; tried as far as 1m6f and in two forms of headgear; sold for 65,000gns in February and has now had wind surgery and has his tongue tied first time; competitive mark in theory but clearly questions to answer. |

3rd 4 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Chased home a better-fancied stablemate (who is now BHA rated 88) on his Kempton debut last September and then bumped into another smart sort at Ascot on his second run; his four subsequent defeats have come at odds of 30-100 (again behind a progressive rival), Evs, 8-11 and 6-4 and although he should stay this longer trip well, the fact more new headgear is tried suggests he has his quirks; still of interest on handicap debut. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Low-grade Flat performer who joined this yard for £5,000; 25-1 and tailed off in a good-ground maiden at Hexham. |
14/1 |

6th 2 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a long losing run on the Flat but he ran creditably when last seen, finishing second at Redcar (1m2f, good; final outing for Tim Easterby) in October; changed hands for £5,000 soon after; going hurdling rather late but not without hope. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up in similar event at Ripon in August and has place claims if back to that form; far from certain to go one better, however, with losing sequence stretching back four years. |

Modest Flat performer; well beaten all three runs over hurdles; plenty to find. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Tailed off in both runs over hurdles and no worthwhile Flat form in the meantime. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
With Paul and Oliver Cole when a comfortable winner at Chelmsford (7f, Class 6; 5-2 favourite) last May; poor showings in five starts - 6f Flat to 2m1f hurdle - for this trainer; no reason to envisage a change of headgear working the oracle. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fair Flat racer with three middle-distance wins on his CV; yet to show any significant promise after four hurdle starts this year but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and some of that Flat ability may yet transfer to this discipline; watch the betting. |
8/1 |

6th 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time Flat winner at 1m3f-1m4f but has yet to replicate that form over hurdles, being soundly beaten in both completed starts, on good ground; may do better in time but can only be watched at present. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

No great shakes on the Flat for Kevin Ryan but did win three times at about 1m4f; however, it's been a poor start to his hurdling career. |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |
33/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Low-grade Flat winner who has shaped with some promise in two completed hurdle starts, most recently when a 14l third at Hexham (2m, good) in June; needs to take a step forward on handicap debut but receives a handy weight-for-age allowance. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Modest Flat winner who failed to last home over C&D on hurdle debut and unseated mid-race at Cartmel 17 days ago; should do better in time but others make more appeal. |
