19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Won good-ground bumper on debut then posted consistent efforts over hurdles until form dipped last time (handicap debut); nothing out of the ordinary and looks below the likely required standard on Flat debut. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Course bumper winner who has finished in the first three on all four hurdle starts (2m/1m7f, good-soft); this lightly raced 5yo could give another good account on his first handicap start. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won her third bumper start (good ground) but was beaten 16l into fourth on her hurdle debut and since then has finished out the back in a 1m6f maiden at Goodwood; has ability though and this isn't a good maiden. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a bumper at Hereford (good; first-time cheekpieces) in April but was a 16l fourth of 13 in a maiden hurdle at Warwick 46 days ago; her dam won a Listed event on the Flat and this filly now makes her debut in this sphere. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual hurdle winner at around 2m and she went close on her Flat debut at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; 6-5) three weeks ago; the winner has since been beaten in a handicap but this filly is open to progress in this sphere, particularly now stepping up in trip. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two minor hurdle wins at about 2m, the latest this month off a mark of 100; has something to prove in a maiden but she is bred for the Flat and this is uncompetitive; not ruled out for stable that is going well with Oisin Murphy booked (0-6 for the yard). |

Betting Forcast
20/1 Liam Mera Kai, Maestro Del Mar, Castlemont, 50/1 Crystal Jet, 16/1 Lucy The Wire, Arco Sancho, Star Of The Desert, Walking On Stars
Verdict
Walking On Stars is making good progress and is not opposed lightly but Godolphin’s well-bred gelding CASTLEMONT was quite impressive on his debut and gets the nod.[Chris Wilson]
