Fetched £17,500 after landing a maiden point at the second attempt in February. Encouraging start when runner-up in a C&D bumper. Bred for jumping so one to take seriously.
|
£150,000 Walk In The Park gelding. Brother to bumper winner Goodtimecrew from the family of Wicklow Brave. Won sole start in Irish points but failed to finish his race off either start in bumpers. He's in good hands though and now goes hurdling.
|
Fair handicapper on the Flat but too free both starts over hurdles, latterly unseating rider at Chepstow. Last of 7 back on the level since.
|
From a good family and filled the frame both starts in Irish bumpers last spring. Failed to meet market expectations when fifth on hurdles debut and left Emmet Mullins cheaply after. Held up in a steadily-run race over 20f here a fortnight ago.
|
Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Al Clay. Has the frame and pedigree to think he'll make a hurdler/chaser but he was talented enough to make a winning bumper debut at Southwell in November. Good third at Warwick 3 months later and lots to recommend now hurdling.
|
Point winner who ran to a modest level both starts in bumpers, again racing freely after 7 months off when fourth of 11 at Warwick last month (also short of room). Goes hurdling at a very realistic level.
|
£5,000 3-y-o, fifth foal, dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Gallant Oscar. Failed to complete both starts in points (pulled up last time, Mar 24).
|
Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) but was tailed off on most recent outing and looked badly in need of the experience sent hurdling at Hereford recently.
|
Half-brother to fair hurdler Bluefortytwo (17f winner, by Overbury), stays 2½m: dam unraced. Twice-raced in points, last of 3 finishers last time (May 2023).
|
Shaped with promise when fourth in a bumper on debut but went backwards at Newbury next time. Third on hurdles debut at Hereford, despite jumping left, so this track should help.
|
Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¼m, creditable effort last time. Sold from Harry Eustace 4,400 gns in May.
|
€42,000 3-y-o: third foal, dam (c121/h121) 21f/2¾m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 25f).
|
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, stays 1½m, won final start in 2023. Sold from Andrew Balding 30,000 gns later in November but failed to see his race out having pulled hard on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Hood may help in that regard.

Forecasts
Guard Duty (5/2), Boyles Hill (3/1), Double Dragon (9/2), Nowmelad (7/1), Full Metal Jacket (8/1), Country Park (14/1), Scintillante (18/1), Easter Icon (33/1), Pub Crawl (40/1), Razzle Dazzle Boy (80/1), Shadow's (150/1), Katstar (200/1), Pooroldmackley (200/1)
GUARD DUTY laid a really solid foundation for hurdling in bumpers, winning on debut before a sound third under a penalty and this looks a good starting point for him over obstacles. Boyles Hill should also have a fair future as a jumper and is a threat, with Scintillante capable of better if settling, with a hood looking a good move.
- Guard Duty5/2
