Dual winner of handicap hurdles in 2024, latterly over 21f at Kelso in September. Below par since but this represents a step down compared to the quality of handicaps that he usually contests and, now just 1 lb above that Kelso mark, he needs considering.
|
Better known as a chaser and offered little back hurdling at Hereford last month, on what was his first run in this sphere since landing a Ludlow novice almost 2 years ago.
|
Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat and landed a brace of 18.7f novice events for Dan Skelton at Stratford last June. However, no impact in handicaps since and probably best watched back from 6 months (has undergone a wind on in the interim) on this debut for new yard.
|
Placed on the second of his 2 starts in bumpers and promising start over hurdles when runner-up in a 2m Warwick novice on return in October. Has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts but this 6-y-o may well take a step forward now upped in trip for this handicap debut.
|
Has done most of her racing at Market Rasen during the last 15 months or so, placed twice in 20.6f handicaps there this season. Plenty of decent form here on Town Moor earlier in her career, too, including a maiden hurdle success back in March 2021, and she's one for the shortlist.
|
Equipped with first-time tongue strap (also hooded) when opening his account at Uttoxeter in October. Well held both subsequent starts, including with hood discarded (omitted again here) in a Wetherby handicap (19.7f, soft) when last seen on Boxing Day. Claims with drying ground in his favour.
|
Runner-up final start for Gary & Joshua Moore at Plumpton in October and bettered previous efforts for this yard when third of 9 in 16.8f Sedgefield handicap in January. Latest effort here 13 days ago was respectable but he didn't appear to get home upped to 19.3f at Catterick on penultimate start.
|
Ended a losing sequence with a career best in 13-runner handicap here (19.4f, good) in November. Stamina seemingly stretched upped to 3m next time but excuses for latest effort at Sedgefield (finished third but was beaten 26 lengths) are not so easty to find.
|
Fair hurdler at his best but has completely lost his way, pulled up both starts for new yard since returning from a 10-month absence in September. Now tried in a hood.

Forecasts
Diamond Dealer (11/4), Saligo Bay (10/3), I Ain't Your Mate (7/2), Let's Go Joe (9/2), Pure Carbon (5/1), Gilbertina (8/1), Ashington (17/2), Guy (16/1), Camarrate (16/1), Juan Bermudez (22/1), Quickbuck (100/1)
With improvement likely now upped in trip for this handicap debut, I AIN'T YOUR MATE is not short of appeal. Diamond Dealer needs to get back on track following a couple of low-key efforts but that's entirely possible now back on better ground. Pure Carbon is another who could be seen in a better light now handicapping, while Ashington and Gilbertina are others to consider.
