Walk In The Park gelding who finished third on sole outing in points and shaped well on all 3 bumper starts earlier in the year, exceeding expectations when third of 10 at the Punchestown Festival (2m, good to soft) back in late-April. Interesting hurdling debutant.
|
Third sole start in Irish points but well beaten in a couple of starts over hurdles, though did show ability under considerate handling on latest (tongue tied). Returns from 5 months off and could be one for low-grade handicaps after this.
|
Getaway gelding. Dam (h109), 23f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Emily Moon. Respected debutant.
|
Placed once in 3 bumpers for Philip Fenton. Changed hands for £105,000 but never figured on yard/hurdling debut in Grade 2 at Kempton in February but made a much bigger impact when second of 13 in maiden at Perth (2m, soft) a few months later. First-time hood applied and considered on return.
|
Borderline useful Flat performer who completed a hat-trick in Germany in summer 2025. Has joined a top jumps yard ahead of this return so shouldn't be underestimated starting out over hurdles.
|
Successful twice from 4 starts in points and built on initial promise under Rules when winning 8-runner bumper over C&D (good to soft) last month. Has left Tom George since and worth a second look in the betting on hurdling debut.
|
Behind when falling in an Irish point in February and has made a listless start under Rules in a couple of maiden hurdles here. One for later on.
|
Improved to make it third time lucky on Flat at Nottingham on return in June 2025. Well beaten in a couple of 1¼m handicaps later that season but has joined a top yard ahead of this return/hurdling debut. Betting should be a decent guide as to what's expected.
|
Failed to meet market expectations first time up when eighth of 10 in C&D bumper in August and tailed-off last of 7 on hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on Sunday. Can only be watched.
|
Made a winning start in 9-runner Huntingdon bumper last November. Proved to be a disappointment at Chepstow 10 weeks later but having had a breathing operation, was back to his debut level when second of 8 at former track in April. Folly to discount on return/hurdling debut.
|
Promising second in a Sedgefield bumper on debut. Caught the attention of the stewards when again well held at long odds at Bangor in March. Should get a mark after this run and is one to note for handicaps.
|
Put a low-key end to the spring behind her returning from 5 months off when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (17f, good) recently, rallying when headed before the last. In the mix with a repeat.

Lexington Wood (5/6), Cowboy Casanova (11/4), Yeld To Call (15/2), King Rolo (10/1), Spanish Darling (12/1), Westbrooke Boy (12/1), Northern Olympian (18/1), Wet Sail (20/1), One More Chrome (150/1), Drumlee Orders (250/1), Drakaris (250/1), Action Replay (300/1), Pedro's Moon (400/1)
Having faced a stiff task on hurdling debut, LEXINGTON WOOD made a much bigger impact when finishing runner-up in a Perth maiden in May and fitted in a first-time hood for his return, Olly Murphy's 5-y-o can make it third time lucky. Yeld To Call went very close at Newton Abbot last month, so she heads up the dangers, while Dan Skelton saddles 3 and his German import Northern Olympian looks the most interesting on paper.
