18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Rules wins (including one chase) came on soft or heavy but it was good ground when close up behind Streamsforth Lad over C&D last month; good chance. |

3rd 3 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Her hurdle win was on soft and the chase win at Hereford two runs back on heavy; had luck on her side that day and was then beaten 10l off this mark at Leicester (good to soft); however, at least she's a recent winner and did win a point on good ground. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
2m6f soft-ground mares' novice hurdle winner at Uttoxeter in December 2024; struggled in a couple of handicap hurdles back from almost a year out, but made a winning chase debut, ridden by Darren Andrews, when left clear at Hereford (3m1f, heavy) last month; may have been lucky but respected off 2lb higher. |

Always behind when 50-1 for 2m1f handicap hurdle here (soft) on stable debut in June and now 0-7 over hurdles; moves back up in trip for this chasing debut; not the most obvious answer. |

0-6 over hurdles for Alastair Ralph, and her second at Stratford (2m, good) in April came in a very ordinary mares' maiden; sold for £9,000 last month; needs improvement on stable debut; tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Beat a notable rival (now useful) in a point bumper but that was back in April 2022 and she ran to a modest level on her belated return/hurdling debut at Uttoxeter in December; tongue-tie now added but she would appear to be flying too high here. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Second reserve; point winner got off the mark under rules when winning a novice handicap chase at Newcastle in March last year (3m, good); has raced just twice since then and ran poorly; makes stable debut off 4lb lower mark compared to her win; a tongue tie and cheekpieces go on. |

3rd 4 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Got off the mark under rules when jumping well in a Newcastle handicap chase (2m7f, good) 13 months ago; off the track for 348 days prior to her return over that C&D last month, when easy to back and beaten 23l; well treated back on her winning mark and could come on for her reappearance. |

Winning Irish pointer in April 2024 (3m, good); unexposed under rules, getting off the mark when scoring over C&D on chase debut last March; hasn't run since; only 3lb higher and could go well. |

10st 10lb |
2-4 for new stable this year, with both wins gained from the front here (3m/3m2f); below form at Hexham last month but sure to be suited by the return to this track and could take some catching; cheekpieces refitted. |
6/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |

Back in the groove since joining the doubly represented Susan Corbett, winning back-to-back at Perth (3m/3m2f); raised a further 7lb since latest win, but that is effectively offset by the returning Rebekah Duffy; worthy of serious consideration in hat-trick mission. |

Launched chasing career with two heavy defeats in the autumn (3m/2m4f) but returns to racing under rules after winning good-ground maiden point by 11l last month; interesting to see what the market makes of her. |

0-10 under rules but left disappointing chase debut behind when second of ten at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January, and last month's Warwick third (3m, soft) was also a good effort; a possible if in similar form on the faster ground here. |

Point winner who is 0-9 under rules but showed improved form when second at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) last month on her second chase start; this lightly raced 9yo may well be able to get off the mark today. |
