14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Seemingly back in prime form when beating a subsequent Cheltenham winner at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December but wasn't at same level when weakening third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month, after a break, and needs that recent run to have brought her on. |

Running well over fences for her current yard this season and opened chase account in 2m3f Chepstow handicap in December (race has thrown up three subsequent winners); big shout given she has gone well after a break too. |

0-6 over fences and has made a few jumping errors, but has also shown ability including in both starts for this yard; back down in grade and cheekpieces are given a go, but this sharp 2m may not be a sufficient test for her now. |

Both hurdle wins at 2m (good to soft and soft) in November 2023; lightly raced with mixed results since but she can go well fresh and the pick of her form at about this trip gives her claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; struggled in first three runs for current yard but she showed signs of a revival when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last Saturday; was no match for the first two in that race but her mark continues to fall and she looks worth another try at this trip; could be dangerous. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; rather disappointing since, including on her three starts for this yard after wind surgery last season (pulled up over fences last time); bit to prove. |
8/1 |

Well handicapped on some of her old hurdle form for Alastair Ralph but she looked held when falling in a 2m5f handicap hurdle here on her reappearance in January; down the field at Ludlow since and hard to know what to expect back chasing (well beaten on previous attempt). |

11st 3lb |
Course winner who keeps on improving and was a fine second of 24 in the Pertemps Final (Handicap) at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month; receives 7lb mares' allowance but today's assignment requires a clear career best. |
50/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Never better than on her last three starts, winning a Listed mares' hurdle at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) on first occasion; minor honours in Grade 2 events since (hooded last time, not today); reliable and basically progressive but she needs to resume improvement in this hot handicap. |
16/1 |

3rd 6 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
7yo who has shown improved form this season and won a Listed mares' hurdle at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December; similar form when held in fourth in mares' Grade 2 there (3m, soft) three weeks ago and it seems likely she'll prove vulnerable today; wears a first-time hood. |

Three-time hurdles winner whose form slumped in Britain last winter; low-key stable debut at Listowel in June was followed by a fall at Killarney; never in the hunt at Listowel festival; trainer appears to have a better chance with Meehall. |

Ran quite well when fourth behind Masked Dance in this race a year ago and is 10lb lower now but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; pulled up over C&D on latest hurdling start (Boxing Day) and safely held in a chase a few weeks later; needs 112-day break to have done her good. |

Scored at Haydock (2m5f) in March and largely in good nick since, though she beat only one in 2m4f Worcester handicap hurdle 33 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |

Runner-up here (2m3f, soft) last February and now 5lb lower; however, not at the same level on her three starts this season and she faded when upped to 3m at Southwell recently; now 0-15. |

11st 8lb |
Record of 4-12 over hurdles but she was vulnerable in her final three runs last year including over C&D (good); now only 1lb higher than for her last success but she needs to rediscover her spark after six months off. |

4-10 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May; not seen to same effect when ridden much more patiently there this month, after a break, but kept on steadily for a modest third and may still have scope for further progress. |
