14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Improving mare who has form figures of 511, all at Kelso, since switched to fences; made all for 8l win last time (3m2f, good to soft) despite jumping right; in the mix, especially if keeping straighter. |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Narrow winner of a 2m4f mares' novice hurdle at Ayr (soft) in January; lacked for fluency when down the field on C&D chasing debut (good; 13-2) 24 days ago; Derek Fox takes over in the saddle, with stablemate I Wish You probably of more interest. |

Fair form over hurdles last term, winning a mares' novice at Ayr in January (2m4f, soft) and finishing runner-up in a 3m novice handicap on same track the following month (soft); interesting on chase debut. |

11st 11lb |
Has progressed well since having wind surgery in September, winning 2m4f handicaps at Ffos Las (soft) and Southwell (good to soft); creditable second to an odds-on shot in a novice at Ayr last time; each-way chance. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won novice hurdle here (2m3f, soft) last February and she returned to form when third of seven at Haydock (3m, good to soft) in December following a break; could build on that latest effort and she's a possible player. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Came good for James Moffatt at third attempt, in Carlisle novice hurdle (2m3f, soft) in February, and was reportedly unsuited by the good ground when well-held sixth here (3m1f) on handicap hurdle debut in May; remains unexposed under rules and has plenty of Irish pointing experience to call upon on this chasing debut; interesting. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Yard firmly back among the winners of late and she opened her account in some style in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Newcastle 15 days ago; always travelling strongly there so big shout despite the drop back in trip and 6lb weights rise. |
2/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces when second at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) and didn't appear to stay 3m on heavy ground at Ayr; did run well to a point and Brian Hughes rides again. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Had jumping issues during her chase spell and proved suited by the return to hurdles in C&D contest (good to soft) last time, just holding on from Lizzie Luna who might have won but for coming off a true line; may remain competitive. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 |
21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who might well have made a winning chase debut here (2m4f, good) in May, had she not clouted the last two fences; again made jumping errors when well behind Heaven Smart over that trip last month but can pose a potent threat if she gets into a better rhythm today. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-5 over hurdles but made promising start to chasing career when third over C&D (good) in May; might well have won that race had she not clouted the last two fences, and commands respect off the same mark today. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Won bumper in sole Irish start; not solid on hurdles form and lacked fluency when last seen (sustained an overreach wound to right fore). |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won on debut in bumper at Ballinrobe (2m, good) in August 2022 but absent for a long time subsequently and she's been tailed off/pulled up this winter on her first two hurdle starts; a major turnaround is needed. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Triple winner at up to 2m4f (soft and good); inconsistency tempers confidence in her backing up last month's Perth near-miss (2m4f, good; first-time visor retained), but has staying potential on breeding. |
4/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Ayr winner in November (2m3f, soft); some fair form in lower grade events than this since; visor replaces normal cheekpieces. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |

Not one to rely upon heavily but won in good style here (2m3f, soft) in November and has been placed on two of her subsequent four appearances; can make presence felt if in right mood. |
