23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Back on track to a certain extent when fourth switched to fences at Perth latest (3m, good), shaping as if further still is required; longer trip all to the good and is now 20lb lower than this time last year. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien last season; has fared less well for new yard and, having been pulled up wearing headgear on last three starts, has plenty to prove on her chase debut (no headgear this time). |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice for Fergal O'Brien last season, the second a mares' novice over this C&D (soft); hasn't been in such good form since joining this yard; blinkers now tried. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
1-21 over hurdles, her win coming at Catterick in February; creditable efforts on all three runs since, including when second over C&D last month (good); sound run at Perth last time (2m5f, good); chance. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Just one win from her 19 hurdle starts but that came at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in February and she made a bad mistake when fourth at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) next time; she'll be fine now back up in trip and back on better ground, and could give a good account. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
On a reduced mark and she took a step back in the right direction at Sedgefield in November in this headgear combination, but she was still soundly beaten in third and needs to build on that effort today. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this year but her respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 19 days ago was a step back in the right direction and it's worth remembering that her only hurdle win was gained over this C&D. |
11/2 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Out of form on the Flat/over hurdles in the spring and, following a three-month break, fell in early stages of a recent chase; should cope if there's rain about but needs to get career back on track. |

11st 5lb |
No match for easy winner when third of five on chase/handicap debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good) three weeks ago and needs to improve, but she remains very lighty raced under rules and ought to be suited by the longer trip; tongue-tie added. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Showed some ability in her two bumpers (both on good ground) but pulled up at 150-1 on last month's hurdle debut at Catterick (1m7f, good); now wears a hood; hard to fancy after that latest run. |

Lightly raced 9yo who arrives in good form, runner-up to Scottish King in 3m Musselburgh handicap last month; this point winner needs considering despite being 2lb out of the handicap. |

Third for Gordon Elliott in maiden hurdle at Navan (2m, heavy) in March but well beaten on final run for that yard and tailed off when 80-1 at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) on last month's stable debut; others preferred. |
