18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who was an easy winner of Chepstow novice (2m, heavy) in January and she had daunting task in Mares' Novice (Grade 2) at Cheltenham Festival in final run last season; this is more realistic on handicap debut and she still has scope for further progress in this sphere; needs a close look on return. |

Ran well in two good-quality bumpers last spring, latterly when fourth of 18 at Cheltenham (good), but soundly beaten on both hurdling starts this season (2m3f/2m); not written off just yet but needs to jump more fluently. |

Ended last year in storming form for 1m6f/2m hat-trick and not disgraced when never dangerous in January when last seen; peak efforts on softer than good but she's not dismissed. |

Excellent overall strike-rate and she's won her last three, finding plenty for pressure each time (latest on the Tapeta at Southwell); only 3lb higher and will give it her best shot. |

Placed on first two hurdling starts last winter (good to soft/heavy) but her handicap debut in March was underwhelming and she's against some very promising rivals here. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won by a nose at Leicester in November (1m7f, soft) but she's struggled in three subsequent runs and was pulled up at Ffos Las last month; had another wind operation since but she needs a major revival back up in trip; hood and tongue-tie are removed and cheekpieces are now tried. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Nosed home off this mark at Leicester in November (soft) but comfortably beaten otherwise this season; the hood is reapplied for the first time since Leicester but she's not overly convincing. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Battled well for narrow course win (1m7f, soft) in November, her seventh hurdle run, but was safely held on her latest outing and is probably not one to rely upon heavily; ventures beyond 2m1f for first time. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time hurdle winner but below her best in that discipline for current yard and again when a remote third on chase debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces after wind surgery); others preferred. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |

Hurdles form has dipped sharply for new yard but has she possibilities provided the combination of first-time cheekpieces, switch to fences and a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) prompts a revival; back on last winning mark. |

Three-time winner (once over C&D) on good ground for Keiran Burke last spring but pulled up on stable debut in December and came last of six at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month; needs to get career back on track. |

10st 6lb |
Soundly beaten in her first two chases, more recently when last of six in Warwick mares' race won by Voleur De Terres (3m, soft) last month, and now 0-11 under all codes; difficult to enthuse over. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
9yo who is very lightly raced for her age but she's achieved little and was soundly beaten in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on last month's chase debut at Lingfield (2m4f, soft); has to leave that run miles behind. |

Minor form in points and over hurdles so far, pulling up a long way out on her handicap debut at Windsor (50-1) in November; goes chasing with a lot to find; cheekpieces fitted. |

Came good at Hereford in the autumn and showed even better form when following up there (also 2m, good) last month, after a break; moves up in grade here but might still be improving; must be considered. |

Low-mileage mare who resumed from four months off with a breakthrough success over C&D in November; up 6lb but she had something to spare there so rates a player after another break. |

Close third of six on seasonal/handicap debut at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in November and also ran well when fifth of 13 at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in December; considered each-way. |

30l eighth on debut at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in January and well behind in third when unseating at Lingfield (2m, soft) recently; her attractive pedigree suggests she won't come into her own until tackling further. |

Heavy-ground Irish point winner in spring 2024; did not show a great deal in three slow-ground maiden hurdles last season (2m-2m4f) but made quite promising chase/handicap debut when third of six at Taunton (2m, good) in March and ought to be suited by this move back up in trip. |

Well beaten on first two hurdling starts (2m/2m3f) but improved to cause 50-1 shock in Hereford maiden (2m3f, good) in March; that form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this mare could quite plausibly have more improvement to come in handicaps. |
