23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rejoined Sophie Leech after remote second in selling hurdle last month; made no impact when 50-1 for 2m1f handicap hurdle three weeks later and reverts to chasing with quite a bit to prove; cheekpieces removed. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Bagged a four-timer (around 2m) over hurdles/fences last winter; not at her best of late though and finished a remote second in 2m Hexham seller three weeks ago on her final run for Jennie Candlish; more needed in refitted cheekpieces for her new handler. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Four wins over hurdles and fences in 2025 (about 2m2f; ground ranging from good to soft); not in the same form since returning from a layoff in January, including in a Stratford seller in March, but this is easier and she's a viable option. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; cheekpieces replace blinkers and she's a likely player after a break. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Eventually opened account at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April, her 24th hurdling start, and has made the frame on all three subsequent appearances; may find others better handicapped here, though. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beat last weekend's winner Tara Iti at Sedgefield in April (2m1f, good); similar form in finishing second the last twice and although some 13l behind Auntie Maggie in her penultimate race, she has a hefty swing in the weights with that rival; regularly partnered by Joshua Thompson. |

Won a Sedgefield handicap hurdle in May (2m1f, good to firm) but has been rather disappointing over hurdles and on the Flat since; needs to bounce back. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |

Winless since a breakthrough victory at Wolverhampton (2m) in October but she got back on song with third of five in 2m Catterick handicap in May; not ruled out. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Over 6l behind Zephlyn over C&D last May; some fair form since (won over 2m at Wolverhampton in October) but not quite at her best back on turf last twice (over 2m5f and 1m4f); place chance. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Not quite at his best this year but last month's Hexham third was respectable and she remains only 2lb higher than when beating Saligo Bay to win this race under Thomasina Eyston in 2025; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |

Cartmel winner off 2lb lower last July (2m1f, good) who was a fair fifth in a mares' handicap over that C&D last time; not out of it. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles with limitations well exposed, but last month's 25l third at Hereford can be marked up as she'd tried to make all (not her usual run style) off the back of a 170-day absence; place claims. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Has a fondness for Fakenham and she put up a good show when winning her second chase on that track (2m5f, good to soft) in January from out of the weights; has continued in form there since but others might be stronger finishers away from that track. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won for the second time here, but the first over this distance, in January at 40-1; unlucky not to finish closer when second of three finishers back over C&D (soft) four weeks ago and must be on the shortlist. |
2/1 |

2nd 4 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made it 2-3 here when coming from off the pace on good to soft a month ago and that was from 6lb out of the weights; that was a return to form from nowhere but it was her first go over this far under rules; 4lb higher. |

10st 11lb |
2-42 when trained in Ireland; respectable fourth under Ben Smith at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February was easily the best of her four races for new yard; 7lb lower today but she probably can't be relied upon. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Very modest form over hurdles and well beaten at 25-1 on her Flat handicap debut here (1m4f, good) two months ago; she's hard to fancy on the back of that but the first-time tongue-tie may help this bumper winner and she's not written off. |
20/1 |

11th 6 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-7 over hurdles and hasn't threatened on her first three Flat starts; however, this bumper winner goes up in trip off a lowly opening Flat mark and Hollie Doyle has been booked; no surprise to see a good run. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Yet to register a victory and she was pulled up on her stable debut in 2m Sedgefield handicap hurdle 30 days ago; very hard to make a case for. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-10 over hurdles and absent since heavy defeat for Pauline Robson at Cartmel (2m6f) last summer; well handicapped on old form but probably best watched on stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
25/1 |
