23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Picked up two handicaps in the autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good) but her progress has rather stalled since then and looks on a hard mark. |
12/1 |

5th 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Kicked off current campaign with two handicap wins in a row in the autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good); her progress has stalled at Doncaster (3m, good/soft) on her last two starts and, while she may still have more to offer when returning to a right-handed track, she's once more going left-handed today. |
12/1 |

6th 7 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
4-9 over hurdles, posting a personal best when getting up late on at Ascot (2m7f, good; handles soft) in November; however, she didn't jump with much fluency when a well-held third over C&D last month and she faces an even stiffer task moving out of handicaps; cheekpieces are fitted. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Claims on March's Newcastle third (2m4f, good to soft), but cosmetically respectable form figures this year disguise one or two heavy defeats, this trip as much the issue as her jumping left at Fakenham latest. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Slightly disappointing at Southwell 12 days ago and now 0-6 over fences but her close third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) was a pretty good effort and she has possibilities here if stamina holds out on first venture beyond about 2m5f. |
6/1 |

4th 6 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Yet to win over fences but has performed with credit when reaching the frame on her last two starts, latterly third of eight over 2m4f at Newcastle (good to soft) four weeks ago. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
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. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

First-time visor and enjoyed a soft lead when winning at Haydock (2m5f, good) in March; bumped into one when second last time but that still completed a subsequent run of double-figure defeats. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Has to bounce back from a couple of modest runs (latest second was a remote one) but she has since undergone a wind operation; closely matched with Party Vibes and Theonewedreamof on their Cheltenham clash in December; possible. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made a winning start over fences at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and ran well when third of 13 finishers at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; had an off day at Market Rasen last time but worth another chance. |
7/1 |

4th 3 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-5 over hurdles but made winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bettered that performance when close third of 15 in Cheltenham mares' race (2m4f, good to soft) last month; moves back up up in trip here and probably still has more to offer over fences. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
In the frame all four hurdling starts, most recently when fourth of eight in Doncaster handicap (2m5f, good) this month; probably needs to find something extra to open her account here but that's possible. |
5/1 |

4th 7 |
2nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 181y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Needs to produce more than she managed when a soundly beaten third on handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, soft) in January but this well-bred mare drops back down in grade today and could take a step forward. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
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. |
8/1 |

5th 9 |
27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
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. |

11st 1lb |
Triple hurdle winner, who ended last year with a second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) but she's been out of sorts in her two runs (pulled up/tailed off) this spring; new headgear is now tried and she needs a major revival back in trip. |

Verdict
Handicap newcomer REALTA LIATH wasn’t at her best at Warwick last time but looked a nice prospect previously and earns the vote ahead of Rockola Vogue, who goes handicapping having shown steadily progressive form. Musselburgh third Could Be Trouble is next on the list.[Ben Hutton]
