10st 2lb |
Won handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, soft) last February 2025 but he's been well held in eight runs this season and latest was at Hereford last week; out of the weights again and he can only be watched. |

Made a winning handicap hurdle debut off today's mark at Bangor (2m3f, soft) a year ago but safely held on all six starts this season; considered only if lively in the betting before this chasing debut. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close at Bangor early last year and was placed again next time; however, her form ran cold afterwards and she finished well behind over hurdles last week after a layoff. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Very nearly won a handicap at Bangor early last year and was placed again next time; however, her form ran cold afterwards and she's been off for 13 months; new trainer. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
The closest she's come in 13 races was very close indeed, coming from the back off this mark at Bangor (2m3f, soft) in February, but her form has subsided again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Now 9lb below the mark of her sole hurdling success (2m3f, heavy), but aptitude for chasing remains unproven, falling mid-race on one attempt and racing too freely on the other. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Mid-race faller in sole chase attempt; has a doubt over current form but is nicely treated assuming this return to fences prompts a resurgence; gained sole hurdles success off 5lb higher. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won three handicap hurdles within the space of four runs last year (all at 2m on goodish ground) and the last of those was off this mark; may have needed the run last time after a break and showed some aptitude for fences when an 18l third at Uttoxeter in October. |

5th 8 |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won three around this time last year, latest over C&D (good to soft); beaten four times since, the last two over fences; switches back to hurdles and worth a look in the betting. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In good form over hurdles this spring, making all three times (2m, good/good to soft); recent efforts suggest the handicapper may have her measure now but, nevertheless, she can give this a good shot from the front if she jumps well on her chasing debut. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-19 but placed over both hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); has been competitive from this mark on her last three starts and should be again. |
9/4 |

3rd 8 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden but was close up in her final handicap hurdle and ran okay in her first chase (2m2f, good), for all that she was no match for the clearcut winner; should have a role to play. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Came good on handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December, staying on well to cause 20-1 surprise; ought to have coped better with the soft ground when only seventh at Bangor last month but may yet have more to offer; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
20-1 under claimer William Maggs for handicap debut in 13-runner race at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December and she snatched the win with a strong late bid from mid-division; up 4lb and the very mixed displays in her qualifying races aren't yet forgotten, but she may now have turned a corner. |

Never dangerous at 40-1 when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f) in June 2023; 9lb lower today but has raced only once since, when pulled up at 200-1 in a 2m3f novice 18 days ago; plenty to prove. |

Plenty to find on form and badly lacks recent match practice having been absent since June 2023; returns as a 9yo and best watched. |
