31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
12yo whose seven wins have been registered at either Market Rasen or Carlisle; latest was last April and she's now 9lb lower after a lean spell, but there were major signs of a revival on latest start before she fell (held in second at the final flight); considered but this may not be her track. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time C&D scorer, including in this race 12 months ago; well below par this term, coming in last of 14 over C&D 20 days ago but this veteran mare still can't be totally dismissed from a plummeting mark. |

Veteran mare who has won seven races, three of them over C&D, but hasn't been in the best of form this season and others appeal more. |

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. |

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. |

Yet to win over hurdles; third in three consecutive handicaps last season (unseated rider on final start); each-way chance. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Yet to win in eight runs over hurdles, but third over 2m1f here (good to soft) and over 2m3f at Doncaster (soft) and Catterick (good to soft; first two have both won since) on last three starts; chance. |
9/2 |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Made it 0-9 when no match for the front two at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last time but the runner-up has won since and this lightly raced 6yo is unexposed at today's trip; could be in the shake-up. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Exposed mare who was winning her first handicap when a clearcut winner at Bangor (2m, good); effectively off the same mark with William Maggs' claim erasing the 5lb rise and shouldn't be too inconvenienced should it get wet. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Still just a Ludlow novice win on her CV (2m, good); cheekpieces haven't provoked any major improvement but she continues in fair heart, finding only one completing a hat-trick too good for her at Cartmel latest. |
7/4 |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Fairly consistent in handicaps since her Ludlow novice win (2m, good) just over a year ago; drops back in trip after perfectly respectable second at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) last month and probably won't be far away. |

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. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Quickened up best off a slow pace to prevail in a small field at Chepstow (2m7f, good); unlikely that represented any improvement on previous best efforts but only went up 4lb. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Below par on two of her last three outings, including latest when returned to the sound surface of her one career success; hasn't shaped as if in need of this second crack at a stayers' trip (pulled up in the first). |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent this season if forgiven her penultimate blip, after which she underwent wind surgery; it was a respectable effort at Haydock next time as that was a competitive Class 2 handicap (2m5f); goes well on good ground and looks a big player. |

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. |

Lowly rated Flat maiden who showed no significant promise on her four hurdling starts last season (1m7f-2m1f); moves up in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor today. |
