2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft; including C&D) and followed a break by returning to winning ways with a career best at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; could still have more to offer and she's respected up 4lb. |

10st 11lb |
Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft); ran okay when fourth of seven over C&D (good to soft) in November when last seen (lost a shoe); each-way claims if fully tuned up after a break. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made excellent progress when fitted with cheekpieces in the spring, and the second of her three wins was gained over C&D; further improvement is possible if she's fully tuned up after five-month break. |

Hasn't won for a while, but fair runs with cheekpieces on last two starts (fourth in mares' handicap over C&D on good on first occasion); each-way chance. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Out of form towards end of last year but returned from three-month break with pretty good fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (2m5f, good) 11 days ago, and it will be interesting to see whether this drop back in trip pays dividends. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |

3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |

4th 10 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Disappointing on both runs this year and needs to turn things around; however, perhaps first-time cheekpieces will help and she won over C&D (good to soft) in November on her last visit here. |
7/1 |

7th 9 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Justified market support when winning at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) in November; didn't see it out as well as the principals at Ayr (3m; fourth of ten) next time, before pulling up on heavy ground at Leicester latest; probable player if returning to peak form. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Opened account with clearcut success at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November and ran well until stamina ebbed away at Ayr (3m, heavy) last month; drops back in trip here and has another big role to play. |

Departed early here 18 days ago; has become hard to predict and would prefer further ideally; there's also the major hindrance of being 10lb out of the weights. |

Won four handicap hurdles at about this trip for Donald McCain; 0-4 for current yard, though ran in the Listed chase here won by Grey Dawning before finishing third in a handicap chase at Bangor (beaten 4.5l); might be running back into form. |

10st 9lb |
Last effort of note was when winning on heavy ground at Hexham (2m4f) just over a year ago; perhaps went off too fast there last time (especially over 2m7f; good to soft) but current wellbeing looks an issue. |

Won a 2m4f handicap here last April but things have fallen apart in just three runs since (form figures of U0P); showed signs of being in season when pulled up at Newcastle last month but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and both wins have been in the mud; down the list. |
