2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A winner over hurdles in July; capable on the Flat off this sort of mark, winning here in May and last time beating all bar a lightly raced rival at Salisbury (1m6f, good); should give another good account. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 5lb |
Runs this track well and posted career-best hurdling performance when scoring over C&D (good to firm) a week ago; 7lb penalty gives her a big weight to carry today but, nevertheless, she has strong claims. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who was pulled up on her recent handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good); that run was not devoid of promise but she needs combination of drop back in trip and first-time tongue-tie to enable improvement here. |

Ex-Irish maiden who has posted two unconvincing efforts for new stable; however, may improve now handicapping at an ordinary level. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Placed in first four handicaps and looked booked for second when coming down late on at Market Rasen latest outing (2m4f, good; tongue-tie joined the cheekpieces); she'll have a part to play if returning in the same form. |
11/4 |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in all four handicaps, the last three times for Neil Mulholland; slightly disappointing when third at Stratford (2m, good) in May and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she's a contender here if suited by the new trip; tongue-tie added. |
7/2 |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Placed in all three handicaps, the last twice at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good/heavy) for new stable this spring; may yet have a bigger performance in her and features prominently in calculations. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has yet to win and placed again on her first run for this yard in a 2m maiden at Worcester 18 days ago; still appeals as a likely contender and she has been competitive off this sort of mark. |
9/4 |
|

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame on five of her eight hurdling starts for Alex Hales, most recently when second of seven in Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) in May; soundly beaten on final two outings for that stable and not sure to be favoured by the forecast rain here but has good claims if back on song for new trainer Olly Murphy. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Front-runner who won three times (once over C&D) last spring; pulled up over fences at Worcester last month but her second there in May was a fairly good effort and she reverts to hurdling on a workable mark. |
8/1 |
|
4 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time hurdle winner last spring; 0-3 over fences but posted sound effort when second of five behind much-improved rival over C&D (good) three weeks ago; likely contender again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
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. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up twice at Stratford before finally making her breakthrough at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, her 27th start over hurdles; well beaten back at Stratford since, though, and probably won't be favoured by rain here; others preferred. |
9/2 |

7th 11 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Posted several good efforts in defeat over C&D before finally making her breakthrough at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month, her 27th start over hurdles; might be a shade vulnerable after recent 4lb rise but ought to give another good account. |
7/1 |

1st 9 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Now 0-26 over hurdles after last week's defeat at Stratford but she's knocking on the door; unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Longstanding maiden but has run some solid races in handicaps, including on her last four appearances (new yard on last two starts); handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so looks sure to be heavily involved. |
9/4 |

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win over hurdles (0-11) but shaped better than the bare form suggests when a rallying third at Stratford (2m, good; hood discarded) 11 days ago on second start for the stable and may have more to offer; worth considering with Theo Gillard back in the saddle. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Minor form in a range of disciplines and although there isn't much between her and Remember Moi on their Stratford run last month she was struggling from a long way out before pulled up there since. |
33/1 |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-11 in Irish points and 0-12 under rules; ran well to a point over C&D on stable debut in March but two lesser efforts have followed (2m7f/2m6f; cheekpieces refitted last time); others look stronger. |

Unseated rider at first flight on recent reappearance outing and has now been unplaced all nine hurdling starts; 1lb wrong here; sports refitted hood; not the most obvious answer. |

No improvement for the return to assertive tactics on her final two outings last summer, beaten 25l in each; 5lb out of the weights on this return to action and not easily recommended. |
