7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Point bumper winner and was second in a Fontwell mares' novice hurdle (2m5f, good) in April; still went off 80-1 for handicap debut at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) and went out like a light. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |

Won a point bumper last November (soft); showed little on her first two rules starts before improving to be 6l second in a Fontwell mares' novices' hurdle (2m5f, good) in April; failed to back that up at Worcester (2m4f, good) latest, giving her a bit to prove again. |

Has improved recently and broke her duck at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; up 3lb for that, unexposed and could have more to come. |

11st 4lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who looked suited by the step up to 2m7f when keeping on well for second at Uttoxeter (good) a fortnight ago; moves up in trip again today and can make her presence felt. |

2m1f and 2m3f hurdle winner; well beaten second at Taunton (3m, good to firm) in April but fared better here (2m5f, good) latest; not ruled out but she does have a bit to prove over his trip. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual bumper winner (first two starts) who had struggled to match that level over hurdles until a close third of nine at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last June off 1lb higher than today; that came after wind surgery and in a first-time tongue-tie (kept since) but she was pulled up at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) when next seen four weeks ago; mixed messages. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dual bumper winner (first two starts) who had struggled to match that level over hurdles until a close third of nine at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last June, following wind surgery and fitted with a tongue-tie (retained); that was more like it, but she'll need to back that up returning from a 264-day break and down in trip. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |

Dual bumper winner (first two starts); has so far been unable to improve on that form over hurdles; has had wind surgery since well beaten at Chepstow (2m7f, good) latest; better is needed. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner who had been running well in both codes until a well-held fifth in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle 39 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
5th 10 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-20 under rules but runner-up in two of her last three runs, including over hurdles at Hereford (2m5f, good) in November; sole win was on good to firm ground but she handles soft (more to prove on heavy) and has possibilities back in this sphere. |
10/1 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well supported when scoring at Taunton (3m, good to firm) on penultimate start, her first after wind surgery; went up 5lb for that; couldn't match that effort when dropped back to 2m2f here latest; drops 1lb and the return to further should suit; player. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Stopped too quickly at Cartmel latest (2m6f, good to soft) for either the 4lb rise for her previous Newton Abbot success (3m2f, good) or the quirky course to seem the issue; step back up in trip is a plus, but questions to answer again; cheekpieces discarded. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Kept on well for narrow success at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) this month, opening her hurdling account at the eighth attempt; will be fine on the forecast slower ground and further progress is possible if combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces has positive effect. |
5/2 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Third in a mares' bumper here (good) on debut last year; unable to improve on that level of form but was third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January; below that level twice since; half-sister to a 3m winner, so this longer trip might see her find some improvement. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the soft ground when well beaten at Cartmel (2m6f) ten weeks ago but was runner-up on her two previous outings (both 3m2f, good; once here) and Sean Bowen is booked today. |
9/2 |

10th 8 |
27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Effective on tight left-handed tracks having finished second at Stratford and Newton Abbot the last twice, not beaten far either time; those were over 3m2f but she's fine over this far. |
5/1 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
2m5f hurdle winner (soft) last December, when with Robert Walford; form then tailed off; back in better form for this trainer last month, equalling her best RPR when a close second over C&D (good); now needs to back that up and she's a player if able to do so. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |

2m7f hurdle winner (good to soft) in May 2023; well below par on her last five starts; blinkers now accompany tongue-tie; back on her winning mark but plenty to prove. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when very respectable fourth over C&D (good) on rules return in June but is effectively 3lb higher today and, on balance, others look stronger. |
16/1 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |

Fast-ground point winner whose two attempts over hurdles have offered little encouragement. |
