2nd 4 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner who has posted mixed results since switched to chasing, best effort when third at Warwick (2m4f, good) on penultimate start; mistake contributed to her defeat there latest; still quite unexposed over this distance and not written off. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper and novice hurdle winner; 0-4 as a chaser but best form yet in this scene when a 3l fourth over C&D four weeks ago and entitled to build on that. |
7/4 |

3rd 2 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Bumper and novice hurdle winner who is in top hands and has dropped down the weights; could rebound at some stage but she needs to produce more than she's managed on her first three chase starts. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-12 over hurdles, latest in May off 4lb higher in this headgear combination, but has gone backwards since and was soundly beaten on both starts following wind surgery and a switch to fences; on a good mark and Harry Atkins' claim helps, so not completely ruled out if rediscovering some spark. |

7th 2 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Record of 3-12 over hurdles, the last win off this mark; had a wind operation prior to finishing tailed off on chase debut at Uttoxeter, where she was a weak 14-1 chance in a race won by a stronger-fancied stablemate; needs to better that performance. |
4/1 |

7th 5 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Record of 3-12 over hurdles and she's had a wind operation after a couple of lesser efforts; has never won over this far but has a pointing background; presumably neglected by Harry Skelton. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Opened account over C&D in May and followed up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, also good) a few days later; not quite in same form when making the frame on next two outings but still features prominently in calculations. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Showed improvement on her return when getting off the mark at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May, and followed up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) a week later; didn't fare too badly off 7lb higher when fourth of seven finishers at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) subsequently and may be worth another chance. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-8 over hurdles but ran well in defeat at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago, albeit in what looked a modest race, and enters calculations here. |
11/2 |

2nd 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nothing to show for four runs in handicaps and she's 5lb out of the weights here; what could help is the step up in trip from 2m4f. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
4lb wrong today in her fourth handicap and she has very ropey claims; maybe a move away from soft ground will help. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Went close in a 2m1f course handicap in June and ran respectably when third the following month, but she's now 0-14 over hurdles and has a lesser effort to forgive last time; stamina to prove over the furthest she's been, although pedigree offers some hope. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Went close in low-grade C&D (good) handicap in June and didn't run badly when third of five over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but is 0-13 over hurdles now and faces tough task at these weights. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
12-race maiden over hurdles but has some solid placed form, most recently when a neck second over C&D in June (Linden Line 1l back in third); disappointed next time and was comfortably held in a C&D maiden under James Robottom last time, but she's a major threat if returning to her best. |
