27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
The winner of two 2m1f novice events here (good to soft/good) last summer; however, she dropped out very tamely in a 3m1f handicap here on Saturday. |

Dual 2m1f novice winner here last summer (good to soft and good); well below that level twice after, albeit once in Listed company; effectiveness beyond 2m3f has yet to be tested. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in C&D maiden (good) in October; disappointing in handicap at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has had a break since and is not written off back here. |
9/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
A fairly useful ex-Irish maiden hurdler for Willie Mullins; yet to match that form for her current yard, including when second in 2m1f Cartmel novice hurdle in June having travelled best for a long way; she holds very good form claims nonetheless. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made all for clearcut success at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December, her sixth start over hurdles, and again ran well before fading into fourth at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) ten days ago; likely contender. |
5/1 |

4th 4 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up on the Flat and over hurdles in the autumn (including on soft ground) before getting off the mark at the 19th attempt (her sixth run over hurdles) at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last month; made all by 4l under Aaron Anderson and she's respected up 7lb. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Lacking for pace when keeping-on third at Kelso (2m2f, good) in September; it is a slight concern she has been absent since but this is a suitable level of competition and this longer trip should suit; low mileage and one to consider. |
5/2 |

3rd 5 |
17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Unexposed 6yo who was runner-up in a novice here (2m, good) in May but she's struggled in both runs since including on handicap debut at Perth (3m, good; 20-1) last month; now takes a big drop back in trip but she didn't jump well last time and has something to prove. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Struggled to get competitive in second half of last year and returns from break with overall strike-rate standing at 0-35; 4lb wrong; overlooked. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

0-18 over hurdles and 0-17 on the Flat; pulled up in C&D maiden in December and makes no significant appeal from 2b out of the weights on handicap return. |

0-9 under rules but has been placed in her last three starts over hurdles; sports first-time hood on chase debut and interesting if she carries on the momentum in this sphere. |
2/1 |

3rd 7 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

0-7 over hurdles but runner-up twice at Carlisle (2m1f, soft/2m3f, good to soft) since returning from a break last month and has another big role to play here. |

Out of a half-sister to smart jumper American Mike; not beaten far when third of four in a slowly run Kelso bumper on debut; never involved in a mares' hurdle at Cartmel. |

Just 1-26, winning a Navan claiming maiden in 2023; lost her form on AW last winter and poor back there last time; handles soft but not easy to fancy. |

12th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Sole win from 25 starts came at Navan in a maiden claimer in 2023 over 1m; highly tried at this venue earlier this year with her best effort being a 1.75l third over 1m4f; poor in five runs at this track following that and tailed off when attempting hurdles for the first time at Cartmel last time; tongue-tie now added to hood. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Improved to cause 40-1 shock over C&D (good to soft) on stable debut in June; pulled up on next outing but steadied the ship with very respectable handicap run here in August and has big role to play today. |
6/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Made a winning start for his current handler in novice over C&D but she was pulled up in similar company at Cartmel later in June; she needs to get back on track. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Pulled up on both hurdling starts for Nicky Richards this spring, but displayed a huge jolt of improvement to cause a 40-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft); likely contender under penalty. |

Maiden Irish pointer who was well beaten in three Cartmel novice hurdles (2m1f-2m6f) this summer; still very unexposed under rules but needs major improvement on this handicap debut; 2lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |
