19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Started off in handicap hurdles with three good-ground wins for Kevin Philippart de Foy last spring (2m-2m1f) and is back on a good mark now; just a respectable fourth when back over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good) three weeks ago but still enters calculations. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
3-9 over hurdles but was tailed off in her final jumps run in November (2m2f, good) and she's been good and bad on the AW since then; C&D winner who is on a realistic mark but she is becoming tough to predict. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Rare Flat runner for her jumps-oriented yard; has been faring respectably in similar company of late, latterly in a Kempton handicap that didn't pan out ideally; one to consider. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra. |

3rd 3 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Found a warm Haydock class 2 stayers' handicap a step too far last month (22l last of nine), breaking a run of place finishes dating back to the autumn; races off her last winning mark back down in class. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Never better than when placed under Cameron Johnstone-Baker at Ascot (2m7f), Kempton (3m, again on good) and Warwick (3m2f, good to soft; behind Super Survivor) on last three outings; a bit extra is needed to win this warm race. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced since winning hurdle debut in October 2024 but has performed well on both outings this year, latterly when close second in small-field Plumpton handicap (2m2f, good to soft) last month; considered. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground bumper winner who finished third in an Aintree Grade 2 in April 2024; yet to replicate that level over hurdles, but she showed marked improvement after wind surgery when a 5.75l third at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 18 days ago, following a break; likely to build on that and, with Joe Anderson's useful 3lb claim, she looks set for a big run. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Two-time soft-ground bumper winner who has been disappointing on her three starts since winning on hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in October 2024; however, she returns from a break having had wind surgery and her Lambourn trainer does well here; not written off. |

11st 10lb |
Won for Harry Derham at Wincanton (2m5f, good) a year ago and returned from latest spell in Jersey with close second under regular rider Victoria Malzard at Ludlow (2m5f, good to firm) this month; won't be favoured by any rain but, otherwise, has solid claims. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Came good over hurdles over C&D (good to soft) in April and ran well in defeat off today's mark at Stratford (2m2f, good) on latest outing in July; probably won't be far away. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott (2m, good); off the mark over hurdles in a 2m5f Ludlow novice handicap in April (good to soft) but has been a bit disappointing since. |
8/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

3l ahead of Rockola when obliging at Ludlow in April (2m5f, good to soft); last-time 15l Aintree fourth off 4lb higher represents her best ever form effort going left-handed, but needs more again here. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Very well handicapped on old Irish form but returned from long absence with four disappointing chase runs towards end of last season and her current hurdling ability is very hard to gauge; tongue-tie removed after one use. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Very well handicapped on old form over shorter trips for Gordon Elliott but returned from long layoff with two disappointing runs this year; fared a bit better in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (3m, good; race won by Saint Doctor) a fortnight ago but looked held when unseating rider at fourth-last fence; upped in trip and fitted with tongue-tie here. |

Won this race readily by over 9l a year ago (good ground) and was placed over C&D on next two outings; returned from break with two down-the-field runs this summer (cheekpieces added last time) but is back on a good mark now and the return to this track is sure to suit. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Always behind at Market Rasen last month, after a break; she's better than that but all her best form is on sharp right-handed tracks, and she probably doesn't want significant rain; sports new cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

11th 10 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Her only win was in a Ludlow mares' handicap in October last year (2m5f, good); fair run at Huntingdon last time (May) but likely to improve for this outing after 100-day break. |
