22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Made a nice debut to be third in a Uttoxeter bumper (good to soft) and the ground was heavy next time; could be a factor. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Half-sister to smart jumpers Easter Legend and Easter Meteor; the yard's apparent second string at Uttoxeter (good to soft) but finished in front of her stablemate, coming off the pace to be beaten three and a half lengths; that form gives her every chance and she should improve. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Beaten about 11l in a good-ground bumper at Fontwell and was never closer than that; open to improvement over hurdles. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
First foal; dam bumper winner, sister to fair hurdler Touchy Feely, closely related to stable's useful bumper/jumps winner Sure Touch; trainer does well in bumpers (20% strike-rate); appealing on paper. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt over hurdles when keeping on well for a 16-1 win at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) last month; up 5lb but she responded well to a tongue-tie last time and is open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in points but this Jet Away mare has yet to offer much in five runs under rules, undergoing breathing surgery before coming in last of 11 on her first go in handicaps at Taunton (2m3f) last month; tongue tied now. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in an Irish point and she shaped encouragingly on her hurdling debut when fourth in 2m Worcester novice in October; has failed to kick on since, beating only one in 2m Wincanton maiden the following month, and she needs a subsequent breathing operation to spark improvement in handicaps. |

Third foal; half-sister to point winner Sparkling Bird; dam well held in bumpers/2m4f hurdle, half-sister to smart winners Royal Regatta (bumper and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase) and Three Musketeers (2m4f-2m5f hurdle/chase); had wind surgery; watch out for any confidence behind her. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Tongue tied for her last three starts and it's made a difference; after her defeat at Warwick (2m3f, heavy) she didn't look an obvious candidate for the Grade 2 over 2m1f at the Cheltenham Festival (good), but in the van throughout she dug deepest when it mattered to spring a 40-1 surprise; there was no fluke about it and the third has since finished runner-up in a Grade 1; carries a penalty back at Listed level. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Tongue tied for her last two starts; her winning spree ended when narrowly foiled by Kingston Queen in a Grade 2 at Warwick last month (2m3f, heavy) and she probably needs that trip or even further ideally. |
33/1 |

2nd 9 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Progressive mare who won Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) by 5l just after Christmas and is now 3-3 over hurdles this season; has good chance at the weights on this return to novice company, assuming she copes well with the slower ground. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a bumper but beaten between 23l and 46l over hurdles (2m); 28-1 for last month's chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) where she was still in touch when falling five out; there was still a long way to go but this looks an even weaker race. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won her bumper here; beaten between 23l and 46l over hurdles (2m) so goes chasing/handicapping with much to prove on a few counts. |
15/2 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
All three starts over 2m on good ground; 15-2 and won small-field bumper at Warwick in May; beaten 23l on hurdles debut at Worcester in October but that form received an elephantine boost when the winner landed the Dawn Run at last week's Cheltenham Festival; had an excuse (bled) when last seen in November; requires a second look. |

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

Lowly rated maiden on the Flat for Harry Eustace; makes stable/hurdle debut after 444-day absence; can only be watched. |

No improvement since switched to handicaps this year; dropping down the weights but others look safer. |

First foal out of a 2m3f/2m4f hurdle winner; wouldn't be the obvious answer to this. |
