1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good over fences at sixth attempt, with 3m success here (heavy) in January, and ran as well as could have been expected when fourth of five in Wincanton Listed race (1m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; still on a good mark; good chance. |

14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point/bumper winner, who made the breakthrough over fences at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) two weeks ago but that was a minor handicap and she has lots to find back at 2m in this Listed race. |

1st 5 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Commenced her career with point/bumper wins; 0-17 since (0-5 in chases) but has a largely consistent record at Ffos Las and looks a solid contender in that respect; on a reduced mark and drops back in grade. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Now 9lb below the mark of her sole hurdling success (2m3f, heavy), but aptitude for chasing remains unproven, falling mid-race on one attempt and racing too freely on the other. |
33/1 |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Mid-race faller in sole chase attempt; has a doubt over current form but is nicely treated assuming this return to fences prompts a resurgence; gained sole hurdles success off 5lb higher. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted career-best performance when coming from off the pace to score by 6l here (2m6f, soft) in November but returned from break with two lesser efforts last month (2m5f/3m1f) and now has a point to prove; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) back on today. |
7/1 |

4th 2 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
9yo who is lightly raced for her age and won at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in November on second run back from break; not seen to same effect at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) 12 days ago but she's better than that; not ruled out. |
16/1 |

6th 10 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced over last couple of years but bounced back to form at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in November, staying on well to win by 6l; subsequent 6lb rise may not be beyond her if the emphasis is on stamina again. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumped into a improver when second on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last March and held every chance before last-flight fall on seasonal reappearance there (2m6f, soft) in November; chasing has not gone to plan on her last two outings but she reverts to hurdling on a good mark and with a new visor fitted; big player if back on song. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Low-mileage maiden who has hurdles form at Ffos Las; modest effort (last of three finishers) at Lingfield switched to chasing last time but may improve for that experience. |
5/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-4 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up in trip when keeping-on second behind an improver on handicap debut here (2m4f, good; first-time tongie-tie) in March; had wind op during eight-month break; open to more improvement if this stiffer stamina test suits. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Suited by this track and has the assistance of Sean Bowen but has not been at her best since returning from a break in the autumn and would appeal more on good to soft or slower ground; 2lb out of the weights. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over 2m4f in late 2024; a couple of thirds in the meantime but pulled up the last twice when slow ground was no excuse. |
11/2 |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
First-time cheekpieces did the trick when she won at Ffos Las in November 2024 and she matched that form when third of 14 here (also about 2m4f, good to soft) last February; inconsistent and generally struggling since and pulled up after a bad mistake when blinkered for chase debut last time; handy mark, however, and the return to hurdles and cheekpieces might help. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in her first two handicaps (2m6f/2m7f) and competes from 3lb out the weights here; needs combination of first-time cheekpieces and switch to slow ground to enable huge improvement. |
14/1 |

8th 10 |
14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Glimmers of promise in novices (2m-2m3f) and reportedly resented the fast ground when tailed off on handicap debut (2m6f); only 11-1 for that and could be given another chance. |
16/1 |
|
4 |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Unexposed 5yo; showed only minor promise in her three qualifying runs but combination of new trip and first-time tongue-tie may enable improvement on this handicap debut. |
9/1 |
