17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Point/bumper winner last season; hasn't hit the ground running over hurdles (hooded the last twice) and was 14-1 when departing mid-race in a Kempton maiden on Boxing Day; bit to prove right now. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Bought for £280,000 after winning an Irish point (good ground; well-backed favourite) and made light work of Three Runs Mary in a soft-ground bumper at Newbury in March; hasn't put a foot wrong and looks decidedly useful. |

11st 0lb |
Went close at Taunton (2m, good to soft) in January on second hurdle start and improved again to win there (2m, heavy) last month; could continue to progress now switched to handicaps and she's one to consider. |

1st 2 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Built upon her bumper promise (including on heavy ground) when going close over C&D last month on her second hurdle start (good to soft; led); open to further improvement and she holds solid claims. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran okay in her two bumpers (good to soft/heavy) but, following wind surgery, her hurdling debut at Wincanton was very underwhelming and 2m5f shouldn't have been an issue on breeding; still early days. |

Dug deep to win soft-ground Newbury bumper on debut last season and has made the frame on three of her four hurdling starts this term; does not appear to be making any progress but ought to be on the premises here. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Appears betwixt and between trip-wise at present, not seeing out 2m4f at Southwell before registering a keeping-on third over Taunton's 2m1f latest (good to soft); may fare better in handicaps either way. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
It wasn't a strong maiden she won at Plumpton (2m4f, good) but she breezed home despite a late mistake; not the biggest of mares but well bred and should be able to cope with this opening mark. |
3/1 |

1st 2 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Closely related to connections' smart hurdler Doddiethegreat; good-ground bumper winner who has performed okay in two runs over hurdles; latest conqueror at Chepstow (a stablemate of Pigeon Forge; 2m3f, soft) looks a nice prospect; clear claims. |
4/5 |

2nd 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Closely related to the same connections' smart hurdler Doddiethegreat; after winning a Southwell bumper on good ground she stopped quickly on soft in a Listed race at Cheltenham; got back on track with a respectable fourth at Taunton (2m, good to soft) which sets the standard here on hurdle form. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Placed in two bumpers; fair form in runs over hurdles, last time finishing 10.5l fifth of 13 in a Taunton mares' maiden (2m, good to soft; form working out quite well); interesting. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Competitive in her two bumpers but at 22-1 she was soon left behind in a Hereford maiden; has to step up on that form. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Half-sister to useful jumpers Frontal Assault, The Folkes Tiara and Riskintheground; made promising debut when second of nine at Worcester (good) in May, albeit grossly flattered by proximity to hard-held winner, and ought to be on the premises again here. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten in latest qualifying race (raced too freely) but her midfield finish at Kempton (2m, good to soft) two starts ago was promising, and her pedigree suggests she'll be suited by this hike up in trip on her handicap debut. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |

Ordinary form in bumpers; slightly better, without getting competitive, in two attempts over hurdles, the latest at Kempton (2m mares' maiden; eighth of 16; 250-1) over a month ago; handicapping awaits. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Ordinary form in two bumpers and she was ultimately well held when switched to hurdles at Taunton (2m, good to soft; 100-1) recently. |

Bought for £50,000 last May after winning two points; beaten 10l in both her bumpers and wouldn't be the obvious answer on her hurdling debut. |

2-5 in Irish points, the latter win gained on good ground in May; subsequently changed hands for £50,000 and is one of two new recruits introduced by Fergal O'Brien here. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

First foal of a useful jumps winner for her connections; duly showed some promise in bumpers; hasn't fared so well in maiden/novice hurdles but looks the type to improve sharply now qualified for handicaps; interesting. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Hinted at a future in bumpers but weak in the betting for both runs over hurdles and hasn't featured; might be one for handicaps. |
