26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in February and, switched to handicaps, was only just denied back here in April (good); raised 4lb since that latest effort but remains open to progress and a leading contender, with a promising 5lb claimer booked. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hinted at minor ability before having wind surgery and the operation seemed to help as she forged clear of A Tickatickatiming on handicap debut over C&D (soft) in February; should make a go of it off 3lb higher. |

1st 3 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 0-5 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles with modest RPRs under this code, including over C&D, but she may take a step forward now handicapping on first start since wind surgery; behind Penn Avenue on latest effort. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner on this course in 2023; has run some good races in defeat here since early last spring and has a chance at the weights with Yasmina on a C&D run in February; improvement not really in the offing but she can be involved. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 169y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Bumper and 2m hurdle (good to soft) winner here in 2023 and, although winless since in limited appearances, has posted some solid placed efforts; had excuses when tailed off here latest, too free and failed to stay 2m4f; likely to fare better now returning to a shorter trip and quicker ground. |
11/2 |

4th 2 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper and 2m hurdle (good to soft) winner here in 2023 and, although winless since in limited appearances, has posted some solid placed efforts, most recently when collared late over 2m here a fortnight ago; goes back up in trip and likely to be involved again. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner; no easy task in a maiden last time and has run well in a couple of handicaps; could have a part to play if reacting positively to the new tongue-tie. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles and the worst of those runs was the latest in a handicap at Carlisle; gets all the allowances as a 4yo filly but others probably have greater upside even if she is back to something like her best. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-5 over hurdles but very consistent and every chance of being involved off a slightly reduced mark. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-7 over hurdles though reaching the frame on three starts at Plumpton this year, all over 2m; made an underwhelming switch to fences last month at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) trailing in last of the five finishers; needs to raise her game. |
20/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but made the frame on all three outings this year (all over 2m at Plumpton); moves back up in trip for this chasing debut with cheekpieces (worn once) removed; seems versatile regarding ground; can feature if he gets into a good jumping rhythm. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
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. |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Achieved little since her return last month (stable/handicap debut) from a lengthy absence, including when last of six finishers at Plumpton nine days ago; goes up in trip and while things can only get better, she's hard to suggest until showing something. |

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

Achieved nothing on return from lengthy absence last time (stable/handicap debut) but may fare better with that outing under her belt; showed some encouraging bumper/hurdles form in 2023-24. |

Juvenile hurdler in the summer/autumn of 2024, failing to progress from Newton Abbot win; absent and had wind surgery since; market may prove best guide to expectations on belated reappearance. |

2nd 4 |
4th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway and went second after 3 out, no extra approaching last, no chance with winner when jumped right last |
5/1 |

3rd 2 |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bought by Evan Williams after going close in 1m2f AW maiden in April and made good start to hurdling career when beating her ten rivals fairly comfortably over C&D (good) last month; obvious contender under penalty. |
