23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Third to Greyval 12 months ago off the same mark; hadn't been at her best this season but came good at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) and clearly capable of having some say in the outcome. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Exposed mare who hasn't been quite at her best this season, but is on a good mark (3lb lower than for last win); has an each-way chance. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Rather hit and miss since her last win (2m4f, good to soft) in October 2024 and she was pulled up at Fakenham eight days ago; back on her last winning mark but has a bit to prove at present. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-4 under rules when winning at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in January on second handicap start and good second at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) subsequently; this progressive 7yo holds very solid claims. |

2nd 1 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Placed in her two Irish points (3m, soft); has won a bumper, a novice hurdle and last time a handicap hurdle at 2m/2m1f on good/good to soft under rules, her only hurdles defeat when fourth on soft ground at Wincanton when returning from a 410-day break; should be suited by the step up to 2m4f; contender. |
9/2 |

1st 5 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who made all in a Uttoxeter mares' maiden (2m, good) on hurdle debut in November 2024; made an encouraging reappearance at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) last month on handicap debut and it wouldn't be a surprise should she figure here with that run behind her. |

Has progressed well since having wind surgery in September, winning 2m4f handicaps at Ffos Las (soft) and Southwell (good to soft); creditable second to an odds-on shot in a novice at Ayr last time; each-way chance. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won easily this winter over about 3m on good to soft at Newcastle and Musselburgh; fourth off revised mark at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) was another good effort but tailed off at Musselburgh 11 days ago when most of the hurdles were omitted; needs to resume improvement in first-time cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

12th 3 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in December and followed up over this C&D (good to soft), again easily; having gone up the weights she was fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) last time but that was still a good run in a warm mares' handicap and she's one to consider today. |
6/1 |

4th 5 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has improved following wind surgery this season, winning handicaps at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) and Musselburgh (3m, good to soft); went up 9lb for latest win, so facing stiff task here, particularly as she is down in trip. |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has proved consistent so far, including winning a Southwell bumper (good) last summer and a Sedgefield novice hurdle (2m4f, good to soft) in January; not beaten far on handicap debut here (2m4f, soft) last month and shapes as though this longer trip may suit; player |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in five-runner mares' novice at Sedgefield last time (2m4f, good to soft); could go well on handicap debut. |
7/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Building up a solid record, having won her sole bumper start and shown consistency in maiden hurdles, beating all bar the market leader at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) most recently; sibling to four jumps winners for her connections and looks on her way to following suit. |

10st 10lb |
About 11l fourth to Betty's Daisy at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) on second start over hurdles; a bit better when coming from the rear for sixth of 12 at Market Rasen (near 2m5f, soft) on latest, which isn't the most persuasive evidence but this handicap debut should give her a better chance. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Has improved for good ground in winning her last two races (2m3f/2m5f), both with plenty in hand; raised 10lb for last time but she's only raced 13 times and is clearly on the upgrade. |
11/4 |

1st 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Would have found conditions too soft when seventh behind Pretending at Market Rasen and she then justified market confidence with a narrow win at Bangor (2m3f, good); she travelled much the best in that race but the handicapper went with an 11lb rise and that asks major questions in this loftier grade. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both her novice wins came on good ground and she'll appreciate a return to such conditions after running fairly well on soft last time at Market Rasen (2m4f); considered off her lowest mark in a handicap. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |

7-27 over hurdles, including a good-ground C&D win; not firing on all cylinders since last autumn but wasn't beaten far when fifth of seven in refitted cheekpieces at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month and continues to slip down the weights. |

12st 0lb |
Suffered her first reverse under rules when pulled up on reappearance (2m7f; reportedly made a respiratory noise); off three months (wind surgery) before Market Rasen (extended 2m4f, soft) in February when by no means disgraced in form terms, although that 10l ninth of 12 shows that improvement is needed if others give their running; dropped 2lb, 7lb claimer is recruited and the opposition have their own questions to answer. |

9th 4 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Won a Lingfield mares' maiden hurdle in February (2m3f, heavy) and good second in a mares' event on handicap debut at Uttoxeter the following month; reportedly made a respiratory noise when pulled up on reappearance; has since had wind surgery and much better expected. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Point winner (3m, soft) who returned from an absence to post promising fourth on hurdle debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) in January; had to work hard to win at 2-5 at Lingfield (2m3f, heavy) last month but could have plenty more to offer and her yard is in excellent form; handicap debut. |

Triple hurdle winner who scored off 3lb higher at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last February; some creditable efforts since but she didn't fire in a mares' handicap at Market Rasen (tenth of 12) last month; needs to step up again after that and others are more persuasive. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Won a similar event off this mark at Ludlow last season (2m5f, good to soft); fair form this term, last time finishing a creditable 7l second at Fakenham (2m4f, good to soft; Mermaids Cave behind when falling at the last). |

Back on the up (in first-time cheekpieces) when easily landing a gamble in 2m1f handicap at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; up 7lb but runner-up has gone in since so this C&D winner merits serious consideration in retained headgear. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two novice hurdles on good ground last May (2m/2m1f); no impact at 12-1 or bigger in five handicaps but she rallied to finish a respectable sixth of 15 at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in March; continues to drop down the weights and could be dangerous if first-time cheekpieces work. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
