6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Four wins (2m/2m5f) over hurdles, the last one off 2lb higher; 0-8 since switched to fences but ran well at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) most recently, pulling clear of the third; fighting chance. |

2nd 4 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Didn't run badly when fourth of nine at Windsor (2m4f, soft) last month and she continues to edge down the weights; however, she needs something extra today's if she's to break her chasing duck at the eighth attempt. |

4th 5 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has slipped to 2lb below last winning hurdles mark but seems far from certain to take advantage, being a fairly exposed mare who has failed to show her form in two starts this season, taking chase record to 0-6; faces some progressive opponents. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won twice over fences, both over 2m4f; fair third in a mares' handicap at Ludlow last time (2m4f, soft); could go well but perhaps better at shorter. |
9/4 |

3rd 6 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
10yo whose losing sequence is up to 13 after disappointing run at Windsor (2m4f, soft) latest; however, she was runner-up on final two outings in 2025 (2m4f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and might not be far away if back on song. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
2-13 over fences when trained by Henry Daly, the latter win gained at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last month; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 3m but, having recently changed hands for £22,000, still has strong claims on this stable debut. |

1st 1 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort of her 2025-26 campaign when neck second, clear of the remainder, at Stratford (2m3f, good) last time; appears capable of going one better, having recorded sole chase success (November 2024) off current mark. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
On a losing sequence and she came in a below-par fourth of eight in 2m4f Ludlow handicap chase last month; needs to take a step forward. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Won four-runner mares' chase at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month and is now 4-9 over fences; this race is much more competitive but she could have untapped potential over 3m. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle winner on soft but two chase wins in 2025 were on good to soft, latterly at Cheltenham (about 2m4f) in December, and failures since have come on heavy and soft; needs to jump better than she did at Ludlow in February (over 17l behind Malaita) but she could revive back on good ground. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Returns to hurdling after going 0-5 over fences, producing only one effort of real note; nothing wrong with her mark if getting back in this discipline floats her boat. |
5/1 |
|
6th 7 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
No match for Irish Chorus here in March but she's got a handy pull in the weights with that rival and she lost a shoe when beaten 12l at Stratford; not discounted. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to add to her two hurdling successes (at about 2m4f) in this sphere but she comes here after a very good second of six in 2m Warwick handicap 20 days ago; that form is working out well so she's a big player eased 1lb for yard back among the winners. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
8lb higher than for last year's convincing win in this race which was staged at Cheltenham; only subsequent win in six races came at the expense of just three rivals at Ludlow in November (3m1f, good); lacklustre in her last three starts and hard to support with any confidence. |

4th 1 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
3-8 over fences, including a win in valuable series final at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) last April; lacklustre when pulled up (albeit on soft ground) on last two outings, though, and can't be supported with much confidence here. |
6/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-5 over fences with win here (3m1f, good) in November and good Listed second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) next time; perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December last time; could bounce back with a big run if conditions suit. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Ex-Irish mare who has been a bit up and down for Dan Skelton but did run well at Leicecster last time (2m4f, good to soft) given one notable mistake that she made; won't mind returning to further and off this mark she's entitled to have a major say. |
6/4 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
First three runs this season were solid, notably a win at Exeter (3m, good) in November followed by a close second over 2m4f at Cheltenham; disappointed at Hereford a week later, though, and pulled up on return from a two-month break 16 days ago, so now has something to prove; however, a bounce-back would not surprise. |
5/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Exeter (3m, good) in November on second stable start before close second of 15 to Party Vibes at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December; her run at Hereford seven days later may have come too soon (3m1f, soft; ground shouldn't have been an issue); remains of interest for top yard. |
