21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Highly progressive for new yard this season and has won handicaps on her last four hurdle starts (2m7f-3m1f, good-soft), most recently in comfortable fashion at Ludlow last month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but it remains to be seen where her limitations now lie. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
3-7 for new stable since last summer, with one win gained over C&D (good) and the latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this race is more competitive but she might still be on the upgrade. |
9/2 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on yielding ground in Ireland but her two hurdle wins (2m7f and 3m) in October were both on good ground and good to soft is probably as slow as she wants it; fell on her return to fences before Christmas and needs to justify a career-high mark, 7lb higher than her latest win. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won this two years ago and was only a short-head away last year; higher in the weights now but had been in career best form until last run which was in a strong handicap; has to be feared. |
7/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Better than ever in her last three starts over 2m5f and 3m; highly likely to run another solid race but this is stronger than she's accustomed to. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
In career-best form this season, winning from the front here (2m5f, good to soft) in December before clear second to Magical Maggie over that trip here (soft) three weeks ago; will be on the premises again if suited by today's extra distance. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Very closely matched with Masked Dance on their two Ludlow encounters in February, over 2m5f (soft) and 3m (good to soft); she's fine after a break and should have a part to play. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently when fending off Masked Dance over 2m5f (soft) three weeks ago; unraced beyond that trip but remains well handicapped on older form; will be a tough nut to crack if her stamina holds out. |
3/1 |

1st 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m course winner in 2023 (both times on soft); returned from long absence with quite encouraging run over that trip here (good to soft) two months ago and has slipped to a good mark but her stamina for 2m5f must be taken on trust. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Unseated rider at the start at Chepstow two starts ago but she's run some good races this season, winning at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December and fourth of 15 at Windsor (3m, soft) in January; wears first-time cheekpieces and might not be far away. |
5/1 |

4th 2 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Scored at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December and made the frame in good-quality contests at Cheltenham (3m, good) and Windsor (soft) last month; blotted her copybook when unseating rider at the start at Chepstow recently but still commands respect. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner on good to soft in December and has held her own in Class 2s since then, including a placed effort behind live Stayers' Hurdle contender Ma Shantou; likeable type and should have every chance. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Ex-Irish 8yo who isn't having the best of seasons and beat one home at Ludlow recently (3m). |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; ran okay on last season's stable debut but has been out of form this term and it takes a big leap of faith to support her here. |
25/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |

Ex-Irish mare who isn't solid on her form for new stable; failed to beat a rival last time; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two hurdle wins, most recently in February, but she's been out of luck in three chase runs, including when a remote last of four at Uttoxeter (about 3m, good) in June; has it to prove for now. |
12/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Failed to convince as a chaser in two attempts at last season; subsequently won over hurdles (2m3f, soft) but her form dipped afterwards; took step back in right direction when well-held second in four-runner hurdle last month (3m2f, good to firm) but needs another on this return to fences. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Seemingly back in good nick when winning readily at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in February but ended last season with two lesser efforts (3m/2m7f) and has questions to answer again over this new trip. |
4/1 |
