6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper scorer who won by 15l in a Catterick maiden (1m7f, good) in March but she was pulled up on her handicap debut at Kelso (2m, good to soft) last time; still has low mileage but she's not been easy to predict and needs to bounce back again. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Bumper winner (good to soft) who had been headed but was disputing second when falling two out at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in December on her sole handicap start; she's since easily won a maiden at Catterick (1m7f, good) and she could be progressive; not discounted. |

Runner-up on hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m4f); struggled behind Saturday's Grade 2 Kelso scorer Montemares at Hereford then fell when last in action but still goes on the shortlist here; drops back in trip following an 11-week absence. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up on sole point start and solid efforts in two of her three bumpers; the best of two maiden hurdle runs came when beaten 6.75l at Fairyhouse last time; a repeat of that form back in a bumper will see her go close. |
9/4 |

3rd 7 |
4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up in a point, and in a 2m Cork bumper last season before finishing in mid-division in a competitive 2m4f mares' bumper at this venue; did not appear again until odds-on favourite for a maiden at Catterick a month ago; failed to threaten a 15l winner; may do better in a stronger-run contest. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in a point, and in a Cork bumper (2m, good; 15-8 favourite); off since weakening over 2m4f (NHF; beaten 24l) at Fairyhouse last April; dam was a 2m7f-3m hurdle winner so, in an added tongue-tie, she commands respect on hurdles debut; Sean Bowen is booked. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won on the AW in Ireland in the autumn (1m4f; RPR 76) and bettered inauspicious stable/hurdle debut (wore cheekpieces) when third of eight (albeit well held) at Catterick (1m7f, good; blinkers refitted) last month; can collect another minor prize here. |

3rd 8 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Flat winner for Donnacha O'Brien at Dundalk (1m4f AW; on handicap debut) last October prior to changing hands for 21,000gns; toiled on hurdles/stable debut at Doncaster (2m; beaten 94l) over Christmas; safer to focus elsewhere. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Handicap and AW debutante; improved effort in first-time blinkers (retained) at Cork in August (rolled around in straight); related to an AW winner and worth a market check. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in two of her three bumpers last year but she's yet to transfer that promise in three runs over hurdles (1m7f-2m3f), all on good; however, there could be more to come now switched to handicaps and stepped up in trip, off what looks a fair opening mark if she can rediscover some spark. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Placed in two of her three bumpers last year but both hurdle runs last month (1m7f/2m3f) were disappointing; still has plenty of time to get her act together over jumps but arrives here with quite a bit to prove. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in two of her three bumpers; embarked on her hurdles campaign with a 21l defeat at Catterick (extended 1m7f, good; 9-2) two weeks ago and is probably looking at another minor honour. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Runner-up in three 2m handicaps this spring (good/good to firm), twice at Plumpton and once at Huntingdon; that form isn't anything to go wild about and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she has another big role to play here. |
13/8 |

2nd 4 |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has taken a marked step forward since switched to handicaps, going close when second over C&D and backing that up with an even better effort when filling the same position at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) seven days ago; another to consider. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Doesn't help herself by tending to race far too freely but belied 33-1 odds when close second on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) and has possibilities if Tabitha Worsley can keep a lid on her 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. |
6/1 |

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

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Didn't show much on her first two starts but there was more encouragement in a close sixth of ten in novice at Kelso (2m, good to soft; 300-1) last month; may improve further. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Low-key debut for Sandy Thomson at Wetherby (2m NHF; 13-2, beaten 23l) in November 2024; returns from a 462-day absence for a different trainer for hurdles debut; likely to need more time. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |

Showed some fair form without winning on the Flat but she yet to show any form in a trio of runs in this sphere, cheekpieces on when last of eight in 2m Catterick novice nine days ago; it's very easy to look elsewhere. |
