15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Sole defeat in her last four races came at the hands of a progressive horse at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft); shrugged aside that minor blip with a workmanlike win at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); 3lb rise isn't the end of the world. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
The hat-trick bid came up shy at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft; after two months off) but only went up 2lb despite finishing well clear of the third, and behind a progressive winner; considered. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |

Bids for a hat-trick, having made all in mares' contests over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) and Aintree (good to soft) in December, taking record to 3-8; upped in grade and goes back against males but is a progressive contender. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Second in a Listed bumper last season and won the mares' final at Newbury (2m4f handicap, good) in March; that was off 10lb lower but she's proving herself off this mark and only just missed out on the places at Leopardstown last time (2m2f, heavy); should have every chance. |

Second in a Listed bumper last season and won the mares' final at Newbury (2m4f handicap, good) in March on her fourth start over hurdles; useful standard of form overall; second when favourite at Cheltenham last time; interesting but may find the locals too good. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |

Had a near miss at Leicester in December (2m4f, soft) but now has to bounce back from three lesser efforts; wears a first-time visor. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |

Has performed moderately the last twice but her near miss behind One Eye On Vegas at Leicester in December (2m4f, soft) brings her into this; hard to be confident about her chances, though. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Campaigned mostly over further (stays 2m6f); ran poorly last time, failing to back up her reappearance effort; 2-2 at Ffos Las but this drop back in trip presents a question mark. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ludlow (2m) in December and in good form until finishing last of ten in 2m4f Sandown handicap four weeks ago; the sort who might bounce back though. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Gained all six hurdle wins at around 2m but ran quite well when fourth at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month; current mark is workable (even from 1lb out of the weights) and Sean Bowen takes over today; could have a say. |
16/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m; record is 6-21, the most recent win at Ludlow in December; placed twice since, including at Newbury when ahead of Rula Bula; gives the impression this return to further is worth exploring. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a novice here (2m5f, good to soft) in December 2024 but she's been up and down in handicaps since; finished second of five at Newbury (3m, soft) in February but she didn't fire at Chepstow (2m3f) last time; now goes back up in trip and down in grade but this is competitive and others are more persuasive. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
0-2 over fences and back hurdling on last two starts, most recently outstayed by the winner over 3m at Newbury (soft); neither hurdle wins were in handicaps but this mark is fine; should run well. |

17th Feb 2026 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on peak hurdle form and her second on chase debut in September; pulled up next time and didn't offer much back over hurdles at Kempton, and that was three months ago. |

Points scorer but she's failed to progress over hurdles and was tried in cheekpieces when pulled up in 2m5f Warwick handicap 23 days ago; headgear is quickly dispensed with. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |

Point winner; the Ludlow third in December (2m5f novice; good to soft) offers some hope off this mark but lesser runs have followed, including her handicap debut when a 25-1 chance; cheekpieces added. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |

Point winner who is lightly raced under rules and this is her handicap debut; has run well enough on her last two starts to merit attention off this sort of mark. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Last season started well but petered out and it might be happening again, as although it wasn't a bad run behind Cheltenham Festival heroine White Noise two starts back, Chepstow last time was underwhelming (well behind Siog Geal; soft ground no excuse). |
20/1 |

7th 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Narrowly made a successful reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) off 5lb lower; worrying that last season petered out after starting well, though it was by no means a bad run at Newbury when 11l behind White Noise who won the Dawn Run at Cheltenham on Thursday; goes well fresh. |
6/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden hurdle on last season's return before delivering her best form yet when second in Newbury Listed race (2m, good to soft); her three runs after the turn of the year were disappointing, leaving her with a point to prove now. |

Multiple hurdle winner who is 0-5 over fences and has a bit to find with some of these; she also has to rebound from a modest effort at Chepstow and her stamina isn't guaranteed. |
33/1 |

8th 6 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who was beaten under 7l at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) before running well on unfavourable terms in a Listed chase at Wincanton; should have a part to play off a realistic mark. |

3rd 6 |
14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |

Five-time hurdle winner who is 0-4 over fences; ran respectably in a hurdle handicap at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) last month but this is a tough task on the figures and she fell over fences on her penultimate run; passed over. |

11st 3lb |
Won four on the trot at about 2m4f in 2024, culminating in a Grade 2 novice; hasn't recaptured that form since returning from an absence and she's in another competitive race here. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Won four on the trot in July-October 2024 at about 2m4f, culminating in a Grade 2 novice event; long absence before three runs this year, easily best of those last time and that display gave some encouragement for this longer trip, but jumping was sketchy and cheekpieces are now applied. |
