13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
The recent Warwick win (2m3f, good to firm) came out of the blue but she was positively ridden in making all; only 3lb higher. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won off this mark at Taunton (2m, good) in April but she's struggled on her three starts since, for this yard on the last two occasions; a major turnaround is needed. |

Taunton winner in April (2m1f, good) but signed off for Tom Lacey on a low note and ran fairly miserably on last month's stable debut. |

Fontwell runner-up on her hurdling debut last May but she's twice failed to build on it, hooded when ninth in 2m Newbury novice in November; needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement after a break. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Quirky sort but she got off the mark in this sphere in 1m7f handicap at Wincanton 43 days ago, despite being reluctant at the start; up 4lb but she still merits serious consideration. |
7/4 |

1st 6 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Went mighty close at Leicester (soft) in November despite pulling hard and her trainer blamed three fairly quick runs when she disappointed at Uttoxeter (also 2m, heavy) the following month; freshened up since and she can't be ruled out. |
4/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Low-grade Flat winner; yet to be placed after five hurdling starts but kept on from the rear for very respectable fifth of 14 over C&D (good-first-time tongue-tie) this month; considered each-way. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Went close in a 2m1f course handicap in June and ran respectably when third the following month, but she's now 0-14 over hurdles and has a lesser effort to forgive last time; stamina to prove over the furthest she's been, although pedigree offers some hope. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Went close in low-grade C&D (good) handicap in June and didn't run badly when third of five over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but is 0-13 over hurdles now and faces tough task at these weights. |
20/1 |

3rd 6 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
12-race maiden over hurdles but has some solid placed form, most recently when a neck second over C&D in June (Linden Line 1l back in third); disappointed next time and was comfortably held in a C&D maiden under James Robottom last time, but she's a major threat if returning to her best. |

10st 13lb |
Has shown only poor form in four runs over hurdles, including when fifth of six finishers at Taunton (2m, good) last month on her handicap debut. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Only poor form shown thus far and she underwent breathing surgery before being pulled up on her yard debut in 2m Huntingdon maiden last month; handicap debutante. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair form shown in bumpers and when third on her hurdling debut at Warwick (2m) in October; has failed to go on though and she was tried in a hood when beating only one on her handicap debut at Wetherby (2m) last time. |
33/1 |

7th 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
She's not obviously well treated off her opening mark but her in-form trainer has found her a weak race for handicap debut and it's possible the first-time hood will prompt some improvement; market check advised. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Bagged a pair of handicaps (around 2m) at Fontwell and Market Rasen last spring; lightly raced since but not discredited given she was set plenty to do when fifth of nine at Huntingdon (2m) 29 days ago; considered off a 2lb lower mark. |
6/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual winner for Finn Lambert last spring, latterly off a 7lb lower mark; fair second on her comeback last November before well held on the AW early last month; drying weather definitely in her favour. |
10/1 |

9th 6 (4) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Dual AW winner (1m2f/1m3f), who scored twice over hurdles last spring and was runner-up on her Ludlow reappearance (2m, good) in November; now returns to the Flat but she's on a workable mark and her first win was on Tapeta; possibilities with Simon Walker booked. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just a respectable fourth of six over C&D (good) last month, her second run after a break, and now 0-9 over hurdles but has dropped another 2lb since and enters each-way calculations. |
7/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

0-17 under rules and was brought down early on at Taunton (2m, good) last month; has been placed a couple of times but is hard to fancy. |
13/2 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Still a maiden and she went in snatches when a fair sixth of 14 in 2m Worcester handicap in October; returns from a break in a refitted hood. |
