30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Five-time Flat winner (1m4f); justified strong market support when opening hurdles account here (2m, good to firm) in May, under Sean Bowen and shaping as though this longer trip would suit; up 6lb but remains capable of better after just eight starts in this sphere; leading contender. |

10st 10lb |
Has won once on the Flat in Poland and four times at Catterick (1m4f), but the best she has been able to muster in seven runs over hurdles is when third of nine finishers at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in November; interesting that Sean Bowen rides for the first time. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Turned things around when scoring at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in April and she followed up under a penalty Taunton (2m, good); came up a bit short in hat-trick bid over C&D (good to firm) last month but that was another good effort and she still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Relished the drop in trip and front-running tactics when getting off the mark in this sphere at Wincanton (1m7f, good; 25-1) last month; showed that was no fluke when following up at Taunton (2m, good) ten days later; 8lb higher here but this track should play to her strengths and looks the one to beat. |
4/5 |
|
1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Showed little in three runs at around 2m4f this season before finally opening her account over hurdles at the 12th attempt, when a switch to front-running tactics and a drop in trip at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago brought about the decisive breakthrough; subsequent penalty may not be enough to prevent another bold showing if she can replicate the effort. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden (0-11 on the Flat) who failed to threaten over hurdles last time; however, she ran okay in that code two starts ago and was runner-up on the Flat in February (1m6f, AW); not ruled out each-way in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces). |

Has shown little in four hurdle starts, including on handicap debut when pulled up at Warwick (2m5f, good) 26 days ago; sports first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and they need to have an impact. |

Juvenile bumper winner for previous stable, but has struggled over hurdles and beaten 21l+ in three starts, latterly in a hood (retained); makes handicap debut aided by Jamie Gambin's 10lb claim, but has plenty to prove and others make more obvious appeal. |
