3rd 6 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has three wins over hurdles but she has been below her best since returning from a 436-day break in February; down to a career-low mark in this sphere but best watched for now. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Six-time winner with three on the Flat and three over hurdles; returned after a lengthy absence in February but she's posted two respectable efforts over hurdles since; on dangerous mark back on the Flat but she's 0-21 on AW and others are preferred. |

3rd 1 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 2m3f hurdle winner on good ground; pulled up on soft at end of last year but returned from a break with a quite encouraging fifth of 12 at Warwick (2m5f, good) this month and enters calculations here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hereford (2m3f, good) winner under Fern O'Brien in April last year and virtually matched that effort on her comeback run at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November; best forgiven her follow-up effort back there in December as the soft ground went against her; wouldn't want any rain but returns on a competitive mark and not ruled out. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has placed form but she's now 0-17 after finishing well behind Son Of Tyran at Ludlow. |
16/1 |

7th 3 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Pulled up in three of her five attempts over hurdles including over 2m on handicap debut at Plumpton (reported to have bled from the nose) last month; still early days in this sphere but she has lots to prove back up in trip. |
25/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Pulled up in two of her four attempts over hurdles; remote third in C&D maiden (soft; 100-1) three weeks ago; sports newly applied cheekpieces for handicap debut. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Low-level maiden who's faced this sort of test on four of her last five starts and is 14lb out of the handicap this time. |
100/1 |
|
6th 7 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Has decidedly poor form and is again well out of the weights. |

Betting Forcast
5/1 Shinealight, 8/1 Parikarma, 9/2 Mistral Blue, Evs Loro White, 6/1 Edna E Mode, 33/1 My Lovely Horse, 100/1 Dontworrywegotthis
Verdict
This can go to the unexposed LORO WHITE provided she gets home on this step up in trip. Second choice is Mistral Blue who has two wins in this sphere and ran well when third last time. Shinealight has yet to score over hurdles but her fourth last time was respectable. Parikarma has won off a higher mark than this so cannot be readily dismissed. [Andrew Bladen]
