22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Soundly beaten at Cartmel three weeks ago but the ground (good to soft, soft in places) may have been slower than ideal; in good heart there previously, posting a win (2m6f, good) and a creditable third (2m6f, good), and she's capable of having a big say. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Returned from layoff with comfortable win here (2m6f) in June and was creditable third in competitive race over that trip here (also good) in July; respected on that evidence and stays this longer distance but significant rain will reduce her appeal. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Returned from eight-month break in excellent form three weeks ago, winning comfortably by 10l over C&D (good); 8lb higher in higher-grade race today but still considered. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-6 for Adam Nichol and was only just denied off 3lb lower at Market Rasen a month ago (2m4f, good); in form and should stay this far. |
11/2 |

2nd 5 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-5 for new stable this year; gained the wins on heavy and good to soft ground but coped perfectly well with good ground when close third at Kelso (2m5f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; hood (worn for three of her last four races) is discarded; likely contender again. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won when the hood went back on at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and followed up at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); disappointing at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last time but she was missing the hood, which returns today along with a first-time tongue-tie; could have a part to play. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual C&D (good) winner this season, latterly when keeping on too strongly for Mr Lincoln last month; subsequent 4lb rise does not look excessive and capable 10lb claimer Leah Noreci is booked but the forecast rain is a worry. |
11/2 |

1st 6 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to win C&D (good) selling handicap for George Bewley in May, her tenth hurdling start, and also ran well when third here (2m6f, good) on last month's stable debut; this drop back in trip is probably the right move; ought to make her presence felt. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Her sole win (from 25 attempts) came 18 starts ago in May 2025; she didn't run badly off her reduced mark at Stratford recently but needs something extra if she's to snap her losing sequence today. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Her sole win from 24 starts was in a maiden hurdle last May; runner-up in a Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good) this spring but she's not gone on from that was well held back on the Flat last time; tongue-tie is now tried and she needs to raise her game back in this sphere. |
11/2 |

4th 4 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over hurdles but a modest Flat maiden for Brian Ellison; comes here in good nick over hurdles for new yard, sixth at Uttoxeter 13 days ago; not out of things back in this sphere. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Suggested her turn might be near again when second at Bangor (2m7f, good) in May but Cartmel last month was a backward step and she's now 0-6 for current stable; cheekpieces (worn once last year) tried again. |
14/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Dual novice winner for previous yard; building up some momentum for this one after beating all bar an improver at Bangor (2m7f, good); considered. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; struggled in first three runs for current yard but she showed signs of a revival when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last Saturday; was no match for the first two in that race but her mark continues to fall and she looks worth another try at this trip; could be dangerous. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Runner-up over 2m7f at Fakenham last month, since when she's finished 12l behind at Stratford; only 1-33 overall and others preferred for win purposes. |
12/1 |

7th 9 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip. |

Dual 1m4f AW Flat winner; 0-10 over hurdles, but decent runs at Worcester on last two starts, last time finishing a head second, clear of the remainder (3m, good); up 5lb; chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Dual AW winner; 0-9 over hurdles and not bred to benefit from this step up in trip but was keeping on at the end of 2m4f when placed here (good) last month and has possibilities if stamina holds out. |

Sole success came off 4lb lower at Kilbeggan in April 2025 (2m2f, gd-yld); soundly beaten in two runs since returning from a year off; needs to get back on track. |

8th 6 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a 2m2f handicap at Kilbeggan in April 2025 (good to yielding) and didn't run shockingly after a year out at Tramore two months ago; cheekpieces are turned to and this Irish challenger could go well. |
10/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 0y |

Absent since winning at Kilbeggan a year ago; might prefer better ground and is entitled to need the run; however, she is only 4lb higher than for her win and is worth a market check with Oran McGill claiming a valuable 5lb. |

Left behind previous two modest runs to finish a 2.25l second of 13 at Wexford (3m, good) in first-time blinkers (retained); should be in the mix if the headgear works again. |

2nd 3 |
23rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Went close at Perth and Galway over this trip last year but well below that form in two starts this year, pulled up at Cartmel 27 days ago; needs more in first-time blinkers. |
