23rd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Second of five on Huntingdon debut (2m, good) in November 2024 but she was tailed off at Doncaster 18 days later; on the sidelines since and has something to prove back after a long absence. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Hooded for both starts; bettered last November's low-key debut when fourth of 11 over C&D (good; against males) nine days ago and any further progress will give her each-way claims at least. |
8/1 |
|
4th 11 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Hooded and 10-1 when never a threat at Carlisle (soft) in November; market support would help her enter the picture on this first start since. |

Runner up in a Tipperary maiden hurdle in May (2m1f, gd-yld) but has struggled in four handicap starts since; rated just 96 and looks to be up against it on these terms. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind operation when winning a classified event at Windsor (1m4f, good to soft) last month and backed that up with a good second behind an in-form rival at Ayr (1m5f, soft); acts on the AW and she makes the shortlist on this return to handicap company. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Turned things around after wind surgery with a comfortable win in a classified event at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago; has to concede weight all round this time but her confidence should be boosted after that win and she's strongly respected back up in trip. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Point winner; placed in Aintree bumper (close second; form has substance) and Lingfield maiden hurdle (third over 2m3f) under rules; all starts on good to soft ground; holds solid claims judged on record thus far. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Half-sister to smart pair Embittered and Precious Cargo; 8l winner of a point bumper (2m, good to soft) in March; narrow defeat when 10-1 for 11-runner bumper at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) last month, travelling well before hanging left, confirmed that she has plenty of ability. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat racer at up to 1m6f with 4-22 strike-rate; close second on hurdle debut at Stratford (good to firm) before finishing a well-held third behind a classy sort back there a month ago; can go well. |
4/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

Fair Flat racer at up to 1m6f with 4-22 strike-rate; took pretty well to hurdling and belied 20-1 odds when second (just ahead of Maskarvel) over C&D (good to firm) last month and has each-way claims at least. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Left Ralph Beckett for 9,500gns and as a five-race maiden (1m-9.4f); it wasn't a bad final run (fifth of ten; in a tongue-tie and cheekpieces) and as a 3yo filly she receives all the allowances. |
12/1 |

5th 10 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Not solid on AW form but brings possible sources of improvement, namely addition of tongue-tie and new surface; receives weight all round and could go well. |
10/1 |
Betting Forcast
10/1 Blue Topaz, 9/2 Datstheholyallofit, 33/1 Do Wah Diddy, 25/1 Dreaming Of The Dr, 11/2 Elated, 33/1 Evenly, 12/1 Lady Bee Great, 20/1 Nala The Lioness, 13/8 Sparkling Water, 16/1 Sweet Honey B, 100/1 Whinny Houston, 66/1 Matilda Maid, 100/1 Pearl Knot, 6/1 Take The Boat, 33/1 Adba
Verdict
Harry Skelton’s hurdling debutante SPARKLING WATER created a good impression in a Uttoxeter bumper last month and is probably the one to beat. That said, Datstheholyallofit (second choice) also won a bumper in good style, while Elated and Take The Boat have shown hurdling form that will probably put them on the premises.[Chris Wilson]
