2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 2f 19y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Grade 2-winning chaser who ran well to be eighth in the 2024 Grand National; last season ended disappointingly (latterly in the Midlands National when tongue-tie joined regular cheekpieces) but she was second in the 2m4f Listed race on this card before respectable efforts in the Coral Gold Cup and Welsh National (won by Val Dancer); stays this far and the handicapper has given her a chance; interesting. |

29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Something to prove regarding current form having been well beaten over fences the last twice; however, perhaps the first-time visor and/or the return to hurdles will prompt a revival, and she's on a competitive mark; won over fences here in December and is a two-time hurdle winner on heavy ground. |

10th Apr 2023 Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
11st 2lb |
More a summer type, she probably found ground a little testing when last seen; impressive at Sligo previously but a lot on her plate here off a break; rider 2-11 chasing. |

3rd 3 |
9th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Not the best of these over hurdles, but was already on top when left well clear on September's chasing debut at Sligo (2m1f, good to yielding); form of that hasn't worked out too well but she enjoyed sitting just off a strong pace there, and no surprise were this also run to suit; player. |

7th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Returned to form with an easy win under Peter Summers when back over fences at Leicester (2m, soft) last month; that was a first chase victory at the 11th attempt and she beat only two rivals, but it's hard to knock that performance otherwise and a 4lb rise isn't harsh. |

10th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Soundly beaten over hurdles last month and evidently not as good as she was but began this season with two very respectable chase runs (one in a Listed race) and is sure to appreciate today's ease in grade; versatile regarding ground; must be considered. |
7/2 |

4th 1 |
6th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to hurdles for a dominant 10l success at Chepstow in January (soft) off only a 3lb lower mark but lost her way a little afterwards; following wind surgery she seems back in good order judged on recent chase efforts (0-10 compared with 4-16 hurdling) and has plenty in her favour back in this discipline; should give it a good go from the front. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Veteran who had poor completion record in points last season and was easily brushed aside after making the running on rules return at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in November; revival needed. |

Multiple hurdle winner at up to 2m3f; acts on a sound surface; 0-11 over fences; below par on her recent reappearance but not ruled out each-way if she comes on for that. |

9th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
No surprise if sent off hard having made all over more than a mile further in August, and effectiveness on soft was proven during her pointing and bumper days; more exposed than most here as a chaser, however, having been held off a low-120s official mark in handicaps most recently. |

Pulled up on her final two outings last season and suffered the same fate on reappearance in October; potentially well handicapped but she's hard to trust at the minute. |

Needed the outing and/or was unsuited by the heavy ground in Listed event at Bangor on chase/seasonal debut; defied a 4lb higher mark in Grade 3 juvenile handicap hurdle here two seasons back; one to consider. |

9th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
2m1f Listed and Grade 3 winner in 4yo mares' company in the first half of 2021, but progress flatlined thereafter; a less obvious candidate for a chasing career than many here based on pedigree, but top yard knows exactly what it runs in this race (record of 2211 since its inception). |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Sole success from nine chase starts came in a match but there was nothing wrong with her effort when going down narrowly in a 2m4f chase at Ludlow three weeks ago (good) and that was a useful race for the grade; respected. |

Sole success from eight chase starts came in a match; tailed off at Cheltenham last month (2m, good) and was behind Royale Margaux; this is probably a better trip for her and for that reason she's not ruled out. |
