23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Defied top weight in Class 4 handicap at Market Rasen last time, taking chase record to 3-6; she's 2-2 at Perth but this looks a difficult task; first run beyond 2m5f under rules. |

Point winner and was consistent in victory and defeat during a four-race spell over hurdles with Donald McCain; left that yard cheaply and was tailed off in a handicap hurdle on debut for this one; cheekpieces tried there are dispensed with. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Showed promise in 2022 but was then absent until this January when pulled up in handicap at Leicester (200-1); a tongue-tie now goes on; she may be best watched for now. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
0-6 over hurdles and absent since third in mares' novice at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in December 2022; given a chance by the handicapper in the meantime but it's wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting. |
25/1 |

28th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won twice over fences, both over 2m4f; fair third in a mares' handicap at Ludlow last time (2m4f, soft); could go well but perhaps better at shorter. |
9/4 |

3rd 6 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
10yo whose losing sequence is up to 13 after disappointing run at Windsor (2m4f, soft) latest; however, she was runner-up on final two outings in 2025 (2m4f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and might not be far away if back on song. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won readily in first-time tongue-tie at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June but her form has slumped since; can be excused her most recent defeat (on heavy ground) but still arrives here with a point to prove. |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won a mares' handicap at Southwell in June (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie); reportedly never travelled when tailed off here next time and failed to get involved from out the back at Stratford (2m2f; 28-1) latest; goes back up in trip with a bit to prove now. |

Good third in a Carlisle bumper on debut in December 2021 (trained by Tim Reed) but has fared less well since, including on two runs over hurdles since joining this yard; plenty to prove. |

Mixed results in bumpers last season for Tim Reed, peak effort when third at Carlisle on debut; bred to do well over jumps; heed the market signals on return to action and first run for Rose Dobbin. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
30-race maiden; flattered by her third-place finish at Hamilton (1m3f) in August; work to with Violeta, Carlton and Wheres The Crumpet on recent C&D evidence. |
