24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Returns to hurdling after going 0-5 over fences, producing only one effort of real note; nothing wrong with her mark if getting back in this discipline floats her boat. |
5/1 |

6th 7 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
No match for Irish Chorus here in March but she's got a handy pull in the weights with that rival and she lost a shoe when beaten 12l at Stratford; not discounted. |
3/1 |

3rd 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to add to her two hurdling successes (at about 2m4f) in this sphere but she comes here after a very good second of six in 2m Warwick handicap 20 days ago; that form is working out well so she's a big player eased 1lb for yard back among the winners. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Safely held on last month's chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) but that came after a 489-day absence and she's well handicapped on old hurdling form; no surprise if she gets closer to the target today. |
10/1 |

4th 6 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper (AW) and maiden hurdle winner for Alan King but she didn't progress; wore a tongue-tie when fair fifth on debut for this yard in November 2024 and she built on that in added cheekpieces when close second of four at Newcastle (also about 2m4f, good) a fortnight later; makes chase debut after 489 days away with the market likely to offer some clues. |

took keen hold, raced in third, good jump 3 out, challenging 2 out, led narrowly last, ridden run-in, no extra final 110yds, headed towards finish |

A winner over hurdles and off the mark as a chaser at the fourth attempt when breezing clear for a very comfortable win at Lingfield (2m4f, soft), beating Fortunefavorsdbold who runs earlier on the card; hit with an 8lb rise but the cheekpieces were new last time. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to win (0-10); is now rated 6lb lower than when runner-up at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft; for Emma Lavelle) over two years ago; reportedly bled from the nose when fourth of six at Warwick (2m; in an added tongue-tie) seven weeks ago; risks attached. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

She's on a competitive mark on what she showed in 2024 for Emma Lavelle and she was returning from a long absence when tailed off at 80-1 at Haydock three weeks ago; however, it's hard to be confident about her claims. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 5lb |
Fortuitous winner of the 2025 Champion Hurdle (same story in this season's Fighting Fifth); could only manage fifth when attempting to retain her crown (9.75l behind Lossiemouth); posted another solid effort in the Aintree Hurdle last time when fourth (2m4f, good to soft); return to 2m should suit, cheekpieces go on and she was second in this contest last year (good) but may need further luck to increase Grade 1 haul. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Fortuitous winner of the 2025 Champion Hurdle (same story in the Fighting Fifth) and finished only fifth, behind some of today's rivals, when attempting to retain her crown; largely consistent and has won over 2m4f but increasing her Grade 1 tally may require further luck. |
12/1 |

5th 8 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Record of 3-4 at Cheltenham features two Festival wins, beating Brighterdaysahead in the Grade 2 novice hurdle in 2024 then admittedly fortuitous (left in lead when State Man took a late fall; odds-on Constitution Hill exited earlier) when 25-1 in this race last year; also had fortune on her side in this season's Fighting Fifth as the front two in the market, including The New Lion, failed to complete; ran creditably on Boxing Day when last seen; largely consistent and should go well but may require further luck to retain her crown. |

23rd Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Easy Irish point winner; runner-up in a pair of 2m5f hurdles for mares at Ludlow and there's no doubt some improvement lurking now raised in distance for her handicap debut; interesting to see the level of confidence behind her. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 |
20th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Easy Irish point winner who was very respectable sixth in Ascot bumper on rules debut in February and chased home Lilting Verse over C&D (good to soft) when switched to hurdling last month; 7lb better off with her old rival today and still has significant potential. |

Resolute winner of a soft-ground bumper at Fakenham last April; has kept a low profile in two completions over hurdles but she's on a plater's mark and is surely capable of better at this modest level. |

Ability in bumpers and found plenty of improvement from her comeback run to finish a staying-on fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) when just over 4l behind Stuti; gives the impression that she's going to stay further than this; handles soft. |

9yo who is exposed over hurdles but she scored over C&D (soft/good to soft) in two of her last three starts; 3lb higher than for her last win two weeks ago but she remains feasibly treated and should get a decent tow into this race; shortlisted. |

Drew clear to win by over 9l over C&D (soft) in February, opening her hurdling account at the 16th attempt; not sure to be ideally suited by today's forecast quicker ground but her 5lb higher mark ought to be manageable, and she certainly didn't run badly on heavy going at Ffos Las this month. |
