15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Very closely matched with Masked Dance on their two Ludlow encounters in February, over 2m5f (soft) and 3m (good to soft); she's fine after a break and should have a part to play. |

3rd 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently when fending off Masked Dance over 2m5f (soft) three weeks ago; unraced beyond that trip but remains well handicapped on older form; will be a tough nut to crack if her stamina holds out. |

1st 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Dual 2m course winner in 2023 (both times on soft); returned from long absence with quite encouraging run over that trip here (good to soft) two months ago and has slipped to a good mark but her stamina for 2m5f must be taken on trust. |

On a lengthy losing sequence and she has been pulled up in handicap chases at Wincanton (3m1f) and Ludlow (2m4f) either side of Christmas; reverts to hurdles with lots to prove. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |

Regressive mare who was pulled up when returned to fences and tried in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) last month; drops back in trip with tongue-tie added here; 7lb out of the weights. |

11st 11lb |
Dual hurdle winner last season (2m7f/3m) and returned from ten-month break with two good efforts in February, latterly when second to Felicie Du Maquis at Ludlow (3m, soft); will probably be in the shake-up again. |

2nd 2 |
27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Very solid campaign last season, winning twice (2m7f/3m, good to soft/soft), and she was a fair fourth in a tough handicap at Sandown (2m7f, heavy) on this month's belated reappearance; drops back down in grade today and could play a leading role. |

Out of a well-connected dam and has shown promise on both hurdling starts, more recently when fifth of 12 at Ludlow (2m, soft) last month; needs today's longer trip to unlock improvement, though. |

Showed her first piece of worthwhile form for a while when fourth at Huntingdon (near 2m4f, good) last month, albeit beaten 20l; failed to build on that when soundly beaten behind Karakoram 19 days ago; 6lb out of the handicap and difficult to recommend. |
