17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won well off 4lb lower last summer for a different yard (2m5f, good); disappointing favourite on stable debut at Cartmel (2m5f) and soft ground was no excuse. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when close second to Quick Of The Night at Worcester (2m, good) this month; one to consider. |

2nd 15 |
7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Sole win was in May 2023 but that was a clearcut success over C&D (good); still 3lb higher than for that win but she's had only two runs for current yard and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter last time; should get a good tow into this race and she's in the mix back at this track; tongue-tie reapplied and wears first-time cheekpieces. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Only won the once and that was over two years ago, over 2m on good ground off 3lb lower; one of the favourites for recent stable debut at Ffos Las but was beaten when departing late on; that run was after a break and she could be sharper all round this time. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

13-race maiden who was a fair fourth over fences at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month but improvement is needed to get off the mark in this. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

A maiden after 12 starts but came second in 2m4f chase here last summer (good) and also ran well when upped to 3m at Uttoxeter (good) three weeks ago; makes more appeal than some of these. |

10st 13lb |
No improvement since winning at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in April on third handicap start; kept plugging away last time at Fakenham (2m4f, good) but was only fifth of seven runners. |

4th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |

Four career starts and beaten over 40l in two completions over hurdles; not obviously appealing on handicap debut; now tongue tied. |

10th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four career starts and beaten over 40l in two completions over hurdles; not obviously appealing on handicap debut but shapes as if she has some ability and a tongue-strap might enable her to show more. |

25th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Looked out of sorts when pulled up on last two hurdling starts but won race this race under Sean Bowen a year ago (good ground) and is only 1lb higher today; contender if perked up by headgear switch. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Only 3l away at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but was pulled up over nearly 3m at Uttoxeter; didn't appear to stay but goes again at about 3m with a tongue-tie added; 4lb out of the weights. |

0-20 over timber but has shaped with promise more than once this season; beaten just 2.75l off this mark on penultimate at Punchestown (3m, gd-yld); soft ground may not have suited in a chase at Killarney latest; place chance. |

Well beaten in three novices and on handicap debut but much better when third at Bangor in May (first time in cheekpieces and on good ground, attracted support); more appeal than most on that basis. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
