18th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well on first four starts last season, latterly over an extended 2m7f, and she was back to that peak form when winning in clearcut style at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago under claimer Chad Bament; respected even though she's up 5lb and may well need a career best. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner when trained by Dan Sketon, but absent since her fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) for this stable in October 2024 and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

Dual hurdle winner for Dan Skelton, a yard she left after two quiet runs over fences; pulled up in that discipline on stable debut but showed a bit more spark back over hurdles at Ludlow; nothing wrong with her mark. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has shown fairly useful form in handicaps at Market Rasen (won by 15l) and Wincanton (ran well under big weight) since wearing blinkers; may have more to offer in the retained blinds. |

24th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 9lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles who made it 2-4 over fences with a 15l success in first-time blinkers at Market Rasen (3m, good) eight days ago; Beau Morgan's claim partly offsets the 7lb penalty and she is a major player once again. |

30th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Delivered on earlier promise and created good impression when making all in Wincanton novice (2m5f, good to soft) in February; finished tired and well held in both handicaps this autumn (2m5f/2m3f) but may benefit from today's drop back in trip and remains of interest; hooded for first time. |

10st 2lb |
Finished tired after leading on seasonal/handicap debut at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) but created pretty good impression when making all over that C&D in novice company in February and remains one to be interested in. |

11th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Beat Great Snow by 5l when readily making all in C&D novice (good to soft) in February on third start over hurdles; not seen since but should have more progress to come in handicaps this season and commands respect; had wind op in June. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Added to his point/hurdle wins when scoring by 11l over fences at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December; well-held third at Ludlow two months later but that was behind a handicap blot and she's still unexposed in this sphere; dangerous back from another break. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Campaigned mostly at Wincanton; 2-2 in mares' novice handicap chases, comfortably beating three rivals last time (2m4f, good to soft; off 4lb lower); likely player provided she's as effective at this course. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Just one win from her 11 chase starts and inconsistent this season but she ran okay in the face of a tough task when third of five in Listed race at Newbury (2m7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; capable of having a big say now back in a handicap. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Record of only 1-10 over fences and rather exposed; distant second on penultimate start and never landed a blow in competitive handicap at Cheltenham latest; however, best form suggests she can achieve a top-three finish in this field. |
10/1 |

17th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and prevailed narrowly in a 2m4f mares' handicap chase at Kempton in November (good); hasn't really threatened to go in again since then and cheekpieces are added to the tongue-tie tried last time. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made encouraging seasonal debut over 2m4f in November but has been well beaten over that trip three times since; she's suited by good ground and can outclass this field if back on song but is unraced beyond about 2m5f and arrives with a fair bit to prove. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Dual chase winner in December 2024 and fairly consistent since, but she has struggled back up in class on last two starts, albeit they were some tough assignments; should appreciate this ease in class and she's capable of making her presence felt. |
4/1 |
|
8th 8 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Struggled in similar event at Cheltenham last time, ending a reasonably consistent spell of form; faces another difficult assignment and may need a return to calmer waters; gained her only wins in Class 4 and Class 5 in December 2024. |
