Pulled up in an Ayr novice handicap last time (2m4f, heavy) having made a winning chase debut in a handicap over same C&D in December (soft); up in trip (has won a 3m point); plenty to find. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
8yo who made it 5-16 over fences when bouncing back with a clearcut win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; up 6lb but she hit a personal best last time and is a big player again if her stamina holds out on this step up 3m. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
4-15 over fences; gained a win at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, good) in October but hit with a 7lb rise and she's been well held on both outings this year, most recently trailing home last of three at Wincanton (2m, good) three weeks ago; only 2lb lower and now has plenty to prove. |

3rd 2 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
4-14 over fences; October's Chepstow win (2m3f, good) triggered this career-high mark, off which she was found wanting by some way at Kempton, admittedly in a useful handicap; this shorter trip is another slight query. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has mixed record over fences since last autumn but was a respectable fifth in a much stronger race than this when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is another 3lb lower here; seems best suited by good/good to soft ground; big player. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner; very mixed over fences since joining this yard and now returns from a third wind operation; risky. |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Ran okay over fences before returning to hurdles with the cheekpieces back on and going close in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (soft); another big run looks on the cards off just 2lb higher. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Built on November's promising reappearance when a wide-margin winner at Fakenham (2m5f, soft), but has failed to reproduce that level since and was pulled up at Taunton eight days ago; capable off this mark but she isn't the easiest to predict. |
14/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Overall record of 4-35 but her last win was a dominant display at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she's not easy to predict and was last of eight back at Fakenham last month; risks attached. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Not the force of old but exploited favourable mark when beating Jacks Touch by 21l in two-finisher C&D (soft) contest last month, her second C&D success; also suited by much faster ground but has gone back up 7lb. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Triple hurdle winner on ground slower than good for Dan Skelton in 2023-24 season but badly out of form for new stable this year, most recently when pulled up over C&D (good) in March. |

21st Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and three-time hurdle winner when trained by Dan Skelton but has not shown much for new stable this year (three runs), and can't really blame the slow ground; sports refitted cheekpieces today; needs to turn a corner. |
20/1 |
Verdict
In an interesting mares’ chase the suggestion is I AM GONNA BE, who came from a poor position for a creditable second in her seasonal/chase debut at Ayr last month. Aubis Walk, Somespring Special and Presenting Nelly (preferred in that order) all disappointed on their latest hurdling starts but remain good chasing prospects.[Chris Wilson]
