23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; struggled in first three runs for current yard but she showed signs of a revival when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last Saturday; was no match for the first two in that race but her mark continues to fall and she looks worth another try at this trip; could be dangerous. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; rather disappointing since, including on her three starts for this yard after wind surgery last season (pulled up over fences last time); bit to prove. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Well handicapped on some of her old hurdle form for Alastair Ralph but she looked held when falling in a 2m5f handicap hurdle here on her reappearance in January; down the field at Ludlow since and hard to know what to expect back chasing (well beaten on previous attempt). |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won a four-runner handicap chase for the O'Neills in June (2m4f, good); bought for £10,000 in October; good second to a subsequent useful winner in a point in January (3m, soft) but rather disappointing last time; each-way chance. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Warwick (2m4f, good) in June and bounced back from lesser run when 4l second to Zacony Rebel over this C&D (good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); effective on soft ground earlier in career; could be involved. |
8/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rallied well to open account in small field at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month, his fourth start over fences, but was well below that level on latest outing and needs to respond well to first-time cheekpieces here. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Beaten on first seven chase starts but showed improved form to win comfortably at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February and he bumped into a progressive winner there (2m3f, soft) last month, when clear of the third; there can be optimism that he will be fine back down in trip and he's respected. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Fully deserved his breakthrough chase success over C&D (soft) under Toby McCain-Mitchell last month; the style of his win suggests he will be a major player again off a 7lb higher mark. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course bumper and hurdle winner who won Plumpton handicap hurdle off 18lb higher last April; subsequent starts over fences didn't go well and he resumes chase career having been well held over hurdles on last three starts. |
8/1 |

4th 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
He's had a disappointing season, initially over fences and more recently over hurdles, and has something to prove; however, he's now 10lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last April and can't be written off; monitor the betting. |
7/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |

Chasing did not go well this season (three runs) but he ran well until tiring on heavy ground over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) recently and is now 6lb lower than for an emphatic C&D win on good ground last April. |
