15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Ready winner at this track (2m5f, good) four weeks ago, coming from last to first and taking chase record to 4-9; likely to be as effective back up to 3m; progressive mare who is one for the shortlist. |

18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 8y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Useful mare who has shown career-best form this term, winning Listed event at Carlisle (2m4f) then third in C&D handicap; could go well but likely needs to find some further improvement to defy current mark. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won twice over fences, both over 2m4f; fair third in a mares' handicap at Ludlow last time (2m4f, soft); could go well but perhaps better at shorter. |
9/4 |

3rd 6 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
10yo whose losing sequence is up to 13 after disappointing run at Windsor (2m4f, soft) latest; however, she was runner-up on final two outings in 2025 (2m4f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and might not be far away if back on song. |

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. |

3rd 1 |
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. |

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. |
12/1 |

8th 2 |
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. |

9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Failed to offer much in two chase runs last season and again struggled back over hurdles; steadied the ship when back over fences at Haydock (3m1f, soft) but not many completed and her jumping became iffy in the closing stages; others preferred. |

30th Dec 2024 Heavy 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Failed to shine on her two chase starts last season and pulled up on reappearance over hurdles; however, this lightly raced 8yo looked good when winning a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m6f, heavy) last December and she may be the latest Venetia Williams runner to excel on testing ground at Haydock. |

A winner over hurdles (novice) but has failed to complete in her last five appearances, the last twice over fences; getting away from soft ground could be a bonus. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |

Has won over hurdles; failed to complete in last four races but was in touch when falling four out at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; chase debut) most recently; could go well granted a clear round. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won off this mark at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last April and has run well over this C&D; however, she's struggled to get competitive this season and first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt a revival. |
