26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
5-11 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and arrives on the back of a wide-margin success in a seller at Hexham (2m, good) 24 days ago; bought for £26,000 and commands major respect on chase debut for his new stable. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Four hurdle wins at trips ranging from 2m-2m4f; was running well in handicaps in the autumn after chancing her arm over fences last September and this is a very winnable race given the favourable terms; strong claims for top yard that's 4-5 here. |

19th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
11-race maiden over hurdles but has made the frame in all four starts at this track; tailed off at Fontwell recently following a four-month break but the return to this track could see her back to her best. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Ran game race from the front when close third of six at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in June but we haven't seen her again since and she's 0-10 over hurdles now; others appeal more. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
0-12; has run the occasional good race in defeat and her debut for this yard when backed into 7-2 favourite at Killarney (2m7f, yielding) wasn't a bad effort; not discounted. |
9/1 |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-16 and has tried fences; kept plodding on when a 10l fourth in 2m4f hurdle at Southwell and she's worth another go over this far. |
5/1 |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Now 0-15 under rules after twice finishing tailed off over fences; was second over hurdles at Leicester in November when 7lb higher so can't be ruled out with a tongue-tie joining cheekpieces, especially with Sean Bowen up top. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course winner in 2024 but she failed to take to fences last season and came in last of seven back in this sphere at Newton Abbot (2m) last month; others are much preferred. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Close third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good) in October but she's not taken to fences this winter and has been pulled up in last two starts; bit to prove but she's on a dangerous mark back in this sphere and could be a big factor if she can revive; blinkers worn in last two starts are removed. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has shown hurdling ability but finished well down the field when fitted with cheekpieces for last month's handicap debut and refused to race on her latest appearance 11 days ago (no headgear); others look much less risky. |
33/1 |

19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper winner in May 2023 (2m, good); fourth of 11 in a Stratford maiden hurdle in April (2m, good); disappointing since, including with cheekpieces tried last time; no headgear; plenty to prove. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-4 on Flat and 0-4 over hurdles, most recently tailed off in Worcester handicap (2m4f); has made the frame over 2m and may benefit from the return to this trip. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Made the frame on first two hurdling starts (both 2m) but disappointed when upped to 2m4f last month and is not obviously well treated for today's handicap debut; others appeal more. |
