16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Now 6lb lower than when holding on gamely to make winning handicap debut at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) in May 2024 but her subsequent form has been very disappointing; needs to turn a corner. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Far from consistent but registered her sole success in first-time visor (off 4lb higher); possibilities if taking similarly well to first-time blinkers. |

Bumper/hurdle winner; back to her very best when a near miss at Kelso in May (3m2f, good to soft) and just 1lb higher for this switch to fences; needs considering. |

18th May 2025 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
C&D winner for Gary Hanmer in summer 2023 and placed for Rebecca Menzies last year; not at best for new stable this spring but wasn't beaten far on either occasion and returns to this track on a tempting mark. |

3-34 overall, with last win in July 2023; third over 3m2f on two of four starts for Rebecca Menzies last May-July and not disgraced 13 days ago for new yard after 265-day absence; others are a bit more persuasive, though. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Last win came off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen in June last year (2m4f, good); not at her best last time but has a chance on her previous run when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft). |
9/1 |
|
10th 4 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Scored at Market Rasen (on good ground) last June and she returned from a seven-month absence with a very good third of nine over C&D 11 days ago; this C&D winner can go very well off an unchanged mark. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
4th 10 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |

Bumper winner who scored on hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) last November; soundly beaten the next twice but this lightly raced 6yo may fare better now up in trip on handicap debut; not ruled out. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course scorer and also a dual 3m winner at Wetherby and Southwell in the spring; lost her chance with a blunder 3 out at Perth (3m) 11 days ago so can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |

10th 5 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hard to knock her last five efforts in handicap hurdles at about 3m and no reason why she won't give another good account of herself; might be a tad high in the weights now. |
13/2 |

4th 1 |
3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Revitalised 9yo who ended last season with two good-ground wins (one over C&D) and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival at Bangor (2m7f, good) last month; obvious contender in current form. |

31st Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |

Point winner who is 0-10 under rules but has largely consistent form; wasn't helped by early mistakes last time; possibilities off current mark provided she avoids errors. |

10th Feb 2025 Good 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

midfield, pecked on landing 2nd, bad mistake and dropped to last 7th, headway before 12th, went third before 2 out, no impression run-in |
