17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Headstrong front-runner who gained two of her five hurdling wins over C&D and is well suited by good ground; absent since her very respectable third in Listed grade at Wetherby (2m, good) in November but has won when fresh before and has a big role to play here if fully tuned up. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
2nd Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Headstrong front-runner who won a handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in June and was a good second in a handicap at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in September; however, she was only sixth of eight in a Listed race at Kempton (2m, good) a fortnight ago and looks vulnerable once more. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Resurgent for new yard this summer and it was in a higher grade when an 8l fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good); likely to continue the good work and have a say. |
6/1 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Became disappointing for Paul Nicholls last year but she's been resurgent for new yard this summer, with a win at Southwell (2m, good) followed by a good second at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); remains feasibly treated on her best form and she's respected. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Became disappointing for Paul Nicholls last year but held on from a strong finisher for narrow win off reduced mark on last month's stable debut at Southwell (2m, good); still well handicapped after a 4lb rise and can cope if the ground softens here; good chance. |

2nd Dec 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won in more than two years and needs to bounce back from a quiet run over hurdles three weeks ago; is a deal lower in the weights than for a couple of runs over C&D last winter but may be on the downgrade and wants a good test over this trip. |
20/1 |
|
4th 2 |
11th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Consistent over hurdles and on the Flat this year; holds no secrets from the handicapper but last month's Wincanton fourth (2m5f, good) was perfectly respectable and she'll be fine over today's shorter trip; probably won't be far away. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ludlow (2m) in December and in good form until finishing last of ten in 2m4f Sandown handicap four weeks ago; the sort who might bounce back though. |
11/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Gained all six hurdle wins at around 2m but ran quite well when fourth at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month; current mark is workable (even from 1lb out of the weights) and Sean Bowen takes over today; could have a say. |
16/1 |

4th 5 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m; record is 6-21, the most recent win at Ludlow in December; placed twice since, including at Newbury when ahead of Rula Bula; gives the impression this return to further is worth exploring. |

11st 10lb |
Won by 10l last week at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in a race she also won the previous season, when beating Masked Dance on similar terms to today's; clear claims. |
9/4 |

1st 3 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
7-27 over hurdles, including a good-ground C&D win; not firing on all cylinders since last autumn but wasn't beaten far when fifth of seven in refitted cheekpieces at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month and continues to slip down the weights. |

7-23 over hurdles, including a good-ground C&D win; beaten favourite in plating company two starts and pulled up in a subsequent handicap, but has slipped to a very good mark and can't be ruled out. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Very closely matched with Masked Dance on their two Ludlow encounters in February, over 2m5f (soft) and 3m (good to soft); she's fine after a break and should have a part to play. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently when fending off Masked Dance over 2m5f (soft) three weeks ago; unraced beyond that trip but remains well handicapped on older form; will be a tough nut to crack if her stamina holds out. |
3/1 |

1st 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m course winner in 2023 (both times on soft); returned from long absence with quite encouraging run over that trip here (good to soft) two months ago and has slipped to a good mark but her stamina for 2m5f must be taken on trust. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Has won three times here, including over C&D; may have needed the run after a break when seventh of nine finishers over C&D (good) nine days ago; not out of this. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Back down the weights when reviving to win at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; back up 3lb today but strung together some solid efforts once she hit form last year, so another bold show looks likely. |

Chase and dual hurdle winner on slow ground in France in 2022; well beaten in Grade 2 juvenile hurdle on British debut in January 2023 and not seen again since; could be considered only if lively in the betting here; usual hood removed. |
