29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-10 over hurdles, including wins under Freddie Keighley at Fontwell (2m1f) and Taunton (2m3f, good) on two of his last three outings; respected even though he's never raced over this far (he worked his way to the front late on for that 2m3f win) and has been raised another 5lb. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat stayer who won his first three starts over hurdles (2m-2m1f) last summer but he's been held back in this sphere in last three runs; mark is falling and he is still unexposed over hurdles but needs to raise his game back in trip; all of his hurdle wins have been on good but he seems versatile ground-wise. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Just the one blip in five runs since joining Henry Oliver and ran his usual honest race when going down narrowly at Hereford in January (2m, soft; effective on drier); the winner of that race has failed to frank the form but this 7yo could still be in the thick of it here. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice for the Newland/Insole stable in the autumn of 2024; creditable efforts in three of his four runs for current yard including when a close second in Market Rasen handicap (2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; up 3lb but he went down fighting last time and that was behind a major improver; respected. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |

Fair Flat racer who displayed improvement over hurdles when third under positive ride in recent Worcester maiden (2m, good); sports refitted cheekpieces for this handicap debut and could still have more to offer. |

21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won comfortably under Ned Fox at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and also ran well when fourth there (2m4f, soft) later that month; below that level on latest outing (2m5f), though, and current mark demands a career-best effort. |
6/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Unraced on fast ground and best form was her second on soft ground at Exeter in January (2m5f); however, ran okay after a break at Chepstow (2m, good) and returns to a better trip here. |
11/2 |

5th 10 |
10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came good with wide-margin success at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in November and was placed twice on slow ground after the turn of the year (2m5f/2m4f); might find 2m a bit sharp on this first run since February, though. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back to form in handicaps as recent figures would imply; did go up 7lb for the win at Hereford (2m3f, good) and only third next time, but has shown before that this mark is workable; likes to lead and this drop back in trip could work. |
7/2 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Back to form on last three starts (about 2m4f, variety of ground) and latest saw her get off the mark at 15th attempt, doing so by 9l from the front in a six-runner race at Hereford on Monday; carries 7lb penalty in a larger field but should have a huge shout as an in-form candidate against unpersuasive rivals. |

1st 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
14-race maiden but has returned to something near best on last two starts, finishing runner-up on both occasions, tried in a tongue-tie at Windsor (2m4f, good to soft) in November and without it at Plumpton (near 2m5f, soft) in February after a break; workable mark and should go well again. |

Not beaten far when seventh in good-ground course bumper in April but struggled to get competitive when 50-1 for hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) in June; tries a new trip here. |

Displayed improvement and was not beaten far when seventh of 16 in good-ground Ludlow bumper in April, his third start, but needs to make further progress to land a significant blow on today's hurdling debut. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles but kept on for second at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and this 6yo is a possible improver now switched to fences by his top trainer; unproven on slow ground; could be a player. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Standout run is the close third at Warwick in April (2m3f, good); had a break since running too bad to be true next time; has a race in him off this mark, and there's a good chance he'll stay okay. |

Half-sister to fair hurdler Knowwhentoholdem; seemingly in process of making promising Irish point debut before falling at third-last fence in May; market may guide ahead of today's rules debut. |
