19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Both wins over hurdles when making all, one here on fast ground; ridden with more restraint since returning this year but was in contention before last-fence fall at Bangor (2m4f, good) two starts ago, and last month's Uttoxeter third was respectable; can go well again and it will be interesting to see whether she reverts to more positive tactics. |

3rd 6 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Both wins over hurdles when making all; has been ridden with more restraint since returning this year and was still in contention when falling at the last fence on her return to chasing at Bangor (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; looks sure to be thereabouts as long as her fall has left no ill-effects. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Both wins over hurdles came when making all; yet to convince as a chaser, falling in two of her three starts in this sphere; a clear round would be a priority. |

Runner-up twice in a row last August/September and she's well treated on that form; however, four lesser performances have followed and she's now 0-16; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

10st 12lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat winner last May; yet to score in this sphere but comes here on the back of a good second of eight to Cawthorne Banker in 2m Uttoxeter handicap 30 days ago; enjoys a 4lb weights pull here so very much one to consider. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hampered early last time, but unlikely judged on this year's struggles for both her former and current handlers that this would have cost her significantly better; cheekpieces hurriedly replace the visor. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Safely held on both recent starts for new stable (2m2f) and now 0-12 over hurdles; faced fairly tough assignment when third of five from out of the weights last time but still needs a boost from the new visor here. |

Three-time winner over hurdles but Flat career has been just four races on Tapeta, fading into fourth of eight off this mark when upped to 2m last month for Flat handicap debut (disqualified; jockey failed to weigh in); switches to turf and needs improvement. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Won on the Flat in Germany in 2019 but is 0-5 over hurdles; certainly didn't run badly when fourth in two Worcester handicaps (2m4f/2m) in early part of this season but has fitness to prove after 202-day absence and the cheekpieces (worn for her last three races) are missing. |

Pulled up over fences latest; good start to her Flat career when second in an admittedly weak novice (9.5f) in January and it was her best run when third on handicap debut (also Wolverhampton, 1m4f) having been ridden prominently; new trip could eke out a bit more. |

9st 10lb |
Won over hurdles last year and has twice made the frame on the Flat for new stable this season, perhaps more notably when second to unexposed rival at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in May; encountered traffic there on both subsequent appearances and arrives here on a good mark. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Better known as a chaser now and has not really been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in April; not yet proven over this far and needs to be perked up by this switch back to hurdling; usually avoids ground slower than good. |

Triple hurdle winner who is 0-8 over fences but he's on a dangerous mark and wasn't beaten far when third at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) on penultimate run; has possibilities if he can get back near that level and yard is in good form; wore blinkers last time but regular cheekpieces now return. |

Back from break with three respectable runs this spring, perhaps most notably when third of five at Market Rasen (2m1f, good); now 0-7 over fences, though, and probably needs today's headgear switch (blinkers instead of cheekpieces) to give him a boost. |
