8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won this race readily by over 9l a year ago (good ground) and was placed over C&D on next two outings; returned from break with two down-the-field runs this summer (cheekpieces added last time) but is back on a good mark now and the return to this track is sure to suit. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Always behind at Market Rasen last month, after a break; she's better than that but all her best form is on sharp right-handed tracks, and she probably doesn't want significant rain; sports new cheekpieces. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Her only win was in a Ludlow mares' handicap in October last year (2m5f, good); fair run at Huntingdon last time (May) but likely to improve for this outing after 100-day break. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful mare who has Listed form but was never going well en route to a modest third at Ascot (2m5f) when back from a layoff last time; will need to travel better in this competitive affair. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive last spring, including 3m/3m2f wins, and good second in Kempton Listed race (2m5f) in November; nearly always races on officially good ground nowadays, so good to soft may excuse a heavy defeat in December when last seen; needs to resume her progress, though, given the career-high mark. |

31st May 2025 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from wind op with small-field 3m win in March and bettered that form when close second on both outings last month (2m4f/2m7f, also on good ground); major player if this new trip suits. |

11st 4lb |
Won this race in good style off today's mark a year ago (good ground) but has lost her way a bit since; didn't run badly off her lower hurdle mark last month but needs to up her game on this return to fences. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner when trained by Dan Sketon, but absent since her fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) for this stable in October 2024 and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

29th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner for Dan Skelton, a yard she left after two quiet runs over fences; pulled up in that discipline on stable debut but showed a bit more spark back over hurdles at Ludlow; nothing wrong with her mark. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple hurdle winner who is 0-5 over fences and has a bit to find with some of these; she also has to rebound from a modest effort at Chepstow and her stamina isn't guaranteed. |
33/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who was beaten under 7l at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) before running well on unfavourable terms in a Listed chase at Wincanton; should have a part to play off a realistic mark. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 |
14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who is 0-4 over fences; ran respectably in a hurdle handicap at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) last month but this is a tough task on the figures and she fell over fences on her penultimate run; passed over. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Big player on her form during the first half of last season but neither run this year was anywhere near that level; reservations for now. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Close third in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice (2m good to soft) in October and again ran commendably well when third in Newbury Listed race (2m, soft) a few weeks later but was tailed off when reappearing in a handicap last month and it's hard to know what to expect from her here. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Absent since late November but was in a good run of form back then, finishing close up in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham before again placed in a Listed race for mares; beaten off lower marks in her previous handicaps but looks a better horse now. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Respectable third at Market Rasen last time but is far from guaranteed to go two places better, being the least productive contender in this field; overall strike-rate is just 1-25 and chase record is 0-6. |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |

With Dan Skelton when gaining her only success and she's again out of the weights here; opposable. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |

With Dan Skelton when gaining her only success and hard to envisage her doubling that tally here from well out of the weights. |
