15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 5lb |
Gained third hurdles victory when landing handicap off 100 at Down Royal in March; good effort off same mark over fences when 3.5l second to Butty O Brien at Wexford 35 days ago; needs improvement back in a beginners', but in good form. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Was gaining her third career hurdles win when returning to form at Down Royal last month, taking advantage of reduced mark and drop in grade over 2m5f (Rajjnatin third); 0-5 chasing, though was going okay when brought down three from home in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap; 3lb lower here so respected. |

Going okay when brought down on her penultimate start in a Fairyhouse handicap chase but didn't build on that back over hurdles here latest; moving back up in trip a plus and down in grade so not fully discounted. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Big improver this season in winning three times, the latest over 2m3f here on good (handles softer); another good run last time in a Listed race at Warwick (2m5f, soft) and her form is right up there in this company; the nagging concern is that she was keen and didn't get home over 3m at Windsor two runs back, although the ground was soft. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Others have a lot more substance to their form but she impressed when winning three mares' novice hurdles in the autumn (2m3f-2m5f, good/good to soft; also effective on soft) and failed to settle when fading over 3m last time; retains potential now back down in trip and none of the form horses arrive with rock-solid credentials; interesting contender. |

Made it 6-7 in points with recent short-priced wins over 3m and 4m, and she's won hunter chases at Taunton and Cheltenham; appeals as the main danger to Golden Son. |

Bang in form when runner-up in this two years ago and later that year finished second in a 3m handicap chase at Ascot for Paul Nicholls; however, signed off for him on a downer and December's point run was none too promising; revival needed in the new cheekpieces. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |

Promising pointer/hunter chaser last term and ran really well when second on handicap chase debut at Ascot (3m, good) in November; hasn't kicked on and was pulled up at Windsor (3m4f, soft) last time, but she could bounce back with a big run now back on better ground and back down in trip. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual bumper winner (first two starts) who had struggled to match that level over hurdles until a close third of nine at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last June off 1lb higher than today; that came after wind surgery and in a first-time tongue-tie (kept since) but she was pulled up at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) when next seen four weeks ago; mixed messages. |

Dual bumper winner (first two starts) who had struggled to match that level over hurdles until a close third of nine at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last June, following wind surgery and fitted with a tongue-tie (retained); that was more like it, but she'll need to back that up returning from a 264-day break and down in trip. |

Held up; 1-9 over hurdles but 5lb lower than when fourth under Murray Dodd at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December, her best form; no match for Indannya or Fresh As A Daisy at Warwick next time, but her latest start (pulled up at Ludlow; tongue tied first time) is the chief worry. |

Just 1-8 over hurdles but kept on well to take fourth from out of the weights in good Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good to soft) in December and also ran well when placed in Warwick novice (2m5f, good to soft) at end of that month; won't be far away if she copes with the slower ground here; tongue-tie added. |

Won a novice here (2m5f, good to soft) in December 2024 but she's been up and down in handicaps since; finished second of five at Newbury (3m, soft) in February but she didn't fire at Chepstow (2m3f) last time; now goes back up in trip and down in grade but this is competitive and others are more persuasive. |

11st 2lb |
Stopped too quickly at Cartmel latest (2m6f, good to soft) for either the 4lb rise for her previous Newton Abbot success (3m2f, good) or the quirky course to seem the issue; step back up in trip is a plus, but questions to answer again; cheekpieces discarded. |

Kept on well for narrow success at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) this month, opening her hurdling account at the eighth attempt; will be fine on the forecast slower ground and further progress is possible if combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces has positive effect. |
