23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Picked up two handicaps in the autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good) but her progress has rather stalled since then and looks on a hard mark. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Kicked off current campaign with two handicap wins in a row in the autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good); her progress has stalled at Doncaster (3m, good/soft) on her last two starts and, while she may still have more to offer when returning to a right-handed track, she's once more going left-handed today. |
12/1 |

6th 7 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
4-9 over hurdles, posting a personal best when getting up late on at Ascot (2m7f, good; handles soft) in November; however, she didn't jump with much fluency when a well-held third over C&D last month and she faces an even stiffer task moving out of handicaps; cheekpieces are fitted. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Shaped well when a debut hurdling second at Hexham in October 2024 but very lightly raced since and has failed to build on it, beating only one on his handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f) in January; this winning pointer could still do better now going chasing though. |
10/1 |

6th 2 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Point winner (3m, heavy) who was runner-up on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in October 2024; underwhelming on both outings since (good to soft/good), most recently her stable debut 67 days ago, but she could be a contender if tapping back into her initial promise on this handicap debut. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Irish point winner; solid second, splitting subsequent scorers, in Hexham maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) six months ago in sole rules attempt; open to progress and respected. |

11st 5lb |
Won twice for Tom Ellis (2m1f/2m) towards end of last year but suffered 28l defeats on both starts for new stable in February/March (2m/2m4f) and returns from six-month break with quite a bit to prove. |
25/1 |

10th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) and a handicap at Market Rasen (2m, soft) when with Tom Ellis; subsequently changed hands for £5,000; well below that form when last of eight at Huntingdon last month on stable debut (2m, good to soft); more needed. |

Ex-Gordon Elliott; Irish point winner in 2021 but yet to win under rules; creditable second in a maiden hurdle at Carlisle in February (2m3f, good to soft) but lesser run over that same C&D back in handicap company last time; others stronger. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
18-race maiden but she was a close fourth on her chase debut over C&D (good) last October when back from a break, then finished second over C&D (soft) in November; there's room for improvement in her jumping and she could have a part to play now back from some more time off. |

Failed to win over hurdles (0-15), albeit going close (third) over 3m2f here in May; shaped okay when fourth (Golden Point 10l behind) on C&D chasing debut 24 days ago; stablemate of Eloi Du Puy and Orkney Blue. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Went close in the second of her two Irish points in April but she had subsequent point/bumper winners behind her that day; half-sister to a fairly useful 2m4f hurdle winner and she needs checking in market on this switch to rules. |

25-1 for a Carlisle bumper (2m1f, soft) in February and she weakened quickly before finishing tailed off; now goes hurdling for a different yard and can only be watched. |

Placed over 2m6f here on first two hurdling starts (both on good ground last summer) but has struggled since; may not have been suited by the soft ground when tailed off here (2m6f) last month but moves up in trip with a lot to prove; tongue-tie added. |
