16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Needs to rebound from a disappointing run in January but returned from long absence with emphatic success at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; remains lightly raced and is a big player if back on song for this first attempt at about 3m under rules. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Good second in sole start last term (chase debut) and comfortably beat the only other finisher at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) on reappearance, taking overall record to 4-10; has generally progressive RPRs throughout her career and may well continue on the up; major contender. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't been at her best of late (behind Smurfette latest) but she has the form to feature off this mark and won't mind getting back on drier ground; stays this far; possible. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Solid record off current mark comprises a success at Huntingdon in 2024 and second-place finishes in this race last year and at Ffos Las in October; not ruled out. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gave good account when second on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and remains on a workable mark but her latest run was disappointing and she'd arguably appeal more on better ground than is forecast. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Suffered early mishap on penultimate outing but placed on other three starts this season, most recently when clear second to dual subsequent winner at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last month; might not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here but still commands respect. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a mares' novice hurdle and a mares' novice handicap chase for Emma Lavelle back in 2022; creditable third in a mares' handicap hurdle on stable debut in October (2m3f, good) but well beaten over fences last time. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |

Ex-Emma Lavelle; doesn't have the best of win records; creditable run when third in a Bangor mares' handicap hurdle on reappearance (2m3f, good; stable debut); each-way chance on this return to chasing. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful chaser for Emma Lavelle; didn't fire on either outing last autumn, latterly when back over hurdles, and makes stable debut after 338-day absence but has slipped to a dangerous mark and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. |

7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed in valuable series final over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January but rest of last season's form was disappointing and it's hard to predict whether she'll be in the right mood for this return to hurdling; tried blinkers when pulled up last time; usual cheekpieces return. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Arrested her decline when placed in valuable final of this mares' series here (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in January; two lesser efforts have followed and she's unreliable nowadays but she could be too good for this field if perked up by a change of headgear. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Made all in this race on good ground a year ago and returned to some form with third in a valuable series final at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January; however, not so good when back at Fakenham last month and this regressive 10yo has become unreliable. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good over fences at sixth attempt, with 3m success here (heavy) in January, and ran as well as could have been expected when fourth of five in Wincanton Listed race (1m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; still on a good mark; good chance. |

14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point/bumper winner, who made the breakthrough over fences at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) two weeks ago but that was a minor handicap and she has lots to find back at 2m in this Listed race. |
20/1 |

1st 5 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Commenced her career with point/bumper wins; 0-17 since (0-5 in chases) but has a largely consistent record at Ffos Las and looks a solid contender in that respect; on a reduced mark and drops back in grade. |
