24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Landed valuable series final for mares at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in March but was just a respectable third of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) last month and needs subsequent wind surgery to help her kick on again. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

Went up 10lb for winning by 8l at Kelso in March and finished well beaten next time at Uttoxeter; could be on a harsh mark now and would prefer drier ground. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Took form to whole new level when winning valuable series final by 8l at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in March and is now 3-6 over hurdles; returns from 127-day break on 10lb higher mark but good ground also suits; shortlisted. |

10st 12lb |
Came good over hurdles over C&D (good to soft) in April and ran well in defeat off today's mark at Stratford (2m2f, good) on latest outing in July; probably won't be far away. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott (2m, good); off the mark over hurdles in a 2m5f Ludlow novice handicap in April (good to soft) but has been a bit disappointing since. |
8/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

3l ahead of Rockola when obliging at Ludlow in April (2m5f, good to soft); last-time 15l Aintree fourth off 4lb higher represents her best ever form effort going left-handed, but needs more again here. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up in good-ground Irish point last spring; down the field in three bumpers after that but she made an encouraging start over hurdles when third of ten at Hereford (2m, good) last month; was 10l adrift in that race but she kept on well and should benefit from the experience; in the mix. |

Six-race maiden who needs improvement on bare figures; chance depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

Tailed off and pulled up in her two handicaps, both at about 2m4f; there was a whiff of ability going into those but others are far more solid. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up when making chase debut on heavy ground but runner-up twice on good ground since, latterly at Fontwell (2m3f) last month; gets another chance off the same mark here; obvious contender. |
13/8 |

2nd 7 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Had heavy ground as an excuse when pulled up on chase debut in February after nine months off and fared a lot better back on a sounder surface when second of six at Ludlow (2m4f, good) 25 days ago; her jumping was a bit iffy but is entitled to get better with experience; enters calculations. |

2nd 3 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Competitive over hurdles last spring and heavy ground was a feasible excuse when pulled up on chase debut at Leicester in February after 281 days off (had lost position when sprawling at the 11th); can be given another chance. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Hard to predict and has struggled over fences and hurdles in last two runs, but she scored in this sphere at Sedgefield (about 2m, soft) in November; has possibilities if she can recapture that form and she's still unexposed as a chaser. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
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. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
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. |
5/2 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Third in a mares' bumper here (good) on debut last year; unable to improve on that level of form but was third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January; below that level twice since; half-sister to a 3m winner, so this longer trip might see her find some improvement. |

10st 12lb |
Came good at Hereford in the autumn and showed even better form when following up there (also 2m, good) last month, after a break; moves up in grade here but might still be improving; must be considered. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Low-mileage mare who resumed from four months off with a breakthrough success over C&D in November; up 6lb but she had something to spare there so rates a player after another break. |

2nd 5 |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Didn't fire when last in action but was placed in her first two handicaps (2m3f/2m5f, good) and has possibilities if back on song over today's shorter trip. |
