16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Scored off this mark over fences at Ludlow (3m, good) in October and ran quite well when fourth in 2m5f hurdle there (good to soft) in February, but the addition of cheekpieces did not appear to help much two starts ago and she was again below par (without headgear) last month. |

Has only won over fences in the past year but she's a three-time hurdle winner who didn't run too badly at Ludlow two runs back on her latest run in this discipline. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner (once over C&D); lost her way over fences during the winter but battled well for narrow hurdle win here (3m1f, good; front pair well clear) in March and reverts to this code on a good mark. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three front-running chase wins in 2024, including over about 3m here; second of five at Ludlow in October but her chase form has gone to pot; latest hurdle performance (four starts back) gives her a place chance. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
1-10 over fences, the win gained on last season's reappearance at Ludlow (3m, good; Another Day Out second) in October; not in same form again since but now 2lb below that mark, and might be boosted by new cheekpieces. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't kicked on from her win over 3m here on good ground in October but she's back on that winning mark and she had hurdle form at about this trip. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
2-13 over fences when trained by Henry Daly, the latter win gained at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last month; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 3m but, having recently changed hands for £22,000, still has strong claims on this stable debut. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort of her 2025-26 campaign when neck second, clear of the remainder, at Stratford (2m3f, good) last time; appears capable of going one better, having recorded sole chase success (November 2024) off current mark. |
7/4 |

On a losing sequence and she came in a below-par fourth of eight in 2m4f Ludlow handicap chase last month; needs to take a step forward. |

10st 10lb |
Ran well on both previous visits to Cheltenham, latterly when second of 13 in December (2m4f, good to soft); below that form lately but will be fine over today's trip and Harry Cobden is an interesting booking. |

Bumper/hurdle winner; back to her very best when a near miss at Kelso in May (3m2f, good to soft) and just 1lb higher for this switch to fences; needs considering. |

24th Oct 2024 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Four wins divided between fences and hurdles; did lose her way in this discipline earlier this year but got back on track with a second over hurdles in June; handicapped to have a say. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice on good ground over fences at Huntingdon last year, latterly over 3m1f in November; had wind surgery in January and not so good in her three runs since, particularly on last two, which sees her back over hurdles today for first time since November 2022. |
9/1 |

13th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Jumped well and made all to win very similar race to this over C&D (good) in November; now back down the same mark but has not been in the same form again since, and was particularly disappointing when pulled up at Cheltenham last month; returns here with a point to prove but won't mind what the weather does. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Unseated rider at the start at Chepstow two starts ago but she's run some good races this season, winning at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December and fourth of 15 at Windsor (3m, soft) in January; wears first-time cheekpieces and might not be far away. |
5/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Scored at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December and made the frame in good-quality contests at Cheltenham (3m, good) and Windsor (soft) last month; blotted her copybook when unseating rider at the start at Chepstow recently but still commands respect. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner on good to soft in December and has held her own in Class 2s since then, including a placed effort behind live Stayers' Hurdle contender Ma Shantou; likeable type and should have every chance. |
