23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
4-10 over fences and better than ever this season with front-running wins at Taunton (2m7f; good to soft/good); this track will suit her style but a collective 17lb rise for those wins could see her vulnerable. |

1st 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced this term but she looked better than ever last time when gaining a second C&D success, cosily making all; hiked up 10lb but she's a big player. |

1st 7 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Front-running winner of this race last year, but she's had only three runs since and was tailed off at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month; needs to bounce back after that but she's feasibly treated if she can get back near best; has won on good and heavy ground. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Creditable second in small field on penultimate start; successful over C&D (off 2lb lower) last July but wasn't in the same form returned to this scenario (behind two of today's rivals) in latest outing. |
14/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four Flat wins to his name, including over C&D, and he was second of four at Lingfield 18 days ago (1m6f, good); should run his race but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Came good with two good-ground hurdle wins this spring (2m3f/2m); slightly disappointing when only third of six at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last week but may yet have a bit more to offer. |

17th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Confidence never higher following wins in two tactical affairs of late, beating Granny B about 7l over C&D latest (good); 8lb higher in a better race, but plenty in his favour again otherwise. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Minor honours in his last four AW races (1m5f/2m) but well beaten in his only two turf starts this term and absent since June; he has won twice but is not straightforward and does not look the percentage call; yard runs four. |
12/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Strong traveller who's far from easy and has hung both ways (normally to the left); arrives in good form for a yard among the winners, though, and is on a mark off which he can win when things fall right. |
7/1 |

2 (2) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hurdle winner who got off the mark on the Flat over C&D in December; couple of creditable thirds here since then but he flopped at Ascot (last of eight) last month and needs to bounce back after that 13l defeat; stablemate of Donald Llewellyn. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
On a long losing sequence but returned to some form when back from a break and finishing a 12l third of five over C&D 12 days ago, ridden by Rian Corcoran; respected off 4lb lower. |
9/1 |

3rd 5 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Without a win since 2023 and was out of form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; this year's Flat form has been fairly respectable but he's on the downgrade and makes only limited appeal back in this sphere. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |
