10st 8lb |
Well handicapped on some of last year's placed form over fences and ran well to a point over hurdles last month (first-time blinkers) but it's over two years since her only win and others appeal more. |

9st 5lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; had few chances on the Flat but her recent handicap debut saw her finish eighth of ten when a 50-1 shot; has new combination of accessories today but others appeal more for win purposes. |

Runner-up twice in a row last August/September and she's well treated on that form; however, four lesser performances have followed and she's now 0-16; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

10st 5lb |
0-14 over hurdles but belied 28-1 odds when third to Dynamic Kate and Rubys Reward from out of the weights over C&D (good) last month; effectively 1lb lower today; obvious each-way claims if in similar form again. |

Third off lowly marks on consecutive starts in May (2m7f/3m) but well beaten when tried in a visor six weeks ago and now 0-13 over hurdles; usual blinkers back on today; 9lb out of the weights. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Prolific in 2022-23 but just one win in her last 29 starts, gained over this C&D but off 5lb lower; mostly consistent without threatening this year, and minor honours likeliest at best. |
16/1 |
|

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent. |
9/2 |

5th 5 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Last win came off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen in June last year (2m4f, good); not at her best last time but has a chance on her previous run when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft). |

Modest fourth in small field at Ludlow last month, taking record to 0-8; however, may fare better off this reduced mark back down in grade; not ruled out. |

Placed in eight of her 17 career starts but still awaiting a win; fair third in two maiden races last month and should be on the premises again. |

Fair on the Flat (albeit a maiden), and placed in two run-of-the-mill maiden hurdles this summer (2m2f/2m); not obviously well treated for today's handicap hurdle debut but has scope for improvement; respected. |

Placed in modest mares' novice races at Ffos Las (2m4f/2m, good) earlier this year but was tailed off when 20-1 for handicap debut there (2m4f, good) in June; tongue-tie removed after one use; has to improve. |

10st 2lb |
0-16 under rules (including eight chase runs) but came second over hurdles here (2m5f, good) in April and also ran very well in eventful C&D chase won by Ryder's Rock in May; 5lb wrong today but not out of this if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

Twice placed over fences (0-7) and twice runner-up over hurdles this year; latest run wasn't her best (also over hurdles) but she goes on all ground and the form is there to feature. |
