21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Progressive last year, winning here three times (2m4f/2m5f, soft/heavy), and solid second at Kelso (2m6f, heavy) in December last time; has run well over today's C&D in the past and could play a leading role now back here, provided conditions suit (effective on good to soft; unraced on good). |

Progressive mare who won a C&D novice (heavy) and a mares' handicap (2m5f, soft; cheekpieces first time) here last season; good second in a Kelso handicap (2m4f, soft) on reappearance and although 3lb higher should go well again. |

11st 13lb |
Scored at Haydock (2m5f) in March and largely in good nick since, though she beat only one in 2m4f Worcester handicap hurdle 33 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

First-time visor and enjoyed a soft lead when winning at Haydock (2m5f, good) in March; bumped into one when second last time but that still completed a subsequent run of double-figure defeats. |

She's a 16-race maiden but she ran well when second here (2m4f, good to soft) last month off a career-low mark (behind comfortable winner Lihyan who is due to run in the 1:55); back up 1lb today; might not be far away. |

On dangerous mark but she's still a maiden after 15 starts and has an uninspiring record of 4937677547 in handicaps; others preferred. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |
