8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Below her best this season but has been running over fences and chasing doesn't appear to suit; won two Grade 2 mares' novice hurdles in early 2023 (2m4f/2m1f, good to soft/soft) and second in a mares' Grade 2 last January (3m, good); could bounce back with big run now reverting to hurdles. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Fared respectably on first few starts for Chris Grant in late 2022, including when runner-up to a long odds-on favourite at Hexham (2m, soft; beaten 22l); always behind and pulled up on recent return to action, so probably needs more time to recapture peak form; look elsewhere. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Returned from layoff with two good efforts over fences last autumn but the rest of last season's chasing form was disappointing; now hurdling for first time since 2023; on good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but needs to have refreshed by latest break. |

Returned from break with two good seconds in the autumn (2m/2m1f), but has lost his way a bit since and is unraced on ground quicker than good to soft (withdrawn from a recent engagement with good deemed unsuitable). |

Made all at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in February and didn't run badly on last month's return to action at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft), which he could improve for; however, he has a major stamina question to answer here. |

Placed on consecutive outings after her narrow win at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in November but looked out of sorts on her last two outings and needs to have been refreshed by a 12-week break. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won in good style at Ayr (3m, soft) in January and he's also effective on good to soft ground; however, this 10yo has been pulled up/soundly beaten on his last two starts and needs to get back on track. |

Won this 12 months ago (good to soft) and only his third run in the meantime when well on top again here in early January (soft); 6lb rise elevates him to a career-high mark but he should still have every chance. |

29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won Irish maiden point (3m, soft) last April; heavy defeats in Britain in three novice hurdles and, after wind surgery, beaten 20l when sixth of 15 on handicap debut at Hexham (near 3m, heavy) 13 days ago; he was well behind Pipers Cross in the latter and is 2lb out of the handicap today. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Form of last April's Irish point win (3m, soft) hasn't worked out; three heavy defeats in slow-ground 2m hurdles since, and hopes likely rest as much on the wind surgery as the step back up in trip. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Opened her account at the fifth attempt in Irish points; has poor claims on rules form (2m) but looks a possible improver now handicapping and upped to 2m4f on first run since wind surgery. |

Chase winner at the second attempt when always prominent at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft) in June; well held over hurdles next time and perhaps heavy ground not ideal when still running well back chasing at Cartmel; has a long absence to overcome. |
