1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Third and sixth in the last two renewals of the 2m race on this card, and still appeals more over shorter despite a win over the full 3m trip at Chaddesley Corbett last May; 0-14 over rules fences. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |

0-13 over regulation fences and she needs to improve on her recent seconds in hunter chases at Stratford and here. |

Third in this race in 2024 and she easily won a ladies open at Chaddesley Corbett (3m, good) in May; had wind surgery (her third) before an encouraging second in novice hunter chase at Stratford (2m5f, soft) despite having the door slammed in her face on the home turn ten days ago; should go well again. |

Consistent since switched to hurdles late last year, including wins in a 2m maiden and 2m2f Fontwell handicap; latest third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) was encouraging; chance. |

Reliable sort since switched to hurdles late last year, including wins in a 2m maiden and 2m2f Fontwell handicap; close third there (2m3f, good) on latest start and should be seriously involved again. |

Out of form during light campaign over hurdles last season and struggled on the Flat on Tuesday; arrives here with quite a bit to prove but the drying ground ought to be in his favour. |

13th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 55y |
11st 0lb |
Remains a maiden but has been running well in handicap chases since joining Gordon Elliott, third at Downpatrick and Tramore and sent off favourite when runner-up behind the reopposing Just Jacob last month; 7lb pull in the weights with that rival now. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 |
18th Aug 2024 Good 1m 7f 140y |

Maiden under all codes but two solid efforts in handicap chases, C&D third in April and only lost second late on over 2m4f at Downpatrick; faded tamely (unbalanced) at latter venue since in beginners' contest; return to handicap company to suit and one to consider. |

Three wins over hurdles; won a 2m handicap chase quite well here last August but beaten 17l on either side of her fall at Ludlow (2m4f), where she was in contention four out; might be better for a break and hard to dismiss. |

13th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden hurdles here (2m-2m4f) last year and makes chase/handicap debut after 281-day absence, but his promising point debut in 2021 offers some hope; sports first-time cheekpieces; market may guide. |

Three Flat wins at about 1m4f, albeit at a lowly level; long absences are a feature in his profile and he's not shown enough in his three races over hurdles, beaten 24l into third at Market Rasen in November (penultimate start) on his only completion. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Held off his revised mark since an AW win late last year; not a bad effort back from a break returned to turf at Chester (1m4f; good record first time out in his younger years) last time and this is less competitive. |
8/1 |

8th 15 (10) |

Ended 2025 with emphatic AW win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and came second on both AW starts in January (1m2f/9.4f); absent since lesser effort in February and not ideally drawn today but has two course wins (including a division of this race in 2024) on his CV; could have a say. |
