No match for Tap Tap Boom at Plumpton but she was game in victory at Cheltenham (2m4f, good), providing her yard with a welcome winner; back up 6lb but had got herself well handicapped; respected. |

Runner-up over 2m/2m1f at Huntingdon and Plumpton this term, no match for the winner both times; weakened into sixth in this contest 12 months ago and may get outstayed back up in distance. |

11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Enjoyed a revival when fitted with cheekpieces towards end of last year, winning by wide margin at Southwell (2m, good) before creditable seconds at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) and Cheltenham (2m4f, good); major player if returning from two-month break in similar form. |

Improved form with cheekpieces applied the last twice, winning at Southwell then second at Chepstow, both over 2m; worth another go at 2m4f; open to further progress over fences and in the retained headgear. |

11st 11lb |
Three wins over fences in 2021/22, but had been off for 761 days before finishing a well-beaten fourth of five at Taunton (2m7f, soft) last month (below-par Space Voyage finished behind); others make greater appeal. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner; placed off 5lb higher at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in December 2022 but absent since refusing to race in cross-country chase there the following month and tricky to weigh up after her layoff. |
10/1 |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 6f 37y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Bordering on a career best when third in a mares' handicap here in December (2m4f, good) and won at up to 3m2f last season; however, she is prone to mistakes and it's hardly ideal being 9lb out of the handicap on her first taste of cross-country action. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Built on November's promising reappearance when a wide-margin winner at Fakenham (2m5f, soft), but has failed to reproduce that level since and was pulled up at Taunton eight days ago; capable off this mark but she isn't the easiest to predict. |
14/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Overall record of 4-35 but her last win was a dominant display at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she's not easy to predict and was last of eight back at Fakenham last month; risks attached. |
12/1 |

8th 2 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Not the force of old but exploited favourable mark when beating Jacks Touch by 21l in two-finisher C&D (soft) contest last month, her second C&D success; also suited by much faster ground but has gone back up 7lb. |

20th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Usually consistent but didn't cover herself in much glory when a remote fourth at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) latest; sole win over fences (1-14) came on her last attempt at this sort of trip, so that may help. |
9/2 |

3rd Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Only 1-13 over fences but she's consistent and ran creditably behind La Renommee over C&D most recently; has form on all types of going; sole handicap win (over hurdles) came off this mark; solid chance. |

2nd Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |

Came good over fences in quite valuable event at Worcester (2m4f, good) in the autumn; hasn't really kicked on from that success and was no match for clear winner when second at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good to soft) in January but will appreciate this ease in grade and is on a good mark. |

Kept on for very respectable third behind Shirocco's Dream and Do You Think over C&D (good) in November and is now 8lb lower but this regressive 11yo has not been firing on all cylinders for a good while now and was pulled up (albeit on heavy ground) on her latest appearance. |

Not firing on all cylinders this season but has become well handicapped, and seemed to be travelling pretty well in second place before slipping and unseating rider on home turn at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) recently. |

Needed the outing and/or was unsuited by the heavy ground in Listed event at Bangor on chase/seasonal debut; defied a 4lb higher mark in Grade 3 juvenile handicap hurdle here two seasons back; one to consider. |

9th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
2m1f Listed and Grade 3 winner in 4yo mares' company in the first half of 2021, but progress flatlined thereafter; a less obvious candidate for a chasing career than many here based on pedigree, but top yard knows exactly what it runs in this race (record of 2211 since its inception). |

10st 5lb |
Dual course winner, more recently against own sex a year ago (3m2f, good); now only 2lb above that mark but has been out of form this season (four runs) and has more to prove than some of these. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ended last term with a clearcut win in a Cheltenham handicap (3m2f, good) in April but she's been out of sorts this season and was tailed off over 2m4f at Cheltenham last time; has had another wind operation but she needs a major revival after a short break. |

20th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Two wins this season, by a distance at Warwick in November (2m4f, good to soft) and last time when making all for a much narrower verdict at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft); long time since she raced over this short a distance but she's a front-runner who jumps well. |

21st Mar 2023 Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |

3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
10yo who can be inconsistent but she easily made all at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) last November and bounced back from her Cheltenham flop with a fair fourth here (3m, good) in January; could benefit from this drop back in distance and she's one to consider. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Returned to racing under rules with very respectable third over hurdles on stable debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in April but was well beaten at Warwick last month and did not convince as a chaser for Robert Walford during the 2022-23 season (four attempts). |

5th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Very lightly raced in recent years but stayed on from the rear for third when back under rules for last month's stable debut at Hereford (2m3f; tongue-tie/cheekpieces refitted); still very well handicapped on old form; contender if that recent outing brought her on. |
