Hasn't kicked on from a second on chase debut but did some good late work behind Boys Of Wexford at Taunton the last time; that was over 2m7f and now goes further. |

Second on her chase debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in October but has failed to back up that run since; no improvement following wind surgery last time and has been dropped another 5lb. |

2-6 over hurdles (both wins on good); stays 2m3f; arrives on the back of a career best when second at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; up 1lb; likely player if handling soft ground. |

Listed bumper runner-up who made it 2-5 over hurdles when winning at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in October on her second handicap start; she's in a deeper race here but is just 1lb higher and could have more to offer. |

0-17 but she was a fair third on her first two starts this year (2m5f/2m3f, soft) then went close off this mark when upped to 3m at Taunton (heavy) last Thursday; also effective on good to soft; she could have more to offer over this sort of trip and is one to consider in first-time cheekpieces. |

10st 13lb |
Progressive on good ground last summer and she was back on good ground for latest two starts, winning by a short head under Ben Bromley over C&D on latest; raised 5lb and needs to further her improvement. |

27th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive on good ground last summer and appreciated the return to similar conditions when fourth of 14 in a 2m3f handicap at Taunton in December; hard to call her well handicapped but Ben Bromley's claim will help in that respect. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Pulled up on handicap debut at Hereford four weeks ago when back from a break but the soft ground may not have suited; this lightly raced 5yo was progressive on good ground in May-July and it will be no surprise if she gets back on track with a big performance. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Veteran who has turned things around over fences recently, with a win at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) followed by a second on similar ground at Plumpton (3m1f); now returns to hurdling but she's lightly raced in this sphere and looks interesting off the same mark as last time. |
11/2 |

2nd 6 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Out of sorts initially this season but she wasn't without her supporters when back to form and winning at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago, and the 5lb rise looks manageable in her follow-up bid; leading contender if in the same frame of mind. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Triple point winner but she's 0-12 under rules and hasn't been running well this winter; hard to recommend unless transformed by the cheekpieces. |

Took this prize in 2024 but was having only her second run over fences when beating just one in 3m2f handicap here in May; now returns to hurdling after a short break and has claims if she can bounce back. |

14th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner who was off the mark over hurdles here last July; there wasn't much wrong with her chase debut here (2m5f, soft) in September and she should go on from that following a good comeback against an in-form rival in a Chepstow hurdle (2m7f, good) last month. |

2nd Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't really shone over hurdles for current yard but she's a ten-time Flat winner who won all three of her runs for John Mackie in 2021 (1m2f/1m3f); acts on Tapeta and she should be well handicapped. |
14/1 |

30th Dec 2022 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 1 |

Ten Flat wins but yet to strike over hurdles; well beaten in a handicap here nine days ago; blinkers added to the tongue-strap worn then. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Took a step forward when second in a Huntingdon novice (2m, good) last month on her third hurdle start, and she reportedly lost her action when pulled up on subsequent handicap debut here; has potential off her current mark in view of her useful Flat ability; a tongue-tie goes on; could go well. |

Placed in two mares' maiden hurdles in the autumn (2m/2m3f) but she's finished down the field in three handicaps (2m3f-2m5f) since; still has low mileage but she needs to significantly raise her game. |

Placed off 4lb higher on chasing debut at Leicester (2m6f, good) in early 2023 and won over hurdles in good style last summer; good claims on that evidence but was well beaten on last two hurdling starts, having bled from the nose both times, and comes with risk. |

Made all in Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in January and ran well for a long way when ninth of 23 in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) last month; she's 1lb lower than when a very close third in this last year (good to soft) and could again be involved. |

Can make the running; inconsistent but returned to form with mares' Grade 2 win at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in January; runs off same mark as when close third to Cracking Rhapsody in Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft) last April; not ruled out each-way at likely big odds. |
