24th Feb 2024 Heavy 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Gained all three wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m-2m6f); safely held in cheekpieces and then a visor on her last two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m); tries a new trip and sports first-time blinkers on this return to chasing; too well handicapped to rule out but needs to turn a corner. |

Losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; has won over hurdles and fences but she needs to get back on track. |

10st 2lb |
2-31 over hurdles (soft/heavy) but the losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; the latest of those came at Hereford just eight days ago and she's out of the weights again. |

Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (about 2m7f) and once over fences (2m4f) in Feburary 2025, all in the mud; beaten at least 20l on all completions this season, she's opposable despite her fall in the weights. |

Winning pointer; lost her way for former yard and never figured on debut for this one in a 2m3f handicap at Chepstow; others safer. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Six-race maiden whose closest finish came when 7l fourth in a mares' handicap at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last November; below that level in both starts since; tongue-tie (fitted for latest start) stays on; better is needed. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted career-best performance when coming from off the pace to score by 6l here (2m6f, soft) in November but returned from break with two lesser efforts last month (2m5f/3m1f) and now has a point to prove; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) back on today. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |

9yo who is lightly raced for her age and won at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in November on second run back from break; not seen to same effect at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) 12 days ago but she's better than that; not ruled out. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced over last couple of years but bounced back to form at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in November, staying on well to win by 6l; subsequent 6lb rise may not be beyond her if the emphasis is on stamina again. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over hurdles on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November and ran well for a long way when fifth on last month's chasing debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers); didn't look to be going that well before falling at Ffos Las recently but still has low mileage and enters calculations; cheekpieces back on today. |

Came good over hurdles on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November and ran well for a long way when fifth on last month's chasing debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers); still has low mileage; shortlisted. |

Returned after wind surgery with a hurdle win at Bangor (2m7f, soft; off 5lb lower) in November but he failed to back that up when tailed off at Ffos Las last month; still lightly raced but has something to prove again on this switch to fences; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

15th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Two chase wins over about 2m6f last winter but she showed something new when easily accounting for her four rivals over about 3m at Chepstow (soft) on reappearance three weeks ago; 9lb higher today and back down in trip but she did it well last time. |

Two chase wins last winter over shorter; hasn't looked the strongest stayer in three runs over 3m under rules and she'll need to be cherry ripe to take this back from 232 days on the sidelines. |

Has lost her way since winning over C&D last March but she's back to a similar mark now and her latest run here on ground softer than ideal was a step back in the right direction; considered. |

Quickly lost her way after finishing first (subsequently demoted to second) on seasonal/chase debut in October and again struggled when reverted to hurdling last month; now only 2lb higher than when winning this race a year ago (good to soft) but it takes a leap of faith to support her. |

Pulled-up when 100-1 for Ffos Las handicap (2m6f, heavy) last month and now 0-20 over hurdles; combination of faster ground and refitted blinkers may enable a better run here but she remains difficult to enthuse over. |

Third of 16 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) on second handicap start but that was nearly two and a half years ago and she's probably best watched back from a such a long absence. |
