9th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
4-23 over hurdles, with all her wins on good ground over shorter; the latest (last May) was her only win since 2021 but she was short-headed at Perth (3m on soft) last September and not disgraced two months ago when back from a 12-week break; capable of being thereabouts. |

Creditable second on soft ground at Perth in September (3m) but all her wins have been on good ground; on fair mark now but probably needs the ground to dry out. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |

Continues to hurtle down the weights but latest 13l defeat at Perth was another unconvincing run. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Won four of his first five completed starts over fences (2023/24) but just one success since, a Newton Abbot handicap, and he wasn't finishing his races off last year; 185-day break may have helped but this forecast soft ground raises further doubts. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Defied higher marks twice last term and commenced current campaign with a creditable effort; not in the same form since, hence dropping in weights; needs a revival. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Scored at Haydock (2m5f) in March and largely in good nick since, though she beat only one in 2m4f Worcester handicap hurdle 33 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

First-time visor and enjoyed a soft lead when winning at Haydock (2m5f, good) in March; bumped into one when second last time but that still completed a subsequent run of double-figure defeats. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
It's now 12 runs since his last success in 2023 but he wasn't disgraced when sixth of ten in 2m6f Cartmel handicap in May; no forlorn hope after a break. |

On a losing run but this veteran comes here in decent nick, fading only late over 3m at Musselburgh in March; considered now dropped back in trip off a handy-looking mark. |

Lurks on a very dangerous mark even before Daire McConville's useful 8lb claim is considered but has been out of form this year and needs to turn a corner; visor replaced by cheekpieces; tongue-tie removed. |

Dual AW Flat winner (1m4f); only hurdle win was for Ben Pauling off 11lb higher at Doncaster in March 2023 (2m3f, good); some fair form last term, stable in good form and he's a possible. |

Kept on for fair third at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in January and is now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form hasn't come up to scratch and he's won just one of his 18 hurdle starts; needs something extra. |
