Mare who was progressive last year and returned to form when seventh of 15 at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last month, beaten just under 3l; she went very close in a 3m point and this first attempt at a staying trip under rules is worth a go; not discounted. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who is 0-9 over fences but she's had tough assignments in Listed events in last two runs; this is more realistic back in a handicap and she's well treated on her best form at up to 3m1f; could be dangerous. |
9/1 |

5th 4 |
14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner; has some place form over fences but she was a well-held fourth of five in a mares' Listed event at Newbury (2m7f, good to soft; 33-1) last month; this looks another tough assignment and she's not run over 2m for a long time; first-time visor replaces blinkers. |

Bumper/hurdles winner; has some place form over fences but finished 10l behind Molto Bene at Huntingdon last time and is worse off with that rival at level weights upped up class; stiff assignment. |

5th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Went close at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December and also ran well when fourth over C&D (soft) in February; current mark is workable but she was very disappointing on good ground last month and would appeal much more on a slower surface. |
4/1 |

10th 8 |
9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not disgraced in two of her last three starts as when fourth of eight at Chepstow (3m, soft) four weeks ago, but this trip on drying ground may be an insufficient test for her now and she looks vulnerable to younger rivals. |

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. |

16th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
No match for the winner on her two runs this autumn (2m4f/2m3f, heavy/soft) but she's kept on nicely to finish placed and is worth another go at this trip; versatile ground-wise; on the shortlist in first-time cheekpieces. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 |
22nd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won two handicaps for Nicky Richards, the latest in September 2022 off 4lb higher; there's a reason for her reduced mark but the signs were more encouraging at Carlisle last month when keeping on for third behind last week's Cheltenham runner-up White Rhino; trip/ground fine. |

11st 5lb |
Yet to match peak form since returning from long absence in the autumn but her third in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in late March was a pretty good effort, and she'll be fine on the forecast good ground here. |
6/4 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In good form in spring of 2024; returned from long absence with two low-key runs in November but, after another break, she ran well to a point when fifth of 13 at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights and she's not ruled out with cheekpieces added. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Not entirely solid on last season's form, although seemed a non-stayer over 3m on final outing; goes well fresh and looks quite interesting off a reduced mark on return from break. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Failed to figure when pulled up at Fakenham on New Year's Day but gave a much better account of herself from the front at Newbury on Sunday (3m, good to firm) until backpedaling from the penultimate flight; this shorter trip could assist assuming those exertions haven't left their mark. |

19th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Form steadily tailed off last season after winning a novice for mares to begin with; reappearance was respectable (on good to firm) but she was pulled up at Fakenham and is looking a tad high in the weights; first run beyond 2m5f. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who returned from long absence with narrow win at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) in December but was never dangerous in her follow-up bid at Windsor (fourth of eighth) last month; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more to defy this mark. |
9/2 |

7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Didn't take to fences on first two starts this season; 2-4 over hurdles last campaign, latterly with a 3m win here on handicap debut, and not discredited on return to hurdling four weeks ago considering that was over only 2m; needs a second look. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 |
9th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Hasn't taken to fences this season but she was 2-4 over hurdles last campaign and she's only 3lb higher than for the handicap success; on the downside, she has something to prove on ground this soft and all her form is at 2m4f+. |

Soft-ground C&D winner just over a year ago and added to her tally at Doncaster (2m, good) last March; not firing on all cylinders this season, though, and needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces today. |

Two hurdle wins at about 2m1f this year (soft and good ground), lifting her level at Doncaster in March; had some relatively quiet runs since but looked on the way back at Newcastle recently, is on winning mark and Harry Cobden up for the first time; yard won this in 2020. |
