28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won by a neck at Haydock (2m, good to soft) last month under Megan Fox and is 4lb higher today; performed as well as could be expected in the face of a stiff task when third of four in Grade 2 at Cheltenham a week later and has each-way claims on this return to handicap company. |

3rd 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Took advantage of a handy mark in Haydock handicap last Saturday, bringing record over hurdles to 6-20; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class and seems unlikely to match his second-place finish, which was a realistic outcome at the time, in this race last year. |

10st 11lb |
Four wins in 2025 and now only 2lb higher than for the last of those at Chepstow in December (2m7f, good to soft); however, he was a 33-1 chance last month at Uttoxeter and he ran like one. |

Scored four times in 2025 but shot up the weights as a consequence and may be in the assessor's grip now; only just made the frame in the Chepstow race won by Keable most recently. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Registered a hat-trick last February/March and scored over C&D this Christmas to enhance record under his now regular rider Chad Bament; the Lanzarote at Kempton proved too hot for him on latest start (he was running respectably when falling at the last) but he's an each-way contender. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Worcester bumper winner (2m, good to soft) winner a year ago who has finished well behind the winner in three starts over hurdles, but he wasn't disgraced when third of 11 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last time (winner has gone in again since); pedigree suggests he should relish this longer trip on handicap debut and high on the list. |

27th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Won a Worcester bumper last May but has been easy to back both times over hurdles and hasn't shown much at all; disappointing if he can't raise his game at some stage, but best watched for now. |

13th 10 |
27th Jan 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Out of a 2m4f-3m1f hurdle winner; justified favouritism in a Worcester bumper (2m, good to soft) on debut last May but was a weak 12-1 shot for a maiden hurdle there (2m4f, soft) in October and he finished tailed-off eighth of 12; returns from another break and has some questions to answer. |

Narrowly denied in a maiden hurdle at Warwick (2m3f, good) in April only to disappoint in a novice next time when tried in cheekpieces; tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut here and has the ability to cope with this mark; more interesting than most of these. |

Improving with experience and only just denied at Warwick (2m3f, good) on latest start three months ago; repeat of that gives him major claims and he handled soft ground on previous start; cheekpieces go on. |

Off since November but had been out for even longer before his near miss at Chepstow the month before (2m, soft); went off odds-on favourite to defy this mark on chase debut next time (2m2f, good to soft) and was going okay when clouting three out; much respected. |

Beaten 19l when third in a handicap hurdle at Bangor (2m7f, soft; second handicap, in new cheekpieces) but it's been all very lack-lustre since; it's hard to be confident about her chance on chase debut. |

Pulled up on sole bumper run and gone the wrong way across three 1m7f-2m maiden hurdle starts, beaten a long way out here latest; likely one for 2m4f-plus in time, but can't fancy on handicap debut as things stand. |

Three of her four wins have come here on good or good to soft, including over this trip; well treated on her form of late 2024; has been well below that level since over both hurdles and fences; back down in grade for this return to hurdles but there's a bit to prove at present. |
