15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Very closely matched with Masked Dance on their two Ludlow encounters in February, over 2m5f (soft) and 3m (good to soft); she's fine after a break and should have a part to play. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently when fending off Masked Dance over 2m5f (soft) three weeks ago; unraced beyond that trip but remains well handicapped on older form; will be a tough nut to crack if her stamina holds out. |

1st 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m course winner in 2023 (both times on soft); returned from long absence with quite encouraging run over that trip here (good to soft) two months ago and has slipped to a good mark but her stamina for 2m5f must be taken on trust. |

A fair hurdles winner for Claire Harris in 2023 but this veteran mare offered little over hurdles and fences for Kevin Pickard last season; Flat debutante. |

9th 11 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

On a lengthy losing sequence and she has been pulled up in handicap chases at Wincanton (3m1f) and Ludlow (2m4f) either side of Christmas; reverts to hurdles with lots to prove. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual hurdle winner last season (2m7f/3m) and returned from ten-month break with two good efforts in February, latterly when second to Felicie Du Maquis at Ludlow (3m, soft); will probably be in the shake-up again. |

2nd 2 |
27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Very solid campaign last season, winning twice (2m7f/3m, good to soft/soft), and she was a fair fourth in a tough handicap at Sandown (2m7f, heavy) on this month's belated reappearance; drops back down in grade today and could play a leading role. |

15th May 2023 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Out of a well-connected dam and has shown promise on both hurdling starts, more recently when fifth of 12 at Ludlow (2m, soft) last month; needs today's longer trip to unlock improvement, though. |

10st 2lb |
0-17 under rules and plodded on to grab third at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; sports first-time tongue-tie but lacks the scope of her younger rivals. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Still a maiden after 16 runs but hasn't been with current stable long and wasn't beaten far when fourth of six on chasing debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; may benefit from this drop back in trip and has the services of Sean Bowen; worth a second look. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Signed off for Fergal O'Brien with two wins last autumn (2m4f/2m) but has not made any further progress for current stable, albeit this year's four runs have all been respectable; others have more pressing claims. |

Two wins for Fergal O'Brien last autumn (2m4f/2m, good/good to soft); some fair runs for present yard, notably when third at Hexham in May (2m, good); soft going a concern. |

Showed her first piece of worthwhile form for a while when fourth at Huntingdon (near 2m4f, good) last month, albeit beaten 20l; failed to build on that when soundly beaten behind Karakoram 19 days ago; 6lb out of the handicap and difficult to recommend. |
