23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Blinkers are turned to after finishing tailed off a month ago and her previous thirds were no great advertisement for her prospects here; probably wants softer ground as well. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in a quite valuable Hereford mares' chase (3m1f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in December and also ran well when filling same position in Bangor marathon (3m5f, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the quicker ground here but still respected. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Third over 3m1f at Hereford last time (soft; first-time cheekpieces), making the frame in that handicap for the second successive season; consistent but perhaps doesn't win as often as she should (1-15 over fences and runner-up five times); unraced beyond about 3m1f. |

Signed off for Christian Williams with win in three-runner novice hurdle in spring 2023; unseated rider at second fence when reappearing for new stable in recent handicap chase and remains a tricky horse to weigh up, but it won't be a surprise if he plays a significant role here; unraced on ground slower than good to soft. |

10th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Finished lame when beating one other finisher in a 2m5f Fontwell maiden hurdle in May 2023 (good); achieved more when second in his previous race, a 2m7f maiden at Chepstow (good to soft); same owners but in a new yard and interesting chase/handicap debutant despite the long absence. |

Consistent placed form over hurdles in 2022-23 but reached that level only once last season over fences; had wind surgery before and after the latter campaign, left Harry Fry and fell at the first in another chase in December; back hurdling today and he stays when on song, but it's a mixed picture. |

11st 0lb |
Well related; won an Irish maiden point (soft to heavy) last February by 30l, leading when left clear at the last; co-favourite when third of 15 in maiden hurdle here (2m3f, good to soft) at Christmas, 20l behind the first two; others in this have accomplished more but he should improve. |

Ten-race maiden who was an unlucky second, having been badly hampered early on, at Ascot (2m7f; belated handicap debut) most recently; raised 6lb but has clear possibilities granted better fortune. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Seemed to excel himself when second of three from a long way out of the handicap at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month but was grossly flattered by his proximity to idling winner and the form looks somewhat dubious; soundly beaten off correct mark since; others preferred. |

12th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
24lb out of the weights when running surprisingly well at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last week, though only three ran and the chances are the bare form flatters him; this should confirm one way or another, but he's 19lb lower this time so has to be taken seriously. |

Well beaten over 2m3f+ here on debut three months ago (125-1); this is easier but he will need to benefit from that initial effort/longer trip if he is to threaten seriously. |
