She's 7lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las in April 2023 for Alastair Ralph but that's her sole win from 17 rules attempts and she's been absent since tailing off at Fakenham last April; makes stable debut. |

4th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted a win then a near-miss over hurdles last April (2m3f/2m6f, good to soft); unable to match that form over fences this season but she was a fair fourth at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in December and has had a wind op since being pulled up last time; no surprise if she goes well now back hurdling. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Finished 3l fourth in similar event at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago, producing her best effort since switched to chasing; looks favourably weighted on best hurdles form and can't be ruled out. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Gained both chase wins at Hereford (3m1f, good) but her best form over fences was arguably her third here (2m4f, good to soft; just behind So Said I) in December; another minor role might be her best hope from just out of the weights today, though. |

Mainly consistent, including winning twice on good ground at Hereford (3m1f) last year; pulled up at Fakenham (2m5f, good) in January but she bounced back from a similar performance early last year; respected. |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Off the mark over hurdles when an all-the-way C&D maiden winner (heavy; 6-4 favourite) penultimate; weak in the betting - still favourite though - when underwhelming on handicap debut at Carlisle subsequently; switching back to Ffos Las, with Ned Fox returning to the saddle, is a sensible move. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Confirmed previous promise when off the mark with a 15l-win in a mares' maiden hurdle at Ffos Las last time (2m4f, heavy); stiffer task on handicap debut but worth considering. |

16th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 185y |

Dual Flat winner in Britain for Peter Bowen, including over 2m at Chester; maiden hurdler last year and makes yard debut here after 14 months absence (encouraging jockey booking). |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Dual Flat winner (1m/2m) for Jedd O'Keeffe; has shown ability over hurdles since switching to Peter Bowen, none more so than when placed over 2m here (mares' novice) in January, but probably needs to raise her game further over this new trip in order to be competitive on handicap debut. |

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. |

A winner over hurdles (novice) but has failed to complete in her last five appearances, the last twice over fences; getting away from soft ground could be a bonus. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Opened her chase account at the seventh attempt when winning over C&D last month, and didn't have to improve to follow up off 4lb higher back here (2m4f, soft) a fortnight later; shoulders a 7lb penalty in her hat-trick bid, but she remains open to further progress back up in distance; strong contender. |

Stuck on well to beat the market leader (pair clear) in similar event at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last time, opening her chase account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but still looks well treated, including on best hurdles form; respected. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |

Scored off 22lb higher over hurdles (2m, soft) in January 2023 but she's not posed a threat since then; still lightly raced in this sphere but she fell on her return to chasing two weeks ago and others are more convincing. |

Makes her chase debut after a break; this lightly raced 6yo showed promise over hurdles and drops back in trip having faded over 3m at Aintree last time; her dam improved for the switch to fences; not ruled out. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Veteran who had poor completion record in points last season and was easily brushed aside after making the running on rules return at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in November; revival needed. |

C&D winner who had been running well in both codes until a well-held fifth in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle 39 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |

5th 10 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-20 under rules but runner-up in two of her last three runs, including over hurdles at Hereford (2m5f, good) in November; sole win was on good to firm ground but she handles soft (more to prove on heavy) and has possibilities back in this sphere. |
10/1 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well supported when scoring at Taunton (3m, good to firm) on penultimate start, her first after wind surgery; went up 5lb for that; couldn't match that effort when dropped back to 2m2f here latest; drops 1lb and the return to further should suit; player. |
