6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner when trained by Dan Sketon, but absent since her fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) for this stable in October 2024 and entitled to benefit from this outing. |
20/1 |

29th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner for Dan Skelton, a yard she left after two quiet runs over fences; pulled up in that discipline on stable debut but showed a bit more spark back over hurdles at Ludlow; nothing wrong with her mark. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing at Perth last week but was placed on consecutive outings beforehand, once over C&D on fast ground; swaps blinkers for refitted visor (worn once on Flat in 2020); no surprise if she's on the premises. |
6/1 |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who is finding her feet after a long absence and she's an assured stayer over this far; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Has three wins over hurdles but not firing on all cylinders since returning from a lengthy layoff in February; steps up in trip but others preferred. |

24th Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
2m1f hurdle winner in France in January; yet to shine for her new stable but she's dropped 19lb in three runs; worth a market check. |
40/1 |

6th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Easily won claiming hurdle on very soft ground in France in January but started off for Alexandra Dunn with two underwhelming novice runs towards end of last season; of interest only if strong in the betting. |

14th Nov 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Poor form over hurdles for Evan Williams and David Pipe; has a hood refitted on first outing for Michael Blake; big improvement will almost certainly be needed. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f) in May; failed to stay 3m1f when fourth there subsequently but shaped encouragingly reverted to hurdles after seven months off when third in 2m2f Exeter handicap 18 days ago; merits serious consideration back in this sphere. |

3rd 8 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has switched to fences this term, winning in May but regressing in two summer starts; only 1-18 over hurdles and she has never won away from Newton Abbot. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Battled on from unlikely position to score by 8l here (2m5f, good) on chasing debut in May, an eventful race in which the clear leader fell two out, but it's wise to treat that piece of form with a degree of caution; only fourth of six at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last time; tries a new trip today. |
