23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but she struggled last year and was beaten 20l at Sedgefield when last seen in November; now 4lb lower than for her last success but she needs a major revival after a break. |
14/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Only 1lb higher than when winning at Ludlow (3m, good) last November but has very unconvincing record since returning from a break in April; lost jockey when attempting to refuse at first flight on penultimate appearance and was soundly beaten when fourth last time; others are much less risky. |
16/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from a break with two below-par hurdle runs in the spring; lost her jockey after a bad mistake over fences in July and repeated the feat when slamming the brakes on back over hurdles at Stratford 18 days ago; might be developing ideas and she can only be watched after that. |

1st Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Pulled up in consecutive chases in the autumn and again when reappearing over hurdles last month; now 0-19 under all codes and has a lot to prove but still worth a glance in the betting; cheekpieces refitted. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Placed in 3-11 hurdle starts on good or good to soft, all at around 2m4f; handy mark but hasn't looked as effective over this trip. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Gradually returned to form last term after a year out, staying on for a place when falling late at Southwell and just stretched by the 2m5f trip at Ludlow latest; one of two runners for owners and may place. |

12th Apr 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden who has only bits of encouraging form; however, this combination of drop back in trip and first-time headgear may prompt improvement; represents notable connections and can't be written off. |

10th Oct 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back in prime form this season, winning three in a row under Tom Broughton at Southwell (3m, good); latest 5lb rise ought to be manageable and she makes very obvious appeal. |
9/4 |
|
1st 3 |
7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a record of 4-12 over hurdles and she's won under Tom Broughton over C&D (good) in her last two starts; has another 4lb rise to deal with after a short break but she's respected in her hat-trick bid. |

Ran well in defeat behind a progressive mare at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in May but her form has dipped in the meantime and she's now 0-13 over hurdles. |

Fell heavily mid-race on latest outing and now 0-11 over hurdles but was second to a big improver at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) two starts ago and is a contender if judged on that performance. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close in 16-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July, her second run since returning to racing under rules; below that form when well-held fourth over C&D since but has cheekpieces refitted today; can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Made low-key return to racing under rules in June but last month's close second of 16 behind Cinderello in refitted cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was a good effort; goes without cheekpieces here but still features prominently in calculations. |
7/2 |

2nd 10 |
16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Runner-up in four consecutive points this year; made low-key rules return/stable debut three weeks ago (2m4f) but will be suited by today's move back up in trip, and the refitted cheekpieces may also aid her cause. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Offered too little on Exeter handicap debut 13 months ago and unseen since; half-brother Fat Sam has enjoyed a productive last two summers for Chris Down on today's sort of trip/ground, and that way hope lies. |

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. |

30th Nov 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Not much to show for her career to date but attracted support when tailed off at Wincanton two months ago; wind surgery since and bred to appreciate this longer trip; lot to prove but worth noting on handicap debut for yard which excels at this venue. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Not unsupported (12-1 into 17-2) when completing the course for the first time in three runs latest, albeit beaten 60l; opposable, for all her initial mark looks in line with last winter's peak efforts. |

5th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

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. |
