11st 0lb |
The second of her recent Uttoxeter wins (2m7f, good; good to soft) was harder work but the runner-up was in form and they came clear; looks a big player off 5lb higher. |

10th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Kept on from unlikely position to take 80-1 second here (2m3f, good) last month, his fourth start over hurdles; posed no threat to the clear winner and the value of the form is open to question but, nevertheless, there's a chance he can snatch another minor prize today. |

2nd 5 |
21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed promise in his second bumper in December 2020 but, after more than two years off, he's struggled at big prices in three hurdle runs (2m/2m5f) this year; easy to look elsewhere. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten over hurdes here on last month's stable debut but kept on well for clear second behind Of Corse I Can over C&D (good) when back over fences three weeks ago and will be suited by the forecast slower ground today; respected. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over C&D in April 2023 and a chase here in April 2024; however, he's struggled this season following a long absence, including at this course on three occasions; 4lb out of the handicap; major turnaround needed. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Returned from a long layoff with some disappointing efforts this season but took a step back in the right direction over hurdles at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January, where he put in a good front-running shift before tiring; now 1lb lower than when winning comfortably by 13l over C&D (good) in April 2024 and enters calculations; cheekpieces (worn for last two races) removed. |

0-19 and it's hard to make her the percentage call but she was placed on good ground here (2m5f) and at Taunton (3m) in two of her five starts this autumn/winter; right out of form on last two outings. |

0-8 under rules, but was returning from over a year off when second of nine on stable debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good) last month; the longer trip looks to be in his favour and a contender if taking a step forward. |

Modest maiden hurdler; unseated rider at first fence on chasing debut in September and was tailed off when fourth at Huntingdon (2m7f) last month; needs this sharp drop back in trip to show him in a much better light; 1lb wrong. |
