23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Usually consistent, but her modest effort at Goodwood (2m, soft) last time was disappointing given she does handle any ground; needs to bounce back from that. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
10-58 overall for this 9yo, with none of those races at this track; can make the running; won at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and Nottingham (1m6f, good) this May; not far away when third of four at Lingfield 12 days ago in hat-trick bid and has an each-way chance. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Course winner (2m) who bids a for hat-trick after wins at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and on her Nottingham return under Donagh Murphy (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Early summer has always tended to be her time of year but she's regressed in recent times, is into the veteran stage and entitled to need this after seven months off; others hold more pressing claims. |

Hasn't won for a while but some fair efforts this year, last time finishing upside Assured here; possibilities, especially should the ground dry out. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
A three-time chase winner (at up to 3m2f) last season; pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase here in May, so has it to prove on his first run in this sphere since April 2024. |

Won three handicap chases last season (one over C&D on good) and back on his last winning mark; however, he's finished a remote last in his final two chase starts. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Prolific in Jersey on Flat and over hurdles, with her latest win (1m4f, firm) last month; has never won on the Flat in Britain but this season's three visits to Bath suggest she will probably not be far away. |

3rd Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6-17 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in May; very respectable fifth off today's career-high mark in competitive race at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) in July; probably won't be far away. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has very good 6-16 strike-rate over hurdles, the latest win gained at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in May; current mark probably requires a career-best effort but he could plausibly have untapped potential over this trip. |
9/1 |
