17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Made a successful chase debut off this mark at Uttoxeter two years ago (3m, good) but later in 2023 she left Lucy Wadham for 1,000gns; likely best watched on this belated return to action. |

Runner-up in Huntingdon maiden hurdle (2m4f, good) in February but poor otherwise over hurdles, including three handicaps; didn't look the easiest of rides when visored last time and goes chasing with a good bit to prove. |

23-race maiden under rules, initially on the Flat for Jim Bolger and over hurdles/jumps for this stable for whom he now resumes after two runs in points; he's not on a bad mark if as good as he was and certainly not ruled out. |

26th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 34y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins this season from his first three chase starts (3m, good to soft) and another good run when second at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August last time out; takes on some unexposed rivals and it's likely he'll need further improvement, but his chasing experience is a positive. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Just three runs over hurdles and now 2-3 over fences; didn't have much in hand last time at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft; 5lb lower) but dug deep when it mattered and runner-up Miss Antipova should go well in the opening race. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed off 4lb higher on chasing debut at Leicester (2m6f, good) in early 2023 and won over hurdles in good style last summer; good claims on that evidence but was well beaten on last two hurdling starts, having bled from the nose both times, and comes with risk. |
16/1 |

18th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark (12th attempt) with an emphatic win at Southwell (2m4f, good) last summer but she bled from the nose when tailed off at Worcester in September; has had a break since but she doesn't have a great record fresh. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
High-mileage mare who is not very consistent but has collected two wins this season, the latter at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) 24 days ago; not yet fully exposed over marathon trips; a possible if in the right mood again. |
4/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Managed to see off two other finishers at Warwick (3m1f, good) in May, but she was well beaten at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last time; record of 2-38 under rules makes others look more attractive. |
16/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not always one to rely upon but returned from break with three good efforts in the spring, the most notable a game win at Warwick (3m1f, good) two starts ago; has possibilities if she continues to hold her form. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Running well and was out of the weights when beaten under 5l at Warwick (3m1f, good) most recently; 3lb lower this time and can have a say. |

24th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lost out only by a neck in 15-runner handicap chase here (3m, good) last month and was clear second to progressive rival at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago; evidently in good heart but competes from 5lb out of the weights today and his career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |

2nd 9 |
11th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Chance wasn't obviously nearing before almost making it 30th time lucky at Warwick a fortnight ago (3m, good) from 5lb out of the weights; no good thing to back that up, but does run off his true mark this time. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Both hurdle wins gained here and ran well when third in a C&D chase in May, following a break; pulled up at Uttoxeter since (ground softer than official description); risky after that but this is her course and may well perk up in a visor. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
The second of her two hurdles wins came off this mark last summer at Worcester (2m7f, good), where she also made a respectable return to fences 40 days ago; was beaten 11l so needs more here, but that was her first run for 193 days; respected. |
9/2 |

3rd 10 |
8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dual hurdle winner here (2m7f, good) when fitted with tongue-tie last summer but in poor form when last seen in the autumn, and both her chasing attempts last spring were unconvincing; others have a lot less to prove. |
