6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
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. |

24th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Two wins for Fergal O'Brien last autumn (2m4f/2m, good/good to soft); some fair runs for present yard, notably when third at Hexham in May (2m, good); soft going a concern. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Only fifth of eight on her return to hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) last month, but despite some iffy jumping she was only caught on the run-in; has dropped to a handy mark and could go well; stable also runs Gerard Mentor. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Quirky mare who returned from a layoff with a below-par chase run six weeks ago; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others in this field look less risky. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won three on the trot over 2m/2m1f last summer (good/good to soft); may have needed the race after a break and wind surgery when last of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) last time; better ground should suit as well. |
7/1 |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick when pipping Karannelle in this race a year ago and looked back in good form when close fourth over C&D (good); slightly disappointing later in June on latest outing but seems quite versatile regarding ground and features prominently in calculations; had wind op in July. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
C&D winner who posted a solid third of 15 back over C&D in December; comes here on the back of a recent run on the Flat so can't be dismissed. |
7/1 |

9th 7 (7) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Good third of 15 over hurdles in December, on her second run after a long absence; now switches back to Flat but she's well treated on old form, including a 2m win on Tapeta at Newcastle; one to keep an eye on. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won two soft-ground chases (both 2m3f) in early 2025 and has posted some good efforts in defeat this season; looked laboured and was below form here (2m, soft) last month but can be dangerous off current mark if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times last season on soft/heavy ground; runner-up on first three starts this term then fifth at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago when three places behind Royal Mer; today's forecast slow ground could aid her cause. |
9/4 |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who kept on well to make winning chase debut at Exeter (2m1f, soft) last month; pulled up at Wincanton since, having made made jumping errors at consecutive fences, but still has scope to for further progress in this sphere. |

19th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Did not progress over hurdles after winning fillies' race in 2022 and struggled to get competitive on last month's chasing debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good); difficult to enthuse over. |

11st 6lb |
Lightly raced and generally very disappointing since winning Fakenham juvenile hurdle (2m, good) in October 2022; makes chasing debut after 190-day absence and over new trip; others have much less to prove. |

12th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
There has been a whiff of ability twice, alongside two heavy defeats (including when tongue tied last time); brings no solid claims to this handicap debut but the market may well guide. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Better of her two runs over hurdles when fourth at Market Rasen last time (2m, soft; first run after wind surgery) but has over 7l to make up with the runner-up Tintintin who meets her on the same terms; has a tongue-tie on for first time. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

11yo mare who has not won in over two years and was tailed off at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; others are preferred. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Not lasting out over longer trips this term, so return to 2m makes sense, but it's over five years since she was last able to win outside mares-only company; 6lb out of the weights. |

Has a modicum of ability but was pulled up off her lowly mark in a handicap chase two weeks ago and is now 0-23 under rules; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Has won three times here, including over C&D; may have needed the run after a break when seventh of nine finishers over C&D (good) nine days ago; not out of this. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Has won three times here, including over C&D; below par on her last two starts of last season; yet to win when fresh but has run well after a break; on a competitive mark if she is ready. |
