16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Needs to rebound from a disappointing run in January but returned from long absence with emphatic success at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; remains lightly raced and is a big player if back on song for this first attempt at about 3m under rules. |

7th 4 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Good second in sole start last term (chase debut) and comfortably beat the only other finisher at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) on reappearance, taking overall record to 4-10; has generally progressive RPRs throughout her career and may well continue on the up; major contender. |

23rd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Similar chance to Alfie's Princess on their domination of an Exeter race in November (2m2f, good to soft) and unlikely that she was seen to best effect on heavy when turned over at odds-on at Uttoxeter just before Christmas; rested since and might not be badly handicapped. |

2nd 2 |
22nd Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 6f 45y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Placed on both hurdling starts, more recently when clear second to useful mare at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last month; will be hard to beat here if suited by today's trip-and-ground combination. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
1-10 over fences, the win gained on last season's reappearance at Ludlow (3m, good; Another Day Out second) in October; not in same form again since but now 2lb below that mark, and might be boosted by new cheekpieces. |
11/4 |

3rd 2 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't kicked on from her win over 3m here on good ground in October but she's back on that winning mark and she had hurdle form at about this trip. |

21st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Made very good progress over hurdles then fences last year, with the latest of six wins gained in quite valuable mares' handicap chase at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December; will be dangerous if in similar mood here but suffered a worrying slump in form on her two starts last month and needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Sent chasing this term and twice made all in handicaps at Plumpton (3m2f) before always prominent to take one at Hereford (3m1f); ran poorly in mares' Listed race at Newbury 16 days ago when soft going should not have been a problem; needs to resume improvement and moves into the unknown stamina-wise. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive mare with three wins this season; respectable sixth in stronger company at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last time, 4.5l behind Game Colours; better off at the weights with that rival and a bold bid for a fourth win of the campaign can be expected if she handles these more testing conditions. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2-8 over hurdles; signed off in good form in the spring, making all at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good), but is 5lb higher now and may not enjoy such a favourable tactical scenario this time. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Has a patchy profile but she made it 2-6 over fences when justifying favouritism here (2m4f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a personal best last time and her other chase win came over this C&D; key player. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |

Making stable debut when scoring comfortably over 3m here in January (good to soft) but has to get back on track after three lesser efforts (the latest in a first-time visor). |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Won easily over fences at Ludlow (3m) in January on debut for this yard but nothing since, latterly with cheekpieces back on; now tries a visor; risky enough. |
