23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Third to Greyval 12 months ago off the same mark; hadn't been at her best this season but came good at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) and clearly capable of having some say in the outcome. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Exposed mare who hasn't been quite at her best this season, but is on a good mark (3lb lower than for last win); has an each-way chance. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Rather hit and miss since her last win (2m4f, good to soft) in October 2024 and she was pulled up at Fakenham eight days ago; back on her last winning mark but has a bit to prove at present. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner (once over C&D); lost her way over fences during the winter but battled well for narrow hurdle win here (3m1f, good; front pair well clear) in March and reverts to this code on a good mark. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three front-running chase wins in 2024, including over about 3m here; second of five at Ludlow in October but her chase form has gone to pot; latest hurdle performance (four starts back) gives her a place chance. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Cheekpieces have been installed this season, with a good second at Southwell (2m4f, good) on first occasion but she was not in quite the same form on soft ground on either start since; stamina to prove after one attempt at 3m (last March) and improvement is needed on this chase debut. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Quirky but isn't fully exposed; never landed a blow when sixth (off 2lb higher) in this race last year but should do better with cheekpieces applied this time; absent since unseating rider early when wearing this headgear at Exeter on New Year's Day; shortlisted on return to action. |

1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pushed out to win Newton Abbot maiden (2m5f, soft) last spring, her third hurdle run, but tended to hang and looked rather awkward under pressure in her two handicaps this season; not beaten far in either of those races but needs the first-time cheekpieces to keep her focussed here. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations. |
5/2 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Suffered early mishap on penultimate outing but placed on other three starts this season, most recently when clear second to dual subsequent winner at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last month; might not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here but still commands respect. |
