21st Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Looked useful in bumpers and was a promising novice hurdler last season, albeit during a rather mixed campaign; stopped quickly and was pulled up when switched to fences for last month's handicap debut but it would be foolish to write off her chasing career after that. |

11th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won Stratford maiden (2m, good to soft) in April and has form claims on other efforts last season; out of sorts in a hood of late but well treated now and a revival is on the cards back at 2m with headgear left off. |

10th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Favourite when winning a maiden for mares at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in April; both her handicap runs since were respectable, wearing first-time hood on latest; there's more to be proved with this step back up in trip but she makes more appeal than the big majority of these. |

30th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

Finished remote on bumper debut here last spring but made a much better impression when not beaten far in third of ten on Lingfield hurdle debut last month (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, retained); more to prove back on heavy ground but has better claims than most. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course winner in 2024 but she failed to take to fences last season and came in last of seven back in this sphere at Newton Abbot (2m) last month; others are much preferred. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Close third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good) in October but she's not taken to fences this winter and has been pulled up in last two starts; bit to prove but she's on a dangerous mark back in this sphere and could be a big factor if she can revive; blinkers worn in last two starts are removed. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner; cut little ice over hurdles but there were positives to take from chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft) where she made up some ground from off the pace; still needs more and Lunar Ocean was ahead of her last time. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Lightly raced 8yo who may improve for this combination of switch to chasing and return to Ffos Las; sole course start resulted in bumper win in 2022 (peak form). |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who returned from a very long absence to make her handicap and stable debut at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and ran well for a long way before fading into seventh of 12; could take a step forward now back down in trip and she's one to be interested in. |

1m4f turf and 2m hurdle winner; same mark as when second in a small-field 2m event at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; returns to this code after defeat over hurdles latest but she has the form to be very competitive back down in trip. |

11st 7lb |
Has shown hurdling ability but finished well down the field when fitted with cheekpieces for last month's handicap debut and refused to race on her latest appearance 11 days ago (no headgear); others look much less risky. |

11st 2lb |
Won over 3m1f as a chaser earlier in the season but was a well-held third of five on her return to hurdling over C&D a month ago (soft no excuse); others preferred with cheekpieces now given a go. |

17th Feb 2026 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Has been chasing and won around Hereford in November (3m1f, good; won on soft), despite jumping out to her left; repeated the dose when only fourth there last month; returns to hurdling off a useful mark (without taking into account Murray Dodd's claim) and she's won twice in this discipline. |

Low-mileage 6yo who has taken well to fences in recent months and kept on well to beat Eightytwo Team in small-field contest at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last month; 3m2f on a left-handed track also suits; respected. |

Promise in two bumpers; out the back on hurdling debut at Lingfield after absence (caught the eye of stewards) but has shaped as though this stiffer stamina test could suit; still early days for this well-bred mare and it wouldn't be a surprise if she left her latest form behind. |
