12st 0lb |
Scored on hurdle debut at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) last December and bettered that form when placed in Listed race at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March; pulled up in valuable handicap later that month and absent since but connections are evidently keen to switch this winning Irish pointer to chasing. |

11st 0lb |
Front-running 10yo who has to defy the stats as only two veterans have landed this prize since its inception in 1981; however, has low mileage for her age and remains unbeaten over fences; bagged Listed honours, against her own sex, at Newbury/Exeter the last twice and is a rising force for Polly Gundry; gets the 7lb sex allowance and shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

11st 12lb |
Plumpton bumper winner (soft); beaten in the region of 10l in her two hurdles (2m/2m5f) and this lightly raced mare should progress for her top yard now handicapping. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Second here on Saturday and third on Monday in first-time blinkers, though she was some 22l off the winner; opposable should she run yet again. |
11/2 |

3rd 7 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Started off for this stable with two laboured efforts but runner-up twice this month, more recently in C&D mares' race (good; in cheekpieces) on Saturday; will warrant consideration if she makes a quick reappearance in first-time blinkers. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
2l third in this race (good) last year for Georgina Nicholls when undone by two late mistakes, only to land a C&D Class 2 two days later (good to soft) off the same mark as today's; easily her best effort for new connections at Hereford latest (3m2f, good), and her turn is possibly nearing. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Scored over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in November but she's failed to go on and underwent breathing surgery (also fitted with cheekpieces) before coming in a well-held third of five at Exeter (3m) 20 days ago; reverts to hurdles with plenty to prove. |

3rd 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Well beaten on heavy ground last month (jumped poorly) but has generally done well over fences this season, most notably when winning at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in November; likely contender if last month's wind op and/or first-time cheekpieces aid quick return to form. |

Out of a half-sister to tough stayer Dawson City and bred to do better at some stage but pulled up all four starts, in two points and two novice hurdles. |

Pulled up in two Irish points earlier this year and also struggled (albeit on heavy ground) when 50-1 for recent rules debut here (2m5f); drops back in trip with tongue-tie added. |

Not shown a lot in three hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) but she was third in a bumper on good to soft ground and there could be some improvement lurking now sent into handicaps in a tongue-tie; market informative. |
