14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Seemingly back in prime form when beating a subsequent Cheltenham winner at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December but wasn't at same level when weakening third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month, after a break, and needs that recent run to have brought her on. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Running well over fences for her current yard this season and opened chase account in 2m3f Chepstow handicap in December (race has thrown up three subsequent winners); big shout given she has gone well after a break too. |
13/8 |

5th 1 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
0-6 over fences and has made a few jumping errors, but has also shown ability including in both starts for this yard; back down in grade and cheekpieces are given a go, but this sharp 2m may not be a sufficient test for her now. |

2nd 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent 8yo who made it 2-2 here when a narrow winner earlier this month; only raised 3lb and this willing mare should have every chance; has won on good. |
2/1 |

1st 6 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Latest effort, upped to this grade, suggests she remains in form; proving consistent and she is 1-1 at Southwell (scored comfortably in November 2024); respected. |

9th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
No more than minor promise in four runs for Lucinda Russell and took a backward step on her handicap debut a month ago at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; 28-1); wouldn't be the obvious answer to this. |

7th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Blue Bresil mare who has hinted at promise in her three runs thus far, patiently ridden sixth in 2m Newcastle novice hurdle three weeks ago; she's in good hands and no surprise to see her take a big step forward now going handicapping. |

8th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was well beaten over C&D (soft; first-time tongue-tie) on last month's handicap debut. |
33/1 |

7th 9 |
13th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Second to a useful one in soft-ground Fontwell bumper two years ago but, following a long absence, has struggled in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m-2m4f) for new stable this season; makes handicap debut off a lowly mark but yard has more obvious chance with Fiveafterfour; tongue-tie added. |

2nd Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Failed to complete two of her first three hurdling starts and was beaten about 32l when sixth of eight at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in between; remains best watched. |

13th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
She's been a well-beaten sixth on both completed starts and needs to find a sizeable chunk of improvement if she's to threaten today. |
33/1 |

6th 7 |
18th Nov 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Beaten about 23l when sixth of eight on bumper debut at Hexham (soft) last month and fell at first flight when 100-1 for recent hurdling debut there. |
