22nd Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
She's 2-17 over hurdles as opposed to 7-27 over fences and is unraced in this sphere since November 2023; however, won twice over fences this season (3m1f/2m4f, good/good to soft) and will be a major player if transferring that form back to hurdles. |

Front-runner who went down narrowly last time at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft), which was a good run over that far for one who stays 3m; Harry Atkins rides again and should hang around to have some say. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Runs off a mark 10lb lower than when fifth of 14 in this last year, beaten just over 13l; he's run a couple of reasonable races this season but hasn't shown enough to suggest he's the one to be on today. |

3rd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Led close home to win this race off 5lb higher a year ago (soft ground) and was seemingly perked up by cheekpieces when third on both outings last month; made up considerable ground from the rear at Sandown (1m7f, soft) on latter occasion and has strong claims here if the headgear continues to aid him. |

3rd 9 |
31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Acts on any ground; half-length second off 4lb higher in this contest 12 months ago; out of sorts this term until posting a resurgent effort, behind solid rivals, in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor most recently; enters calculations in the retained headgear. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Always comes with risk, given his jumping often lacks fluency and that he apparently needs to be held up in rear, but he's effectively 7lb lower than when keeping on well for second in valuable Ascot handicap (2m1f, good) in November and will be suited by this return to forecast good ground; blinkered for last two runs; cheekpieces tried today. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
None too consistent and was only fifth in this last year; however, very capable of being competitive on his best form and the first-time blinkers appeared to be working until he clouted two out here a month ago in the race won by Mighty Bandit; could run well. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Successful (off 7lb lower) in this contest two years ago but needs to rebound, having performed poorly in latest start; chance partly depends on how well he reacts to added blinkers. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |
