13th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a handicap chase over 3m here in April 2025; fair form over fences last season (third over 3m here in April) and could go well on first hurdles run since February 2025; cheekpieces now tried. |

Won this race in first-time blinkers off a pound lower mark 12 months ago (good to soft); hasn't run quite as well in three starts this season and now tried in a visor; a possible. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Better could have been expected at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month but a case can be made on her earlier form, with a win at Perth (3m, good to soft) last April and an encouraging second on her comeback at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) in February; not written off. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Never got into it on stable debut over hurdles at Newcastle last month; however, that was her first outing since March 2024 and she may have needed it; this point, bumper and novice hurdle winner could go well on her first chase start if tapping back into her old ability. |
10/1 |

23rd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Interesting on some of her bumper form as wasn't far behind Larchmont Lass in a Listed race at Sandown; the form of her Carlisle win (2m3f, soft; Drumlee Spud third) carries substance but now has to rebound from a poor run at Doncaster (well behind Baby Shally). |

2nd Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Gamely beat Lunar Discovery at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last month on third run for new stable; worse off with that rival but could well improve further over this longer distance, being a point winner who has some 3m winners in pedigree; shortlisted. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a point bumper in 2023 and came third in two 2m3f hurdle races towards end of that year but returned from long absence with two underwhelming runs last winter and has been off for another seven months since. |

3rd 7 |
26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Point winner; placed in Aintree bumper (close second; form has substance) and Lingfield maiden hurdle (third over 2m3f) under rules; all starts on good to soft ground; holds solid claims judged on record thus far. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 |
30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Half-sister to smart pair Embittered and Precious Cargo; 8l winner of a point bumper (2m, good to soft) in March; narrow defeat when 10-1 for 11-runner bumper at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) last month, travelling well before hanging left, confirmed that she has plenty of ability. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who completed the set in a 2m3f Wetherby handicap chase (good to soft) last winter; not seen since a below-par third over fences at Market Rasen last April; lower mark back hurdling but got to be a chance she'll need this after nearly a year off. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
In the frame five consecutive times since switched to chasing this year, most notably when winning by 18l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in January; should also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; likely contender again. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when keeping-on third over C&D (good to soft) in April but last month's Uttoxeter run was a backward step and she's now 0-9 over hurdles; others preferred. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Went with renewed vim fitted with cheekpieces at Bangor last month (retained here), that additionally representing her best effort yet on good to soft under rules; replication of previous efforts on this even quicker going won't suffice. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Best of four runs came on good ground when third in a Uttoxeter maiden in October 2022; two modest runs (soft) either side of wind surgery since returning from an absence but this is her handicap debut and the yard is going very well. |
8/1 |

3rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Tailed off here (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day on first encounter with slow ground; however, that was her first run after an absence and she's had wind surgery since; promising third on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in October 2022 and she's not written off. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Made debut on Boxing Day and has finished no better than seventh across her three starts; however, she makes her handicap debut off a basement mark and a closer inspection of her pedigree provides some hope she'll be capable of better than she's shown thus far; one to watch in the betting. |
10/1 |

25th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Improved form when 20l seventh of 14 at Newcastle (2m1f, soft) recently on second start but needs another big step forward today. |
