2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has won five of her 19 races over hurdles, the latest a four-runner mares' handicap for today's claimer at Newcastle in April (2m7f, good); up 4lb in a tougher race. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |

On a losing sequence but she is holding her form well, third of seven in 3m3f Sedgefield handicap hurdle 23 days ago; a bold showing is on the cards off the same mark. |

Runner-up at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) last month and perhaps the race came too soon when fourth to Dillarchie at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) eight days later; probably okay on good ground; might not be far away. |

0-21 under rules and she's been beaten 18l or more in her four chase runs (2m3f-3m2f); returns from 172 days off and has work to do in this competitive race. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Gained both chase wins at Hereford (3m1f, good) but her best form over fences was arguably her third here (2m4f, good to soft; just behind So Said I) in December; another minor role might be her best hope from just out of the weights today, though. |

Mainly consistent, including winning twice on good ground at Hereford (3m1f) last year; pulled up at Fakenham (2m5f, good) in January but she bounced back from a similar performance early last year; respected. |

10st 5lb |
0-14 but was placed over hurdles and she did go off favourite for chase debut at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) where an early mistake didn't help matters (ended up last of five); better was expected by all accounts and she tries cheekpieces. |

13-race maiden who hasn't threatened over hurdles the last twice; however, she's on a competitive mark on her best form in that sphere and she's only six; one to watch in the betting on her chase debut. |

Consistent mare who got off the mark for the season in a valuable race at Musselburgh last time (3m, good to soft); chance off this 4lb higher mark. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |

Made the frame on last three appearances, most recently when close/clear second to unexposed rival at Musselburgh (3m, soft; first-time tongue-tie) three weeks ago; nudged up only 2b for that; might be the answer. |

Game winner at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) but then well held with no real excuses off this 6lb higher mark at Hexham (race won by Artic Mann); that was a backward step but the cheekpieces had been working well. |

Flat/hurdle winner who made it 0-5 as a chaser when pulled up last time and she's 4lb out of the weights; others preferred. |

Has shown some aptitude for chasing but this Flat/hurdle winner was tailed off here on Boxing Day in the race won by Asa; tongue-tie is added; 1lb out of the weights. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
8lb higher than for last year's convincing win in this race which was staged at Cheltenham; only subsequent win in six races came at the expense of just three rivals at Ludlow in November (3m1f, good); lacklustre in her last three starts and hard to support with any confidence. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
3-8 over fences, including a win in valuable series final at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) last April; lacklustre when pulled up (albeit on soft ground) on last two outings, though, and can't be supported with much confidence here. |
6/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-5 over fences with win here (3m1f, good) in November and good Listed second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) next time; perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December last time; could bounce back with a big run if conditions suit. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
125-1 and never a factor at Aintree last time; won't find it as hard to adopt her preferred position at or near the early speed here, but barely stays 3m (sole win at that trip came at Askham Bryan's very sharp circuit) and has further still to go here. |
4/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Easily won a maiden hunter chase at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last May; didn't run badly at Fakenham (3m, soft) in February but well beaten at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) since and she would be a shock winner. |
100/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |

Won by wide-margin at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last spring and ran big race when second to once-smart rival at Fakenham (3m, soft) last month; it's quite tricky to weigh up what that recent piece of form is worth but, nevertheless, she's respected here. |

Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here. |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won this is 2024 (first-time cheekpieces), followed up over C&D (also heavy) seven weeks later and beaten just a neck on only other start here; has been chasing since without success and finished a long way off Asa at Catterick last week (first-time blinkers) but returning cheekpieces, hurdling and this C&D are all reasons to be positive. |

Stays well and is on a dangerous mark but she ended last season with a heavy defeat at Southwell in April and that took her record to 0-25; others are more convincing. |
