11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner; made Flat debut in April and she's going the right way, second on her handicap debut at Haydock (11.5f) in July before winning at Newmarket six weeks ago (1m4f, good to soft; made all); other pace influences on show but a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond her. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Dual winning hurdler; up with the pace when a rallying second over slightly shorter at Haydock a month ago (good; hood returned); considered. |
4/1 |

5 (5) |
3rd Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed form this April-June across her first three Flat starts, but she's shown promise and this bumper and two-time hurdle winner now goes handicapping in this code off a fair mark; not discounted. |

Runner-up four times for Karl Burke but poor form in three runs for new yard following a 400-day absence; has plenty to prove. |

8th 8 (7) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
11-race maiden; sent off at big odds and well beaten in two runs for new stable after a 400-day absence; down in trip/weights but has a point to prove. |
50/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in three mares' bumpers and a novice at Southwell (1m3f) before being sold out of Karl Burke's yard for 10,000gns in January last year; well beaten on stable debut after 400-day break in 1m3f handicap Southwell last month (tongue-tie tried and retained); plenty to prove. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by new cheekpieces when placed twice at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in the autumn; has claims if judged on those efforts but finished tired on soft ground last month and is now 0-11 over hurdles. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden who is struggling to gain a foothold in handicaps and these aids when worn separately have offered little previously. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Unplaced all six hurdle starts for Micky Hammond last season and tailed off for new stable at Stratford (2m, good to firm; tongue-tie added) last month; needs this much longer trip to show her in a much better light. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Lightly raced since 50-1 win on hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) in May 2024, and she got back on track with close second of six at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last month; could be in the mix if this slower ground isn't an issue. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Caused 50-1 shock on hurdling debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) in May 2024 but safely held all three starts since; last month's handicap debut (2m2f) came after a one-year absence and she might come on for the run but others here have more pressing claims. |

Creditable fourth on bumper debut at Newcastle (AW); hasn't built on that and hard to fancy having been pulled up when a 150-1 shot on hurdles debut at Southwell last time (2m4f, good). |

0-7 over hurdles and hasn't threatened on her first three Flat starts; however, this bumper winner goes up in trip off a lowly opening Flat mark and Hollie Doyle has been booked; no surprise to see a good run. |
