10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Maiden who has had a few chances now in handicaps and she was on the retreat when departing two out at Southwell (3m, good), where Shorten Sassy ran third; not wildly appealing at the minute. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

0-9 over hurdles but has finished second or third in handicaps on all four starts this season; this trip/ground fine and she's likely to go well again. |

0-8 over hurdles but placed on all three appearances this season, most recently when second to a well-backed improver at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft) last month; likely contender again here. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Partial revival on chase debut here (3m, good) in April but she did not shine at Cartmel one month later; has plenty of form to make this look an attractive mark but there are doubts on this return to hurdling. |
25/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Back on track to a certain extent when fourth switched to fences at Perth latest (3m, good), shaping as if further still is required; longer trip all to the good and is now 20lb lower than this time last year. |

Won twice over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien last season; has fared less well for new yard and, having been pulled up wearing headgear on last three starts, has plenty to prove on her chase debut (no headgear this time). |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Taunton (3m, good) in April and had 9l to spare when following up at Stratford (3m2f, good to firm); also effective on soft/good to soft; climbing the weights but leading claims nevertheless. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Led close home to score in first-time blinkers at Taunton (3m, good) last month and is now 2-11 over hurdles; not always one to rely upon heavily but remains well handicapped on older form and unexposed as a stayer. |
10/11 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Down the weights but lack of impact in six handicaps (two over this sort of trip) prevents any confidence in her taking advantage; has worn tongue-tie and cheekpieces in recent starts, which are now replaced with blinkers. |

11st 5lb |
Raced twice in bumpers two seasons ago, managing a third on Ascot debut; went off 20-1 for her hurdling introduction after an absence at Fontwell (2m1f, soft) and was beaten 20l; could be considerably sharper here. |

18th Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 2 |

Half-sister to high-class bumper and 2m-4m hurdle/chase winner Rathvinden; kept on to be beaten 4l by Anno Power at Ascot (good to soft) where a steady pace wouldn't have helped; looks a nice prospect and can improve. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three-time chase winner (2m4f-3m1f) on good ground for Dan Skelton in spring 2025; has since lost her way but the signs were more encouraging here last time (2m7f), for all that she was no match for the winner; might be the answer. |

2nd 3 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner (2m4f-3m1f) on good ground for Dan Skelton in spring 2025; generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn, including when back on a sound surface for last two starts, but has become too well handicapped to rule out. |

Won three small-field chases at up to 3m1f for Dan Skelton; bought for £10,000 in July and hasn't recaptured her best form for new yard. |

First foal; dam placed in points, half-sister to six-time jumps winner Soll; ran twice in bumpers in Britain in 2024; won at Dungarvan in January on the second of two starts in points for Terence O'Brien; runner-up Tiffiny's Girl won a maiden hunter chase at Cork and bids to follow up in the 7.08 race. |

17th Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Pulled up in sole point; made the running at slow pace when near-9l seventh of ten on last month's bumper debut at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft); it's questionable what she achieved but it was an encouraging run against rivals who had already shown ability and she's open to improvement. |

Sister to winners Mahlervous (2m-2m7f hurdle/chase), Brooksway Fair (2m5f chase) and Deployed (2m4f hurdle); jumped poorly when pulled up in a point last spring; has joined an excellent stable; worth a market check. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Has to bounce back from a couple of modest runs (latest second was a remote one) but she has since undergone a wind operation; closely matched with Party Vibes and Theonewedreamof on their Cheltenham clash in December; possible. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made a winning start over fences at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and ran well when third of 13 finishers at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; had an off day at Market Rasen last time but worth another chance. |
7/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

0-5 over hurdles but made winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bettered that performance when close third of 15 in Cheltenham mares' race (2m4f, good to soft) last month; moves back up up in trip here and probably still has more to offer over fences. |

Winner over this trip on good ground at Hereford and Plumpton earlier this year; has failed to finish in three of her last four starts but no surprise if she were to bounce back. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won four-runner race on chasing debut at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in April; not a great deal has gone to plan since but she ran well before fading into third over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago and may still have some potential over fences. |
11/2 |
Verdict
Had she been a little wiser to the job in hand then JENA D’OUDAIRIES would have finished closer at Ludlow and that form has worked out nicely. Jakana (second choice) was never dangerous in that race but she too looked as though the experience would bring her on plenty. Another Ludlow graduate, Lady Jago, and promising Plumpton third, Realta Liath, are the other standout contenders. With Briery Butterfly and Hit For Sixty perhaps longer-term prospects, Khutulun Khan might be the newcomer to note in the betting.[Alistair Jones]
