10st 12lb |
Headstrong mare who settled okay in the first-time hood at Ascot last week (2m1f, good) but found nothing significant for pressure once the chips were down; has the form to feature but she's not one to rely on. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Built on November's promising reappearance when a wide-margin winner at Fakenham (2m5f, soft), but has failed to reproduce that level since and was pulled up at Taunton eight days ago; capable off this mark but she isn't the easiest to predict. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Overall record of 4-35 but her last win was a dominant display at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she's not easy to predict and was last of eight back at Fakenham last month; risks attached. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Not the force of old but exploited favourable mark when beating Jacks Touch by 21l in two-finisher C&D (soft) contest last month, her second C&D success; also suited by much faster ground but has gone back up 7lb. |

11st 13lb |
Did well as a novice hurdler in early 2021, winning on heavy; hasn't really got things going over fences following lengthy breaks and her best form is over shorter (has tried 3m); always a chance that cheekpieces might trigger something better. |
12/1 |

Verdict
Uptown Lady has more to prove than her rivals but she will handle conditions and she’s tumbling down the weights. Gazette Bourgeoise went close in the mud on her penultimate start and may prove the biggest threat to the class-dropping WALK IN CLOVER.[Paul Smith]
