2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Won four-runner mares' chase at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month and is now 4-9 over fences; this race is much more competitive but she could have untapped potential over 3m. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle winner on soft but two chase wins in 2025 were on good to soft, latterly at Cheltenham (about 2m4f) in December, and failures since have come on heavy and soft; needs to jump better than she did at Ludlow in February (over 17l behind Malaita) but she could revive back on good ground. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Made all in Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in January and ran well for a long way when ninth of 23 in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) last month; she's 1lb lower than when a very close third in this last year (good to soft) and could again be involved. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Can make the running; inconsistent but returned to form with mares' Grade 2 win at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in January; runs off same mark as when close third to Cracking Rhapsody in Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft) last April; not ruled out each-way at likely big odds. |

8th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Placed over hurdles for Ben Pauling last year but ultimately became disappointing for him; changed hands after 40l defeat in first-time blinkers in March; goes without headgear on this stable/chase debut. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Better efforts have been on soft ground and if the rain stays away this will be only her second start on a sound surface; each-way player based on her best form but needs to be much better than her last two starts; tongue-tie removed and blinkers now go on. |

11st 7lb |
Big player on her form during the first half of last season but neither run this year was anywhere near that level; reservations for now. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Close third in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice (2m good to soft) in October and again ran commendably well when third in Newbury Listed race (2m, soft) a few weeks later but was tailed off when reappearing in a handicap last month and it's hard to know what to expect from her here. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Absent since late November but was in a good run of form back then, finishing close up in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham before again placed in a Listed race for mares; beaten off lower marks in her previous handicaps but looks a better horse now. |

14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Pulled up on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in March and effectively 5lb higher from further out of the weights here; needs to take a huge step forward but the better ground offers a ray of hope. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Displayed a significant jolt of improvement when winning by over 6l at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in December, her third handicap, and posted another good effort when keeping-on second at Exeter (2m2f, good) last month; has stamina in her pedigree and commands respect on this first attempt at 3m. |
