14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Opened chasing account at second attempt, with Listed success at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February, and was creditable second in Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) later that month; still has potential over fences; respected on handicap return. |

2nd 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Added to point, bumper and hurdles wins when battling on gamely in mares' Listed chase at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) 16 days ago; that was a career best and she may not have reached her ceiling just yet; faces a sterner assignment against male rivals but impossible to discount. |
6/1 |

1st 3 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point/bumper/hurdles winner who is looking for the full set; ran well in novice handicap at Kempton (2m4f) on Boxing Day when making chase/seasonal debut; upped in class but is an interesting contender, being open to further improvement. |

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 1 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
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. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner who was runner-up in a bumper and a maiden hurdle in 2024; however, she's struggled to get competitive since switching to handicaps and is now 0-12 under rules. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Another underwhelming run over fences last time but was only a length behind an improver over hurdles at Newton Abbot two runs back (2m1f, good) and that effort brings her into this. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Regressed in three chase attempts during a brief spell with Dan Skelton; ran encouragingly at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 1l second) last time on stable debut and switch back to hurdles; fighting chance off same mark, provided she's as effective returned to fences. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
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. |
6/1 |

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. |

Struggled in heavy-ground Newbury bumper last month, after a break, but created pretty good impression when winning good-ground Uttoxeter bumper by 12l last June and should have a future over jumps. |
