27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Two novice wins last season (2m5f/2m4f, soft) and she made it 2-2 here with a narrow win last time (2m5f, good to soft); showed promise over 3m two starts ago and could have more to offer now back up in trip. |

11st 13lb |
Won over C&D (soft) on this card last year on second hurdle start and followed up by 10l in Plumpton novice (2m5f, soft); below form sent handicapping this term but not disgraced on second occasion and she has a chance if back to her best. |

28th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made all over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) last month on first run since wind surgery; fair third at Bangor (2m3f, soft) since; now has her first run over fences but she's a half-sister to very useful chaser Crebilly and has possibilities if taking to this game; hood is left off. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Hooded last four starts; reportedly made a respiratory noise when trying 3m on heavy going on penultimate start; returned from wind surgery with a tongue-tie in novice handicap at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, heavy) ten days ago and finally broke her duck, making all in gritty style; has the same mark today (due to go up 5lb) and is a leading player if in the same form. |

11st 12lb |
Had some hiccups since bumper win, notably when pulled up in both handicaps this winter, over hurdles (2m4f, good) and on chase debut (3m, good to soft); this first 2m run over jumps needs to prompt a big turnaround. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Won a good-ground Fakenham bumper for Milton Harris in 2022 before a long absence; beaten only 10l in a 1m7f Wincanton maiden in April but well held on both starts since switched to handicaps; needs to improve for the big step back up in trip with cheekpieces and a tongue-tie now added. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Won at Lingfield (2m, good) in November on her second stable start and followed up here (1m7f good to soft) in December; flopped in hat-trick bid at Doncaster but she bounced back with big-field second here last month and that was a personal best under Tom Broughton; respected. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won at Lingfield (2m, good) in November on her second stable start and followed up over this C&D (good to soft); flopped at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) latest and hard to be confident on the back of that, but she could be in the shake-up if rediscovering her earlier promise. |

31st Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Half-sister to Sizing Tennessee who won the Ladbrokes Trophy for this yard; hinted at promise when sixth of 18 on sole bumper start in February 2023; well held on hurdling debut 12 months later but was faring slightly better when capsizing at the last at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in March; not discounted back from break. |
