7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to match peak form since returning from long absence in the autumn but her third in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in late March was a pretty good effort, and she'll be fine on the forecast good ground here. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In good form in spring of 2024; returned from long absence with two low-key runs in November but, after another break, she ran well to a point when fifth of 13 at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights and she's not ruled out with cheekpieces added. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won two soft-ground chases (both 2m3f) in early 2025 and has posted some good efforts in defeat this season; looked laboured and was below form here (2m, soft) last month but can be dangerous off current mark if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times last season on soft/heavy ground; runner-up on first three starts this term then fifth at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago when three places behind Royal Mer; today's forecast slow ground could aid her cause. |

Three-time hurdle winner who kept on well to make winning chase debut at Exeter (2m1f, soft) last month; pulled up at Wincanton since, having made made jumping errors at consecutive fences, but still has scope to for further progress in this sphere. |

Absent since below-par effort in French event (2m3f) six months ago; made all at Cartmel (3m1f) the time before, opening her British account on sole attempt beyond 2m5f; unexposed at this sort of distance. |

10st 11lb |
2-21 in Ireland, mostly for Henry de Bromhead and with latest win last June (made most); not nearly so good in her three runs for new yard but latest defeat was not as heavy and Irish record suggests that a return to better ground would be very much in her favour; title-challenging stable has made some telling strikes in handicaps this spring and she is one to note. |

10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts for new stable this year and now 0-11 over hurdles; not written off just yet but could be considered only if lively in the betting; tongue-tie (worn for last two races) left off. |
