23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple hurdle winner who is 0-5 over fences and has a bit to find with some of these; she also has to rebound from a modest effort at Chepstow and her stamina isn't guaranteed. |
33/1 |
|
8th 6 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who was beaten under 7l at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) before running well on unfavourable terms in a Listed chase at Wincanton; should have a part to play off a realistic mark. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who is 0-4 over fences; ran respectably in a hurdle handicap at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) last month but this is a tough task on the figures and she fell over fences on her penultimate run; passed over. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1-22; has dropped markedly in the weights over the past six months (form figures P5UP03); trainer seems to have his string in better form now, and she did rally from a tough position when modest third at Kelso (3m; good, 22-1) latest; no forlorn hope. |
9/1 |

3rd 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner who finished third on her final two outings last season and is well treated on that form; however, she's struggled to get competitive on her seven starts this term and has plenty to prove. |
14/1 |

10th 14 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Record of 0-11 since winning on chase debut and looks far from solid on her form this season; well out of the handicap. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Consistent since her sole win (2m5f) and was a close third at Perth (2m4f) most recently; shapes as if she'll be suited by this new trip; solid. |

3rd 2 |
14th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Ayr (2m5f, good) last March and went close over this C&D (soft) last April; returned from absence with fair fourth over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago and could build on that run; interesting. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted. |
7/1 |

7th 7 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 3 |

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November last time, but she'd enjoyed a predominantly consistent spell previously and maybe a break will have helped; has won here twice over fences; not ruled out on her return. |

10st 9lb |
Last effort of note was when winning on heavy ground at Hexham (2m4f) just over a year ago; perhaps went off too fast there last time (especially over 2m7f; good to soft) but current wellbeing looks an issue. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won a 2m4f handicap here last April but things have fallen apart in just three runs since (form figures of U0P); showed signs of being in season when pulled up at Newcastle last month but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and both wins have been in the mud; down the list. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

On a long losing sequence but she arrives in good nick, ridden aggressively when fifth in 2m Warwick handicap in March; she can make her presence felt after a break. |

5th 1 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Her losing sequence goes back 15 races to January 2024 but she's been running consistently well this season; versatile ground-wise and can be thereabouts once more. |

2nd 4 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
3-18 over hurdles; continues to run consistently well and has reached the frame on all three starts this season, but she probably needs to find that little bit more to add to her score. |

Still 4lb higher than when winning over 2m6f here (good to soft) last summer but did not run badly when seventh in competitive series final at Musselburgh last month and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; major player if stamina holds out (unraced beyond 2m7f). |

Came good for Sandy Thomson at third attempt, with comfortable win at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in February, and put a lesser run behind her when close at fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) last month; this move back up in trip will suit; may yet have a bigger run in her. |

Scored at Haydock (2m5f) in March and largely in good nick since, though she beat only one in 2m4f Worcester handicap hurdle 33 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |

First-time visor and enjoyed a soft lead when winning at Haydock (2m5f, good) in March; bumped into one when second last time but that still completed a subsequent run of double-figure defeats. |
