15th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
10lb higher than for last year's win in this race but went in again over C&D in December when much too good for a subsequent winner; latest Ayr third also respectable and returning here has to be a bonus. |

Won a novice handicap over C&D in 2022 (soft); has since won three more races over hurdles, the last two mares' handicaps over 2m2f at Kelso; went up 8lb for latest win (December); others look better treated. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Sole success over hurdles came in January 2024 when trained by Archie Watson; she has offered little in three runs for current yard and it's easy to look elsewhere. |
50/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence and offered little in two runs for her new handler, pulled up in 2m4f handicap at Leicester in January; now tongue tied first time; easy to look elsewhere. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Left Archie Watson after string of disappointing runs last season and dropped out very tamely on last month's stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft); needs to turn a corner. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner last autumn (good/soft); ended last season with some disappointing efforts, though, and looked badly out of sorts on both Flat appearances this spring; leap of faith required to support her today. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 3m hurdles last autumn but has lost her way over jumps this year and was well beaten here (1m4f) when back on the Flat a fortnight ago, after a wind op; this longer trip ought to suit better but it still takes a leap of faith to support her. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on AW in her youth; three hurdle wins since joining this stable, the latest at Perth last October; not so good this spring and a wind op last month needs to turn things around. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Shot up 16lb for her back-to-back wins (2m3f/2m5f) and, although a bad mistake was no help when last to finish at Carlisle, it could be that the handicapper has caught up with her. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Thriving mare who bids to compete a hat-trick after clear wins at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) this year; shooting up the weights but needs to be taken very seriously in current form. |
4/5 |
|
1st 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won by 10l on reappearance here (2m4f, soft) in November and, after not staying 3m at Ayr, she bounced back with an easy, all-the-way win at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 12 days ago; 8lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive 8yo could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

3rd May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Seems well suited by this track but was well beaten on last month's chasing debut at Carlisle (2m5f, good) and is now 0-25 under all codes; 3lb out of the weights today; others preferred. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
2-11 over hurdles; built upon satisfactory seasonal debut when creditable second of 14 at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) a fortnight ago and can cope with today's drop back in trip; obvious contender if in similar form again. |
