24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two AW bumpers at start of last year and made quite encouraging hurdle debut in November (2m4f), but has disappointed in both outings this year (2m3f/2m); makes handicap debut with a bit to prove. |

Dual bumper winner on AW; has not transferred that form to hurdles in two attempts but this drop back to 2m may help. |

7th Nov 2024 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Reportedly better for a break when running away with a C&D handicap for mares here a month ago; that came at a cost now up 10lb and remains to be seen if she can back up that improvement; clearly a contender if she does. |

Won at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in April off 3lb lower mark; shaped well until weakening from the second last at Wincanton (3m, good) last month on step up in trip after five-month break and should strip fitter here; holds place claims. |

In rear throughout when sixth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in April and and fell there 12 days ago; now 0-13 over hurdles; needs the addition of blinkers to give her a good boost here. |

Ex-Irish maiden; easily best of five starts for new yard came in April 2023, four runs back, when fifth of 13 over C&D; 6lb lower today but needs a revival on this second run since her winter break. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran much better than 30l defeat might suggest when fourth under very positive ride here (2m5f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month but she's effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has now been unplaced all eight hurdling starts; cheekpieces refitted. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in four of her first five handicaps (once over 3m) before drawing clear to win easily by 11l at Worcester (2m4f, good) on Thursday; will be of strong interest if she makes a quick reappearance under 7lb penalty here. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
No match for wide-margin winner when second at Southwell last month and now 0-9 over hurdles but ended last season with two good efforts (3m/2m5f) and ought to make her presence felt here. |

14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

0-8 over hurdles but placed twice this spring; ran big race in defeat when close second at Ludlow (2m5f, good) three weeks ago and won't mind if there's rain about here; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

11st 2lb |
Made winning chase debut at Stratford (2m3f, soft) last month, despite not travelling or jumping particularly well, and did not have race run to suit his patient tactics when only fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 19 days ago; will be suited by today's move back up in trip and remains of interest. |

0-8 over hurdles but this point winner started her chase career with a win at Stratford (2m3f, soft) last month; didn't jump or travel with much fluency in that race but she still managed to justify support with her strong finish and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; key player. |

10st 6lb |
Second in a good-ground bumper; clear best of her three handicap runs was her keeping-on fourth at Taunton (3m, soft) in March, in between two appearances at about 2m5f (here latest); needs to build on that Taunton run too and has headgear first time. |
