4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made quite promising start to chase career in spring but now reverts to hurdling after lesser effort last month; all recent form is over 3m but she can cope with today's drop back in trip and her current mark is workable. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who was a 10l second on chase debut at Bangor (3m, good) in April and produced another fair run when third behind two improving rivals there (3m, good) last time; might not be far away. |

10th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who ended last season with good second on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good; first-time cheekpieces); encounters slower ground here but her Irish point win in 2023 was gained on yielding to soft, and she probably still has potential; respected. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Irish point winner whose hurdles form is not devoid of promise; open to progress now handicapping in first-time headgear; Joe Anderson takes off useful 5lb; one to consider. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but she struggled last year and was beaten 20l at Sedgefield when last seen in November; now 4lb lower than for her last success but she needs a major revival after a break. |
14/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Only 1lb higher than when winning at Ludlow (3m, good) last November but has very unconvincing record since returning from a break in April; lost jockey when attempting to refuse at first flight on penultimate appearance and was soundly beaten when fourth last time; others are much less risky. |
16/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from a break with two below-par hurdle runs in the spring; lost her jockey after a bad mistake over fences in July and repeated the feat when slamming the brakes on back over hurdles at Stratford 18 days ago; might be developing ideas and she can only be watched after that. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Scored over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in November but she's failed to go on and underwent breathing surgery (also fitted with cheekpieces) before coming in a well-held third of five at Exeter (3m) 20 days ago; reverts to hurdles with plenty to prove. |

3rd 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Well beaten on heavy ground last month (jumped poorly) but has generally done well over fences this season, most notably when winning at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in November; likely contender if last month's wind op and/or first-time cheekpieces aid quick return to form. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Just 1-16 over hurdles when trained by Evan Williams and was unable to justify odds-on favouritism when only sixth of 12 here (2m5f, good) on last month's stable debut; may yet come good for Harry Derham, though, and this move back up in trip will suit; wears refitted tongue-tie; gained her win on good to firm but has form on good to soft; 3lb wrong. |
6/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
3m hurdle winner last April in first-time cheekpieces, that her only win in 16 attempts, though often placed; given wind surgery after finishing a distant third at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) in October on final start for Evan Williams; back in trip following a break and worth considering for stable going well. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Gave good account when third of 16 at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July and didn't run badly over C&D last month, but her only win from 15 hurdling starts came in a three-runner race; others appeal more. |

10st 11lb |
2-13 over fences, latest off 1lb higher in June 2024 under Sean Bowen; form has been mixed since but she ran well for a long way at Chepstow on return from nearly four months off; on a fair mark if building on that. |

Point bumper winner in 2023 but has shown only modest form over hurdles/fences under rules, although latest C&D run was more encouraging; more needed again from out of the weights. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Out of form in points this spring and well beaten in 2m4f chase here when back under rules in June; effectively only 4lb lower today; very difficult to enthuse over. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all nine hurdling starts and was pulled up (albeit on heavy ground) on chasing debut; back under rules after three very uninspiring points runs this spring and 8lb out of the weights; can't be recommended. |
