5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has done her winning at about 2m, latest at Ffos Las in February; soundly beaten on last four starts, with moves back up to about 2m4f/3m for last three; her one piece of 3m form was back in January 2022 but she is back 4lb lower than her last winning mark. |

11st 8lb |
Placed over 3m early in career but has done her winning at about 2m, including twice at Ffos Las; modest fourth over 2m4f here most recently; bit to prove back up further in trip. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ludlow (2m) in December and in good form until finishing last of ten in 2m4f Sandown handicap four weeks ago; the sort who might bounce back though. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Gained all six hurdle wins at around 2m but ran quite well when fourth at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month; current mark is workable (even from 1lb out of the weights) and Sean Bowen takes over today; could have a say. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m; record is 6-21, the most recent win at Ludlow in December; placed twice since, including at Newbury when ahead of Rula Bula; gives the impression this return to further is worth exploring. |

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. |
9/4 |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
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. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f) in May; failed to stay 3m1f when fourth there subsequently but shaped encouragingly reverted to hurdles after seven months off when third in 2m2f Exeter handicap 18 days ago; merits serious consideration back in this sphere. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has switched to fences this term, winning in May but regressing in two summer starts; only 1-18 over hurdles and she has never won away from Newton Abbot. |
12/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Battled on from unlikely position to score by 8l here (2m5f, good) on chasing debut in May, an eventful race in which the clear leader fell two out, but it's wise to treat that piece of form with a degree of caution; only fourth of six at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last time; tries a new trip today. |

1-20 over hurdles and 0-5 as a chaser; refused to race three runs back and tailed off since then on either side of wind surgery. |

Verdict
With no ground concerns and a likeably consistent profile, PASSING KATE appeals as the one most likely to give her running. Tour Ovalie has a bit to prove on ground quite this demanding but she goes on soft and looks the danger. My Mate Polly could have an improved effort in her.[Alistair Jones]
