11st 10lb |
7-23 overall and she arrives on a roll after wins over hurdles at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in June and on the Flat here (1m5f, good to soft) in September; should make a chaser and could be hard to peg back if getting into a good rhythm. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ran for Sir Mark Prescott in three bumpers and eight Flat races, all without winning; Uttoxeter third (2m) over hurdles latest can't be that convincing given that she was beaten 25l, but it was the best of her three runs for this yard and this is her handicap hurdle debut over a new trip. |

Showed ability in bumpers and on the Flat without winning for Sir Mark Prescott; 9-1 and 33-1 for her two runs over hurdles for current yard and was a distance behind the winner both times. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today. |

Reasonably consistent mare who is a four-time AW scorer; clear second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) most recently; stays 2m; may remain competitive back up just 2lb. |

16th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Had C&D form before missing 2023; not quite back to his previous level but he took a late second to one on the middle leg of a three-timer, at Bath (1m6f) in June, and should be involved again; versatile tactically. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 (9) |
7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Scored on AW in 2021 and 2022; missed last year but he's not been beaten far in two runs on Polytrack (1m4f/2m) this spring after a long absence; still lightly raced on turf and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip. |

9st 9lb |
All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip. |

Six-time winner at up to 2m in Britain but yet to hit any sort of form for current yard; career-low mark and tongue-tie tried so don't rule out. |

Donegal yard likes to pick up horses with back-form, often from Britain, and try to rejuvenate them; six-time winner at up to 2m but hasn't been finishing out his races in Ireland and been off a while. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |

Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

C&D winner in 2022; had little racing for this yard since and although not beaten far over hurdles in February he was well beaten over an inadequate 1m2f on the Flat (turf) and back hurdling in May; others preferred. |

His Flat four-timer in 2017 culminated in a success over C&D; won four times over hurdles in 2021/22, but his efforts under both codes since the start of last year, including three outings for this yard, don't suggest the veteran will be winning this. |
