27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
May still have more to offer for Dan Skelton but is by no means certain to follow up a fortuitous win at Fakenham (2m4f) where she was gifted the race when the clear leader exited; now 1lb higher in a stronger event. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful on the Flat in 2024 and made winning handicap hurdle debut for Lucy Wadham at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) last February before finishing second in a Listed race; safely held on seasonal/stable debut at Kempton just after Christmas but will probably come good for Dan Skelton soon. |

3rd Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-race maiden who's performing consistently but the exception came as 2yo on her only start on heavy going; her sixth when favourite trying 1m6f and cheekpieces (both for the first time) on latest outing was not her best form and today she sports blinkers. |
9/1 |

6th 7 (11) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 but performing consistently, the exception on heavy going as a 2yo (her only run on softer than good); needs a little extra for the breakthrough win but this longer trip looks worth a go; she also now tries headgear. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (8) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fair form in three handicaps this season, most notably when third at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) on first occasion; not really favoured by the weights in this maiden but still considered each-way. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Very well-bred gelding who has shown clear promise with his placed efforts in a Doncaster novice (1m4f) and a Lingfield maiden (11.6f, both on good) this summer; looks on a fair mark now switched to a handicap and this unexposed 3yo should have more to offer; interesting contender. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |

Very well-bred gelding who bettered rather underwhelming debut when second of ten at Doncaster (1m4f, good) five weeks ago; that form already makes him a leading contender here and he probably still has potential. |

17th Sep 2024 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Well-connected filly, by Galileo out of a two-time Listed winner at 1m4f and 1m3f; well held in two AW runs but she looked promising when fourth at Lingfield (1m3f, good; close behind a subsequent winner) on sole turf run, in August; capable of better now handicapping. |

Out of a Listed middle-distance winner but struggled on last month's Kempton debut (1m3f, AW) and needs to take a big step forward here. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Creditable second in small field on penultimate start; successful over C&D (off 2lb lower) last July but wasn't in the same form returned to this scenario (behind two of today's rivals) in latest outing. |
14/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four Flat wins to his name, including over C&D, and he was second of four at Lingfield 18 days ago (1m6f, good); should run his race but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Still a maiden and isn't particularly solid on his form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; first-time blinkers need to make a difference. |

5th 8 |
23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
15-race maiden under rules but didn't shape without promise when sixth of 11 finishers on hurdling debut at Stratford (2m, good) 17 days ago; needs to improve but holds place claims. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
14-race maiden who showed some useful form as a 2yo and 3yo in Ireland but has become disappointing; has the stamina for hurdling but still makes only limited appeal on debut over jumps. |

Has a good pedigree but showed her inexperience when well-beaten 50-1 shot in 1m2f Newbury novice last month and is probably one for a bit further down the line. |

Placed in AW bumper in January but cut little ice in three subsequent maiden hurdles; had wind op in June and is fitted with cheekpieces for this Flat debut; watching brief advised. |
