28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Some good performances last year as when beaten a short head off this mark over C&D in November; needs to better her two efforts since returning last month, though. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
0-12 in Flat handicaps but she was placed here in November on two occasions (including C&D); behind Shipshape at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on his first start for 131 days but the returning cheekpieces should be a positive. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

0-11 in Flat handicaps but bang there on three of her last four starts (2m here and Southwell 1m6f); that puts her firmly in the picture but there is a bit to prove after 131 days off. |

11st 7lb |
Overcome significant interference from a loose horse to win for Tim Vaughan at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) just over a year ago but left that stable after a disappointing run last October and was a pulled-up outsider when reappearing for new trainer last week. |
40/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Opened her account at Fontwell (2m5f) last September but came in last of nine at Hereford (2m4f) 11 months ago on her final run for Tim Vaughan; since changed hands for £1,000 and she needs to hit the ground running for her new stable. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Too good for a heavily backed subsequent winner when opening account at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month; not quite in same form when well-held second off same mark a few days later and an 8lb rise has now taken effect but she remains of interest. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hampered early last time, but unlikely judged on this year's struggles for both her former and current handlers that this would have cost her significantly better; cheekpieces hurriedly replace the visor. |
25/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Safely held on both recent starts for new stable (2m2f) and now 0-12 over hurdles; faced fairly tough assignment when third of five from out of the weights last time but still needs a boost from the new visor here. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Left Dan Skelton after some below-par efforts this spring/summer and was tailed off on stable debut at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; 12lb out of the weights and has a lot to prove. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Irish point winner; left Nicky Henderson after one underwhelming bumper run in 2023 and has not shown a great deal in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles for new stable this summer, but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and ought to be suited by the step up in trip; worth a market check. |
25/1 |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Irish bumper winner who was in the same ownership when lasting one race with Nicky Henderson; ran okay on hurdle debut but finished tailed off the last time; best watched for now. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Not in great form when last seen in October but last July's win at Worcester (2m, good) came after 273 days off following wind surgery, and off this very mark; wouldn't rule out. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Returned after wind surgery with a win at Worcester (2m, good) in July but she's not matched that form since and was a remote sixth at Hereford on Monday; now drops back in trip but she needs to bounce back near her best; cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Perhaps a better horse at 2m, for all that her last run over 2m3f was fairly respectable; one or two others appeal more. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Only win under rules came over 3m at Fakenham (good to soft) where she also didn't run too badly in a stronger race a month ago (2m5f, good); jumping can be an issue but she has a competitive show in her at this level. |

19th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |

Placed twice since reverting to fences in November, latterly when keeping on to snatch modest third at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, but might find this race too competitive. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Won on the Flat in Germany in 2019 but is 0-5 over hurdles; certainly didn't run badly when fourth in two Worcester handicaps (2m4f/2m) in early part of this season but has fitness to prove after 202-day absence and the cheekpieces (worn for her last three races) are missing. |

11st 8lb |
18-1 winner of a C&D maiden (good) last August but pulled up on handicap debut (2m4f) next time and was tailed off back on the Flat (first run after wind op) on her return in May; still lightly raced but has some questions to answer and others are more convincing. |

Lightly raced 5yo who scored over hurdles last August and had wind surgery since running poorly in September; has weak claims on Flat form but may improve off her opening mark; heed the market signals. |

Represents in-form yard and hasn't run badly when sixth the last twice but she needs something extra if she's to get off the mark today. |
