4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2m maiden hurdle winner last year but she struggled badly last season and was recently pulled up in cheekpieces; too much to prove at present. |
14/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won 2m maiden hurdle here (good) last April but both handicap runs over that trip this year have been very disappointing; getting back on good ground ought to aid her cause, but she failed to convince stamina-wise when tried over 2m5f last spring and has even further to go today; cheekpieces added. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
C&D maiden winner last April (good) but campaign ended abruptly after needing treatment for post-race ataxia next time; soft ground and absence offer some excuses for tame return, but still a bit to take on trust. |

Five-race maiden; has struggled since making a positive debut at Windsor (1m2f) last summer; dropped out tamely at Lingfield (1m2f; 28-1) 16 days ago; falling in the weights and blinkers are enlisted. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Seen a good deal more often on AW but won the latest of her four turf races, over 11.6f on good ground at Lingfield in June, and that was up with her best form; close second on good to soft last year; looks vulnerable off this mark but 5lb claimer Jack Callan is enlisted. |
14/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Acts well on Tapeta, winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and ran to a similar level over that trip here before Christmas; has had some good results since but C&D run in July wasn't one of them; must revive. |
10/1 |

11th 1 (3) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has clocked up a very solid record in handicaps, with last month's win in a small field on turf but seen mostly on AW, including here; unlikely to be far away. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Wide-margin winner of 1m4f Ripon novice last autumn; well held in handicaps so far but the signs were slightly better over C&D (soft) latest and the easing of the ground, and perhaps fitting cheekpieces, can help. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win in nine runs came in a 1m4f novice on soft ground; yet to find her stride this year but she's not ruled out from a falling mark. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Fairly useful form when placed four times over 1m2f on the Flat for Andrew Balding last year; raced too freely on her first two stable/hurdle starts, easily brushed aside by short-odds winner when remote second at Stratford (2m, good) this month, but there is still hope she might transfer more of her Flat ability to this code. |

8th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Often placed but failed to win (0-8) on the Flat for Andrew Balding; took a keen hold and weakened when last of five on stable/hurdles debut at Newbury (2m, good; 12-1) seven weeks ago; may need time to acclimatise to the demands of this discipline; safer to look elsewhere. |

Galileo filly who looked green and beat only one rival in eight-runner contest at Kempton (1m4f) last month; may improve with the experience under her belt; major connections also run Eagle Angel. |

Verdict
With another step forward likely, Lingfield runner-up SEA JOURNEY is taken to go one better. Kitty Furnival, back at the scene of her peak effort, is second choice. Lady La Fay is also in the mix, while Lasting Love would command particular respect if the ground is softer than good.[Steve Boow]
