24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has mixed record over fences since last autumn but was a respectable fifth in a much stronger race than this when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is another 3lb lower here; seems best suited by good/good to soft ground; big player. |

Bumper/hurdle winner; very mixed over fences since joining this yard and now returns from a third wind operation; risky. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
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. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but she struggled last year and was beaten 20l at Sedgefield when last seen in November; now 4lb lower than for her last success but she needs a major revival after a break. |
14/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Only 1lb higher than when winning at Ludlow (3m, good) last November but has very unconvincing record since returning from a break in April; lost jockey when attempting to refuse at first flight on penultimate appearance and was soundly beaten when fourth last time; others are much less risky. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from a break with two below-par hurdle runs in the spring; lost her jockey after a bad mistake over fences in July and repeated the feat when slamming the brakes on back over hurdles at Stratford 18 days ago; might be developing ideas and she can only be watched after that. |

Placed in slowly run Stratford novice (2m, good to firm) in July and reportedly lost her action when pulled up on handicap debut there later that month; not one of her stable's stars but remains unexposed. |

16th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Better chaser than hurdler and won by over 8l here last month; a 7lb rise didn't look too harsh and she duly ran well again at Warwick, finding only one too good (again on soft); enters the reckoning. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 |
21st Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

didn't always jump with fluency, held up in rear, headway 12th, went third after 13th, no impression approaching last, kept on and went second towards finish, no match for winner |
7/4 |

1st 7 |
9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won her only point; handicap hurdle win came off 2lb higher and she ran two solid races in that discipline before finding only one too good on her switch to fences over C&D 12 days ago (heavy); aided by another low weight, she should have a part to play. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Drops in grade and now 2lb below her last winning mark, but well beaten in both starts since returning in April; probably needs further than this now. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Had no peace in front on her AW comeback here three weeks ago, when well held at a big price; back to the mark off which she won at Ripon last summer but finished last season on a downswing and needs to bounce back. |

7th 3 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Dual turf winner (1m6f/2m) last summer; off since two below-par runs in the autumn, though, and still on fairly tough mark for this rare AW run. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive 7yo who held on well to score at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month and is now 4-6 in handicaps; latest 5lb rise does not look excessive and it's hard to tell when her improvement will level off; respected. |

Ran well in defeat behind a progressive mare at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in May but her form has dipped in the meantime and she's now 0-13 over hurdles. |

Fell heavily mid-race on latest outing and now 0-11 over hurdles but was second to a big improver at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) two starts ago and is a contender if judged on that performance. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won comfortably under Ned Fox at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and also ran well when fourth there (2m4f, soft) later that month; below that level on latest outing (2m5f), though, and current mark demands a career-best effort. |
6/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Unraced on fast ground and best form was her second on soft ground at Exeter in January (2m5f); however, ran okay after a break at Chepstow (2m, good) and returns to a better trip here. |
11/2 |

5th 10 |
10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |

Came good with wide-margin success at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in November and was placed twice on slow ground after the turn of the year (2m5f/2m4f); might find 2m a bit sharp on this first run since February, though. |

Two of her better efforts came on this track, most recently in a staying hurdle in July 2023; seen only three times since and was pulled up on her recent chase debut so has lots to prove; 3lb wrong. |

18th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Regressive since showing early promise on the Flat in Ireland as a 2yo, her last six starts coming over hurdles; look elsewhere. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |

Showed some ability on the Flat in Ireland but she's been well held in five hurdle runs for current yard, including since switched to handicaps; out of the weights and needs the first-time blinkers to turn things around. |
18/1 |
