24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
2-11 over hurdles; built upon satisfactory seasonal debut when creditable second of 14 at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) a fortnight ago and can cope with today's drop back in trip; obvious contender if in similar form again. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Twice well beaten since winning by a huge margin at Bangor in November (2m4f, heavy; four ran); she's another who loves the mud (good to soft the last twice) so should give her running if nothing else. |
8/1 |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Doubled chasing tally with huge-margin success in four-runner contest at Bangor (2m4f, heavy) in November and made audacious bid from the front before weakening into eighth in big field at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; didn't run particularly well on her previous visit to Fakenham but could take some catching if she gets into a good rhythm. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Took a good while to win over fences and that was in a four-runner race at Leicester (2m4f, soft; 2lb lower); held by Lime Drop on their clash in January and could have run better last time. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Respectable third at Market Rasen last time but is far from guaranteed to go two places better, being the least productive contender in this field; overall strike-rate is just 1-25 and chase record is 0-6. |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |

With Dan Skelton when gaining her only success and she's again out of the weights here; opposable. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |

With Dan Skelton when gaining her only success and hard to envisage her doubling that tally here from well out of the weights. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ended a two-year losing run with a strong late surge at Market Rasen (2m, good; last two hurdles omitted) last month in a first-time hood; nudged up only 1lb and likely to be involved again if reproducing that effort. |
4/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
No win since January 2024; consistent (43322) last autumn/winter; tried to make all at Kelso (2m, good) 19 days ago but faded from the second-last, finishing over 15l fourth to the subsequent Perth winner Scots Poet; 3lb lower, with headgear added. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence but she arrives in good nick, ridden aggressively when fifth in 2m Warwick handicap in March; she can make her presence felt after a break. |

28th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Promising novice hurdler last winter and she took a step back in the right direction when 7l second at Hereford (2m, good to soft) last month; however, she's back up in grade today and a bigger performance is required. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year (at Cheltenham) off today's mark; turned her back on chasing this winter and ran quite well over 3m at Kempton before finding soft ground too testing at Ludlow; plenty looks in her favour this time with cheekpieces added. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to hurdling with respectable sixth at Kempton (3m, good) just after Christmas and is now only 2lb higher than when winning valuable final of this series at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last April but the ground here will probably be slower than she prefers. |
14/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Career-best form to end last season, winning at Chepstow before collecting a mares' final at Cheltenham (both about 2m4f on good); ran respectably on return to hurdling three weeks ago but she was below form in February on her only attempt over this far; chase debut. |
