1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Big improver this season in winning three times, the latest over 2m3f here on good (handles softer); another good run last time in a Listed race at Warwick (2m5f, soft) and her form is right up there in this company; the nagging concern is that she was keen and didn't get home over 3m at Windsor two runs back, although the ground was soft. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Others have a lot more substance to their form but she impressed when winning three mares' novice hurdles in the autumn (2m3f-2m5f, good/good to soft; also effective on soft) and failed to settle when fading over 3m last time; retains potential now back down in trip and none of the form horses arrive with rock-solid credentials; interesting contender. |

Point winner who is 0-10 under rules but has largely consistent form; wasn't helped by early mistakes last time; possibilities off current mark provided she avoids errors. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Came good over hurdles over C&D (good to soft) in April and ran well in defeat off today's mark at Stratford (2m2f, good) on latest outing in July; probably won't be far away. |

Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott (2m, good); off the mark over hurdles in a 2m5f Ludlow novice handicap in April (good to soft) but has been a bit disappointing since. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
3l ahead of Rockola when obliging at Ludlow in April (2m5f, good to soft); last-time 15l Aintree fourth off 4lb higher represents her best ever form effort going left-handed, but needs more again here. |

2-4 over fences, her latest success when seeing off two other finishers at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) a month ago; up 5lb but still unexposed as a chaser. |

10st 9lb |
Three chase wins at 2m1f and 2m3f (all on good), the latest in October, but she hasn't lived up to that form since and was a long way behind Califet En Vol over C&D recently; needs revival. |
33/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Has done all her winning on good ground so any rain would be a negative, which counted against her in a Listed chase for mares last time; on a tempting mark with Harry Atkins taking off 7lb if she was on her game (wasn't the case the time before at Ascot). |
20/1 |

6th 6 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful handicap chaser who scored three times last year, most recently at Kelso in October; always behind at Ascot latest start; place possibilities on these terms but ideally needs drying ground, having done her winning on good. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive mare with three wins this season; respectable sixth in stronger company at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last time, 4.5l behind Game Colours; better off at the weights with that rival and a bold bid for a fourth win of the campaign can be expected if she handles these more testing conditions. |

2-8 over hurdles; signed off in good form in the spring, making all at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good), but is 5lb higher now and may not enjoy such a favourable tactical scenario this time. |

12st 0lb |
Third in mares' maiden races at Lingfield and Southwell on last two starts, latterly over an extended 2m5f; better is needed for this handicap debut but it's not hard to think she can raise her game over 3m+. |

Maiden who has had a few chances now in handicaps and she was on the retreat when departing two out at Southwell (3m, good), where Shorten Sassy ran third; not wildly appealing at the minute. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

0-9 over hurdles but has finished second or third in handicaps on all four starts this season; this trip/ground fine and she's likely to go well again. |

3rd 1 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |

0-8 over hurdles but placed on all three appearances this season, most recently when second to a well-backed improver at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft) last month; likely contender again here. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
6yo who has been a major improver back over hurdles this season, winning three times (2m-2m5f, good-soft); having shot up the weights she again ran well when second of four at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in February, but she needs to prove her current mark isn't beyond her; 1lb wrong today. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Would surely have completed a hat-trick had she not unseated at Fakenham last month and strolled home by a wide margin at Hereford (2m3f, soft) next time; however, she went up 14lb for winning that uncompetitive race and her improvement has come at shorter distances (unproven beyond 2m5f). |
7/2 |

1st 2 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Improved form back over hurdles in the autumn, winning in good style at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and Ludlow (2m5f, good); looked set to complete the hat-trick at Fakenham (2m4f, good to soft) last Sunday but rider got unbalanced after the final flight and was unseated; turns out off same mark here and has leading claims if she can avoid any mishaps. |

Dual chase winner in France in spring 2024 but 0-6 and generally disappointing for three different stables in Britain; well beaten in 3m2f chase on last month's debut for Debra Hamer; looks too risky in this 2m hurdle. |
