Rated 81 after 1m heavy ground win at Leicester last October on her final start for Ralph Beckett; potentially useful hurdling recruit for Tom Gibney. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
6lb below his last winning mark but recent form has been patchy, his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month surrounded by lesser efforts at the same track; 1-18 on AW; others more compelling. |

Won over 1m on soft and heavy ground last year and best run this campaign was four weeks ago when fourth at Nottingham (good to soft); interesting with conditions in his favour and off a good mark. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Beverley (8.5f, good) and Chester (1m, good to firm) in the spring, but hasn't run as well since, including at Chester on Friday (favourite but slowly away); has won on soft ground; not out of it. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all (around 1m) at Beverley and Ayr in the spring but he went too freely when sixth of 13 in 1m Ripon handicap nine days ago; well drawn here so not discounted now reverted in trip. |
9/1 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win at Beverley (8.5f, good) in April and Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May but he raced too enthusiastically when back at Beverley 22 days ago and faded; holds claims if bouncing back; stablemate of Poet's Dawn. |

9st 9lb |
Eight-race maiden; creditable third in handicaps at Doncaster in July and Ffos Las in August (both over 1m on soft ground) but well beaten on last two starts (perhaps failed to stay 1m2f last time); may do better back at 1m. |

11th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden who has largely consistent form and whose 2024 efforts (over 1m) suggest this new trip is worth exploring; interesting off a reduced mark, with belated improvement possible. |

Showed promise when third of nine on her Yarmouth debut (7f, good) in July, but also showed a bit of attitude and has been disappointing in four outings since; best watched for now. |

Has defied current mark three times, including in this race 12 months ago, and Jack Callan removes a bonus 5lb today; close second at Brighton (7f) latest start; respected. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Seven-time winner who handles any ground but he can miss the break; now 2lb lower than for his Newbury win (1m, good) in May but he's lost his way since and needs a major revival. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |
25/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Has won three of his last four regulation races, two on the AW and the other at Doncaster in March (1m, good); won the charity race at York for the second time 12 days ago, goes well on soft ground and one to take seriously. |
