13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-3 in bumpers last year (two wins here) and opened hurdling account in modest Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, soft) in December; not discredited when fifth over 2m7f at Thurles (good) later that month and has good claims on this handicap debut if ready to roll after 204-day absence. |

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. |

0-16 but this 6yo has finished second on two of his last three hurdle starts, most recently at Kelso in September; mid-race unseat on chase debut since; each-way chance back hurdling. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won a bumper in May 2024; 0-15 as a hurdler for Gillian Boanas but had his share of seconds and thirds, including over 3m; £12,500 sale in March was quickly followed by wind surgery and, although usual headgear is dispensed with, new trainer Dan Skelton has something to work with; one to note. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Lost out in a tight finish over C&D (soft) in December and creditable third to Big Storm Brewing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; fine on good ground) on latest outing; hurdles score has gone to 0-14, though. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Sedgefield bumper winner (2m1f, good) in May 2024; runner-up (beaten 2l) in a division of this last year, and lost out in a tight finish at Musselburgh (3m) in December; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) next time; must enter the thinking in a weak race. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle in March (2m4f, good to soft); fair run when fourth stepped up to 3m at Southwell last time; each-way chance. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, but ran poorly when dropped back to 2m last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on first attempt at 3m under rules. |

Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March; should be okay back at 2m on this stiff track but 7lb rise demands more from him. |
