Has shown little in bumpers at Wetherby and Carlisle this winter; this switch to hurdling needs to spark major improvement. |

Safely held in her first two bumpers but was only beaten about 10l when 100-1 for Market Rasen Listed race (good to soft) last month and should have a future over jumps; shortlisted. |

£20,000 3yo; first foal; dam useful 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner, out of bumper winner; Brian Hughes booked on debut and a market check is advised, but she may be one for further down the line. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
The form of her small-field maiden win in December doesn't amount to much but she bettered her low-key handicap debut when creditable fifth of 15 in valuable series final at Kelso (2m, good to soft) last month; commands respect in this easier race. |
4/1 |

5th 14 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Capitalised on the two market leaders exiting the race three out in four-runner maiden hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; she's unexposed and in good hands but finished down the field on last month's handicap debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft); improvement needed. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Probably a lucky winner of a four-runner novice at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good to soft) but is an unexposed sort who could go well on handicap debut. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently when pulled up in soft-ground handicap on stable debut in January; combination of wind surgery, first-time hood and return to good ground could plausibly prompt a better performance here, though; worth a glance in the betting. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Displayed significant improvement when fitted with cheekpieces for chasing debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January, making all to win by just over 7l; lacked fluency and was pulled up at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) the following month but has strong claims if back on song after 97-day break. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Maiden hurdler who was a very different proposition on her chase debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago when she scored easily by just over 7l; a 7lb rise could have been worse and there's stamina in the pedigree. |
11/10 |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Unable to justify prominence in the betting when safely held in two handicap hurdles (2m4f/3m) towards end of last year but remains unexposed after only six starts and this switch to fences may prompt the improvement that has evidently been expected; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Promising second on hurdle/seasonal debut here (2m1f, soft) in November and improved for the step up in trip to win at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in December, despite her inexperience being evident; useful pedigree provides optimism she'll continue to progress; likely player under a 7lb penalty. |

Has a useful pedigree and she was backed into 3-1 when a promising fourth on last month's debut over C&D (good to soft); that form has a solid look to it and she's in good hands to progress; strong claims. |

Placed in three of her four handicaps but was beaten about 19l when weakening third at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) in February and is not making any progress; hood left off here; stablemate Hidden Target appeals more. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Course bumper winner (soft) who was runner-up at Leicester (2m4f, soft) towards the end of last year in her first two handicaps; only sixth when upped in trip at Taunton (3m, good to soft) last month but she could better that latest run when back on soft ground, on which she's shown her best form. |
