18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Rules wins (including one chase) came on soft or heavy but it was good ground when close up behind Streamsforth Lad over C&D last month; good chance. |

3rd 3 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Her hurdle win was on soft and the chase win at Hereford two runs back on heavy; had luck on her side that day and was then beaten 10l off this mark at Leicester (good to soft); however, at least she's a recent winner and did win a point on good ground. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
2m6f soft-ground mares' novice hurdle winner at Uttoxeter in December 2024; struggled in a couple of handicap hurdles back from almost a year out, but made a winning chase debut, ridden by Darren Andrews, when left clear at Hereford (3m1f, heavy) last month; may have been lucky but respected off 2lb higher. |

Always behind when 50-1 for 2m1f handicap hurdle here (soft) on stable debut in June and now 0-7 over hurdles; moves back up in trip for this chasing debut; not the most obvious answer. |

0-6 over hurdles for Alastair Ralph, and her second at Stratford (2m, good) in April came in a very ordinary mares' maiden; sold for £9,000 last month; needs improvement on stable debut; tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed. |

Struggled to cope with heavy ground in her latest qualifying race but was placed in run-of-the-mill mares' novice at Uttoxeter (2m6f, soft) in December and remains unexposed; tongue-tie added for handicap debut. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Beat a notable rival (now useful) in a point bumper but that was back in April 2022 and she ran to a modest level on her belated return/hurdling debut at Uttoxeter in December; tongue-tie now added but she would appear to be flying too high here. |

10st 9lb |
Got off the mark under rules when jumping well in a Newcastle handicap chase (2m7f, good) 13 months ago; off the track for 348 days prior to her return over that C&D last month, when easy to back and beaten 23l; well treated back on her winning mark and could come on for her reappearance. |

Winning Irish pointer in April 2024 (3m, good); unexposed under rules, getting off the mark when scoring over C&D on chase debut last March; hasn't run since; only 3lb higher and could go well. |

Second of 11 on her hurdles debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) in November, but disappointing in three starts since, including a handicap; still relatively unexposed and now has attention turned to fences. |

Won handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, soft) last February 2025 but he's been well held in eight runs this season and latest was at Hereford last week; out of the weights again and he can only be watched. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-10 under rules but left disappointing chase debut behind when second of ten at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January, and last month's Warwick third (3m, soft) was also a good effort; a possible if in similar form on the faster ground here. |

Point winner who is 0-9 under rules but showed improved form when second at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) last month on her second chase start; this lightly raced 9yo may well be able to get off the mark today. |
