11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Listed bumper winner who built upon previous promise over hurdles when sent up in trip for her handicap debut and winning that 15-runner mares' novice handicap at Newbury in good style; has the 7lb mares' allowance but she still needs to find something extra and can make the odd mistake. |
9/1 |

1st 1 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
3-5 in bumpers, including a Sandown Listed win on good to soft; won at Chepstow (2m, soft) on third attempt over hurdles and runner-up in the other three; cheekpieces latest (ran creditably); has top weight on this handicap debut but going beyond 2m1f for first time could prove just the ticket. |

2nd 1 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
3-5 in bumpers last season, including a win at Listed level; she got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, soft) three weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces go on and she still needs to brush up her jumping in order to progress but should run well. |

11st 6lb |
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. |

17l ninth of 12 on debut in Listed mares' bumper at Cheltenham (2m, good) in November and well-beaten third at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last month; considerable improvement is needed. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Has just over 5l to find with White Noise on their Warwick clash in February (2m3f, heavy) but a 5lb pull with the winner can only help her cause and perhaps 3m on soft ground stretched her when a remote second at Doncaster (Listed); has to enter the reckoning. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
An improving mare who won two of her first three races over hurdles and wasn't disgraced at Warwick when raised into a Grade 2 (2m3f, heavy); unraced beyond an extended 2m4f under rules but she won a 3m point and there's stamina in her pedigree. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Useful in bumpers last season and 2-3 over hurdles this term, the wins gained by clear margins over C&D (good to soft) and at Ayr (2m4f, heavy); has more on her plate in this higher grade, though. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Tailed off in Listed bumper in January and showed nothing more than minor promise in three novice/maiden hurdles this season (2m-2m1f) but represents a good stable and ought to be more competitive in this handicap. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Well held before penultimate-flight fall on hurdling debut in May and did not get competitive when seventh of nine at Worcester (2m, good) last month; improvement required. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Marked improvement to win at Windsor in January in her third hurdle race; came from off the pace when fourth of nine at Market Rasen (again 2m, soft) and never got to grips with today's rivals Charisma Cat and Watamu, a result which leaves her with something to find but this is a different trip and her trainer is a dab hand at big handicap wins. |
3/1 |

4th 2 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who showed significant improvement when getting off the mark over hurdles at Windsor (2m) last month on her first time on soft ground; there should be more to come now that she has got her head in front. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Looked promising in bumpers last season (made the frame in a Listed race); just a respectable fourth on hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October but, under a much more positive ride, had the short-odds favourite out of his comfort zone before falling three out at Ascot (1m7f, good) in November; could still have significant potential. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Two hurdle wins have been at 2m3f, notably Warwick Grade 2 defeat of subsequent Ryanair Mares winner White Noise; keen in first-time cheekpieces in Ryanair and didn't get home when eighth of 22 behind same rival; headgear left off. |
25/1 |

8th 12 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won two bumpers and was third in the Grade 2 for mares at the Grand National meeting; her only defeat over hurdles came in a race won by Old Park Star and she was a game winner of a Grade 2 at Warwick last time, beating White Noise (2m3f, heavy; fine on good to soft); has a likeable attitude but that takes you only so far; cheekpieces are turned to; others preferred. |
22/1 |
|
1st 7 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Listed bumper winner who was placed in Grade 2 bumper at last season's Aintree festival; far too good for recent Grade 2 winner Kripticjim when scoring by 7l on seasonal/hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November and probably paid a price for trying to match strides with very exciting Old Park Star when well-held third at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) in December; back up in trip here; leading contender. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Won two bumpers last term on good to soft; she's failed to match that form over hurdles but second of six on handicap debut at Wetherby (extended 2m3f, soft) last time was at least her best show in this sphere. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
3m point runner-up (heavy) who won two bumpers last term (good to soft; including here); yet to reproduce that promise over hurdles (2m4f/2m) but she kept on nicely at Kempton (2m) most recently and could appreciate the step back up in trip on handicap debut; has potential off opening mark. |
11/4 |
|
7th 13 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two bumper wins last season (good to soft) but her hurdle form hasn't matched up and she called it a day at Southwell last time out; has had wind surgery since; handicaps may be a better option now. |

Hurdle winner for Dan Skelton; placed on his last two runs in hunter chases, last time finishing third at Hexham (3m, good) where Whatdeawant was 18l in front of her in second; each-way chance. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won mares' novice hurdle for Dan Skelton last October and ran respectably in second in a hunter chase at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) last month on her second start for this yard; shaped last time as though this trip may be within range and she could be involved. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |

Won mares' novice hurdle (2m3f, good) for Dan Skelton in October but didn't really fulfill her potential for that stable and struggled to get competitive (albeit in stronger race than this) on stable/hunter chase debut at Haydock three weeks ago. |

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. |

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. |

11st 6lb |
Dug deep to win soft-ground Newbury bumper on debut last season and has made the frame on three of her four hurdling starts this term; does not appear to be making any progress but ought to be on the premises here. |

4th 4 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Appears betwixt and between trip-wise at present, not seeing out 2m4f at Southwell before registering a keeping-on third over Taunton's 2m1f latest (good to soft); may fare better in handicaps either way. |
10/1 |
