1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two hurdle wins, most recently in February, but she's been out of luck in three chase runs, including when a remote last of four at Uttoxeter (about 3m, good) in June; has it to prove for now. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Failed to convince as a chaser in two attempts at last season; subsequently won over hurdles (2m3f, soft) but her form dipped afterwards; took step back in right direction when well-held second in four-runner hurdle last month (3m2f, good to firm) but needs another on this return to fences. |

Seemingly back in good nick when winning readily at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in February but ended last season with two lesser efforts (3m/2m7f) and has questions to answer again over this new trip. |

10st 12lb |
Held up; 1-9 over hurdles but 5lb lower than when fourth under Murray Dodd at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December, her best form; no match for Indannya or Fresh As A Daisy at Warwick next time, but her latest start (pulled up at Ludlow; tongue tied first time) is the chief worry. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Just 1-8 over hurdles but kept on well to take fourth from out of the weights in good Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good to soft) in December and also ran well when placed in Warwick novice (2m5f, good to soft) at end of that month; won't be far away if she copes with the slower ground here; tongue-tie added. |

12st 0lb |
Won a bumper in 2022 and returned from long absence with two promising hurdle runs last winter but her two handicap runs in November were disappointing and it takes a leap of faith to support her here. |

20th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |

Twice-raced mare who returned with a leg injury after winning Worcester bumper (good) in June 2022; labouring in a well-held third when the clear leader fell at Newbury (2m, soft) last month and she inherited second place; should progress with that reappearance effort under her belt. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Scored at up to 3m over hurdles at Stratford and fences at Hexham early last summer; well below par both runs this spring after 11 months off, though, pulled up in 3m2f hurdle at Stratford in May; has it to prove now. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won the 2m6f novice hurdle on this card a year ago (good ground) and followed up in handicap chase at Hexham (3m, good to soft) three weeks later, but returned from layoff with lacklustre chase run last month; now reverts to hurdling over new trip and with headgear switched. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won an uncompetitive novice hurdle (2m6f, good) last May and the following month made a successful chase debut at Hexham (3m, good to soft); a long absence is perhaps a greater concern than the 4lb rise. |

Mixed form across her five starts but has shown ability and goes handicapping off a modest mark; this lightly raced 6yo has a useful pedigree and is open to improvement; not ruled out. |

Looked quite promising in bumpers last spring and is still unexposed over hurdles but was beaten about 38l on last month's handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) and will clearly need a much better performance here. |

Promise in bumpers last spring; respectable efforts in her first two hurdle races (wind surgery in between); no show when remote on latest but it's possible that she's about to show more now that she goes handicapping. |

10st 6lb |
Won a Fontwell handicap (3m, good) for Ryan Potter last May but she's been disappointing since including in two runs for new yard this spring; mark continues to fall but she was pulled up at Taunton last time and has a lot to prove; hood is added and tongue-tie is removed. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

2lb lower than for Ffos Las win (3m, good) for Ryan Potter last May; soft ground might be blamed for two heavy defeats late last year and perhaps she needed the race when unable to justify market prominence on recent stable debut behind two of these over C&D last month; wore cheekpieces last time and also tongue tied today; interesting to see if her backers return. |
