23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rejoined Sophie Leech after remote second in selling hurdle last month; made no impact when 50-1 for 2m1f handicap hurdle three weeks later and reverts to chasing with quite a bit to prove; cheekpieces removed. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Bagged a four-timer (around 2m) over hurdles/fences last winter; not at her best of late though and finished a remote second in 2m Hexham seller three weeks ago on her final run for Jennie Candlish; more needed in refitted cheekpieces for her new handler. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Four wins over hurdles and fences in 2025 (about 2m2f; ground ranging from good to soft); not in the same form since returning from a layoff in January, including in a Stratford seller in March, but this is easier and she's a viable option. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; cheekpieces replace blinkers and she's a likely player after a break. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Eventually opened account at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April, her 24th hurdling start, and has made the frame on all three subsequent appearances; may find others better handicapped here, though. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beat last weekend's winner Tara Iti at Sedgefield in April (2m1f, good); similar form in finishing second the last twice and although some 13l behind Auntie Maggie in her penultimate race, she has a hefty swing in the weights with that rival; regularly partnered by Joshua Thompson. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Won a Sedgefield handicap hurdle in May (2m1f, good to firm) but has been rather disappointing over hurdles and on the Flat since; needs to bounce back. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Sound third over C&D on latest start, in August (good to firm); very hard to win with (0-14 over hurdles, 1-21 on the Flat) but could get a place. |
9/2 |

3rd 10 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
1-34; returns to hurdles (0-13) for the first time in a while; weakened in newly applied cheekpieces (now discarded) when fourth of nine on the Flat at Catterick (2m; 16-1) this month. |
13/2 |

Sole win from 33 starts came on the AW at Wolverhampton (around 2m) in October; well-held third on her last two starts, including over C&D in May, but cheekpieces may be able to help; each-way chance. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won over C&D in early part of last season and looked as good as ever when going close in a quite valuable Cartmel handicap (2m1f, good) in July on latest outing; ought to make her presence felt. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Not quite at his best this year but last month's Hexham third was respectable and she remains only 2lb higher than when beating Saligo Bay to win this race under Thomasina Eyston in 2025; can't be ruled out. |

Fair third from out of the weights in a C&D handicap (good to firm) 12 days ago; 2lb lower today but this looks tougher than last time and she's now 0-22 over hurdles. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Has a fondness for Fakenham and she put up a good show when winning her second chase on that track (2m5f, good to soft) in January from out of the weights; has continued in form there since but others might be stronger finishers away from that track. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |

Won for the second time here, but the first over this distance, in January at 40-1; unlucky not to finish closer when second of three finishers back over C&D (soft) four weeks ago and must be on the shortlist. |

10st 11lb |
2-42 when trained in Ireland; respectable fourth under Ben Smith at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February was easily the best of her four races for new yard; 7lb lower today but she probably can't be relied upon. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Very modest form over hurdles and well beaten at 25-1 on her Flat handicap debut here (1m4f, good) two months ago; she's hard to fancy on the back of that but the first-time tongue-tie may help this bumper winner and she's not written off. |
20/1 |

11th 6 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |

0-7 over hurdles and hasn't threatened on her first three Flat starts; however, this bumper winner goes up in trip off a lowly opening Flat mark and Hollie Doyle has been booked; no surprise to see a good run. |
8/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Yet to register a victory and she was pulled up on her stable debut in 2m Sedgefield handicap hurdle 30 days ago; very hard to make a case for. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

0-10 over hurdles and absent since heavy defeat for Pauline Robson at Cartmel (2m6f) last summer; well handicapped on old form but probably best watched on stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
