24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
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. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Won handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, soft) in February 2025 but safely held on all seven starts this season; chasing debut latest; 4lb out of the handicap. |

Made a winning handicap hurdle debut off today's mark at Bangor (2m3f, soft) a year ago but safely held on all six starts this season; considered only if lively in the betting before this chasing debut. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-17 under rules and plodded on to grab third at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; sports first-time tongue-tie but lacks the scope of her younger rivals. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Still a maiden after 16 runs but hasn't been with current stable long and wasn't beaten far when fourth of six on chasing debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; may benefit from this drop back in trip and has the services of Sean Bowen; worth a second look. |
9/1 |

4th 3 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close at Bangor early last year and was placed again next time; however, her form ran cold afterwards and she finished well behind over hurdles last week after a layoff. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Now 9lb below the mark of her sole hurdling success (2m3f, heavy), but aptitude for chasing remains unproven, falling mid-race on one attempt and racing too freely on the other. |
33/1 |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Mid-race faller in sole chase attempt; has a doubt over current form but is nicely treated assuming this return to fences prompts a resurgence; gained sole hurdles success off 5lb higher. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time hurdle winner last spring; 0-3 over fences but posted sound effort when second of five behind much-improved rival over C&D (good) three weeks ago; likely contender again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won three handicap hurdles within the space of four runs last year (all at 2m on goodish ground) and the last of those was off this mark; may have needed the run last time after a break and showed some aptitude for fences when an 18l third at Uttoxeter in October. |
2/1 |
|
5th 8 |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won three around this time last year, latest over C&D (good to soft); beaten four times since, the last two over fences; switches back to hurdles and worth a look in the betting. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at the third attempt, making most at Hereford (2m, good); jumped to her left that day but to her right when beaten 4l at Worcester since; still ran well and she's in the mix. |
3/1 |

3rd 9 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at third attempt, making virtually all at good pace at Hereford (2m, good) six weeks ago, despite jumping slightly left throughout; 4lb higher here but this switch to an anti-clockwise track looks the right move. |
5/1 |
|
1st 9 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Came good on handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December, staying on well to cause 20-1 surprise; ought to have coped better with the soft ground when only seventh at Bangor last month but may yet have more to offer; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
20-1 under claimer William Maggs for handicap debut in 13-runner race at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December and she snatched the win with a strong late bid from mid-division; up 4lb and the very mixed displays in her qualifying races aren't yet forgotten, but she may now have turned a corner. |

Never dangerous at 40-1 when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f) in June 2023; 9lb lower today but has raced only once since, when pulled up at 200-1 in a 2m3f novice 18 days ago; plenty to prove. |

Plenty to find on form and badly lacks recent match practice having been absent since June 2023; returns as a 9yo and best watched. |
