24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
C&D winner on this card last year and made it 5-9 here when making all to defeat Sir Galahad by 3l three weeks ago; 6lb rise sees her on a career-high mark but lots to like otherwise. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Four of her five wins over hurdles have been at this track (three over today's distance); must overcome a lengthy absence and is 7lb higher than for her last success but she cannot he dismissed around here. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Keen-going front-runner; in career-best form this season, winning twice over 2m4f in May before very creditable second in valuable C&D contest last month; effective on good and soft ground; could be hard to catch. |

24th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Two hurdle wins (2m-2m1f) on slow ground for Olly Murphy in 2023, but she's not seen much action since and was pulled up in two runs (point/handicap chase) during the winter; still unexposed in this sphere but she needs a major revival with cheekpieces added. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual hurdle winner (2m-2m1f, on slow ground) when with Olly Murphy; not seen under rules since January 2024, since when she has changed hands; pulled up in a point last December; handy mark if revived. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 21212 since joining Olly Murphy; edged out by a next-time-out winner (pair 19l clear) at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) last time and still looks well treated after a 3lb nudge. |
5/4 |

2nd 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 2121 since joining Olly Murphy and she kept on well to beat a clear second at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month; this is a different test at this new trip but she has quite a bit of stamina in pedigree and still looks on a workable mark; respected. |
7/2 |

1st 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive since joining this yard, winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in December before close second in warm mares' handicap at Windsor (2m4f, soft); drops back down in grade today and could play a leading role. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Twice well beaten since winning by a huge margin at Bangor in November (2m4f, heavy; four ran); she's another who loves the mud (good to soft the last twice) so should give her running if nothing else. |
8/1 |

7th 3 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Doubled chasing tally with huge-margin success in four-runner contest at Bangor (2m4f, heavy) in November and made audacious bid from the front before weakening into eighth in big field at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; didn't run particularly well on her previous visit to Fakenham but could take some catching if she gets into a good rhythm. |
5/1 |

5th 5 |
17th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Took a good while to win over fences and that was in a four-runner race at Leicester (2m4f, soft; 2lb lower); held by Lime Drop on their clash in January and could have run better last time. |
