14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Below best when beaten 1-3 favourite in Wincanton Listed race in February but the ground was heavy there and she's better judged on her game win in valuable Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) two starts ago; also suited by good ground; high on the list. |

14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner, who made it 2-4 over fences with a brave win a Class 2 handicap at Windsor (2m4f, soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; sets the standard on that form and she's open to more progress on this drop back in trip; strong contender. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Front-running mare; won at Kempton (2m2f, good) on chase debut and not disgraced in two subsequent starts, latest when almost 5l behind Hollygrove Cha Cha at Exeter (2m1f, heavy); has had wind surgery since and now gets a 6lb pull with that rival; bred to be as effective back over 2m4f; in the mix. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Second in a Listed bumper last season and won the mares' final at Newbury (2m4f handicap, good) in March; that was off 10lb lower but she's proving herself off this mark and only just missed out on the places at Leopardstown last time (2m2f, heavy); should have every chance. |

11st 8lb |
Second in a Listed bumper last season and won the mares' final at Newbury (2m4f handicap, good) in March on her fourth start over hurdles; useful standard of form overall; second when favourite at Cheltenham last time; interesting but may find the locals too good. |

11st 2lb |
Winning bumper debut at Hereford (2m) in October 2023; failed to stay 2m4f on hurdles debut at Huntingdon in November but more like it when runner-up over 2m at Taunton (good to soft) latest; needs more again. |

11st 7lb |
0-6 in Irish points and 0-4 under rules, finishing tailed off on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month (behind three of these); plenty to prove. |

11st 7lb |
0-6 in Irish points and beaten at least 20l under Fern O'Brien in her bumper and two hurdle races; this looks a tough opening mark on the face of it but stepping up from 2m should suit; better could be on its way. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Well served by sharp left-handed tracks and good ground, winning at Stratford (2m maiden) and Sedgefield (2m5f handicap) last year; impression given when second at Warwick latest (2m5f) was that she'll stay further and that is partly backed up by pedigree. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden winner who made a successful handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) but hasn't advanced her form from there; however, soft ground perhaps not ideal the last time and this 6yo is bred to improve with her racing. |
20/1 |

3rd 2 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
2-5 over hurdles, the latter win gained on seasonal/handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in November; not seen since lesser effort later than month and not yet tested on ground slower than good to soft but may still have potential. |
