4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Getting on and it's been a while since she won on turf; arrives in fair form but she only holds each-way claims dropped another 3lb. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
No win since last March but thereabouts on most occasions since, including over C&D and on AW three days ago; could make her presence felt. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time winner over C&D and 2lb lower than for the latest; never figured on last month's stable debut at Leicester after 217 days off, but she may have needed it and no great surprise if she ran well. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 2m2f hurdles winner at his best but he ended his time with Gary and Josh Moore out of sorts before Christmas; pulled up on his yard debut over C&D recently and tongue-tie is added here. |
50/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in 2022 whose latest success came in a classified event (1m2f) last August when with the Moores; minor hurdle form in the autumn and up against it for new yard after a break. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won basement-grade Flat race this summer and returned to hurdling with very respectable fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; still unexposed over hurdles after only two attempts and has possibilities here; first ride over jumps for 10lb claimer Ben Pollard (three Flat wins). |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overcame a slow start to win a C&D handicap (firm) in April; completely blew the start at Wolverhampton last month and was always behind thereafter; has the ability to pop up again but too risky for comfort. |
15/2 |
|
11th 5 (11) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Got into the habit of blowing the start but in fair form, adding to her trainer's good recent run when winning on turf last time; has not looked to see it out in a couple of previous tries over this far, though, and is drawn widest upped 3lb. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner, most recently at Brighton last May off a 2lb lower mark than today's; has posted some good efforts on the AW this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month, but she can be slowly away so she needs things to drop tight. |

C&D winner; comes here on the back of two good course runs over 1m4f but defying the widest stall over this C&D could be an insurmountable challenge. |

9st 0lb |
Only 2l away over 1m4f here in early March and last win was over C&D just over a year ago; however, this veteran is usually opposable these days. |
14/1 |

5th 9 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Veteran who gained the last six of his 12 wins on Tapeta; has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from break in October; revival needed. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who gained the last six of his 12 wins on Tapeta; ran fairly well from the front when fifth here (1m2f) two starts ago but has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in October; others preferred. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Twice second (over 1m2f) in classified company at Chelmsford over the winter but his more recent form is not so encouraging, sixth of 13 in 1m2f classified event at Newcastle last time; on a long losing run too. |
14/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

14-race maiden on turf; tailed off on return to grass at Catterick last time (1m4f, good; cheekpieces; lost a shoe); has blinkers back on but hard to fancy. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

Ten defeats include three for her current yard and overall profile is none too compelling; perhaps the cheekpieces can bring her on. |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Poor for Martin Dunne and, having shown a bit more on her debut for this yard last month, ran dismally at Southwell; having her first run on turf and needs to improve a deal for the surface switch. |
