13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle/chase winner; her jumping left a bit to be desired back over hurdles in new blinkers at Exeter a month ago (2m, good; no match for the 8l winner) and Brendan Powell presumably prefers the chances of stablemate Ellerton. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here last season on good to firm and beat four rivals on chase debut at Uttoxeter in November (2m, heavy); the wheels have come off but she's back hurdling now and with blinkers given a go; not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (2m, good to soft) who scored on her chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in November; she didn't jump well when pulled up at Wincanton on Boxing Day and has something to prove on the back of that, but she remains of interest in view of her previous promise. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Started off in handicap hurdles with three good-ground wins for Kevin Philippart de Foy last spring (2m-2m1f) and is back on a good mark now; just a respectable fourth when back over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good) three weeks ago but still enters calculations. |
16/1 |

4th 3 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
3-9 over hurdles but was tailed off in her final jumps run in November (2m2f, good) and she's been good and bad on the AW since then; C&D winner who is on a realistic mark but she is becoming tough to predict. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Rare Flat runner for her jumps-oriented yard; has been faring respectably in similar company of late, latterly in a Kempton handicap that didn't pan out ideally; one to consider. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Close third of six on seasonal/handicap debut at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in November and also ran well when fifth of 13 at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in December; considered each-way. |
8/1 |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
30l eighth on debut at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in January and well behind in third when unseating at Lingfield (2m, soft) recently; her attractive pedigree suggests she won't come into her own until tackling further. |
50/1 |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Beaten a distance on heavy ground in a 2m novice for mares at Chepstow but was noticeably short in the betting at 5-1 and may do better. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumped into a improver when second on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last March and held every chance before last-flight fall on seasonal reappearance there (2m6f, soft) in November; chasing has not gone to plan on her last two outings but she reverts to hurdling on a good mark and with a new visor fitted; big player if back on song. |
7/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Low-mileage maiden who has hurdles form at Ffos Las; modest effort (last of three finishers) at Lingfield switched to chasing last time but may improve for that experience. |
5/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-4 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up in trip when keeping-on second behind an improver on handicap debut here (2m4f, good; first-time tongie-tie) in March; had wind op during eight-month break; open to more improvement if this stiffer stamina test suits. |

Runner-up in both bumpers (soft/good to soft) and things may click over hurdles at some stage, but she's yet to shine in this discipline. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Runner-up in both her bumpers but hasn't jumped well in two hurdles, finishing tailed off here and then departing early at Taunton (25-1); best watched for now. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
An each-way case can be made on her January bumper form (2m/1m7f, soft/heavy; including here) but she was tailed off over C&D (soft; 10-1) on last month's hurdle debut and needs to leave that run miles behind. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

From the family of talented hurdler/chaser Lalor; similar sort of form in her two bumpers (soft/heavy), the latest here when beaten a little over 6l; looks to have a future. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Runner-up in a bumper last spring; showed no significant promise in three maiden/novice hurdles this year (1m7f-2m1f) but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and is hiked up in trip; sports first-time blinkers and refitted tongue-tie; no surprise if she makes the necessary improvement. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced and best effort yet when third of five runners in her third handicap start at Fontwell (2m5f, soft); if coping with this surface then clearly has some sort of chance; 1lb out of the weights. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Still to finish anywhere near after six starts but was well supported at Hereford a month ago despite being 5lb out of the handicap; evidently felt capable of better and does at least race off her correct mark this time. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 |
11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very moderate form in three qualifying runs and the switch to handicaps didn't spark a better effort when beaten 35l at Fontwell (about 2m5f, heavy) in December; still early days but she's 5lb wrong and not easily fancied. |

Was slowly away and never got involved in a barrier trial at Leopardstown last month; half-sister to Group 1 winner and likely to do better at some stage but possibly best watched at present. |
