8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Scored at Haydock (2m5f) in March and largely in good nick since, though she beat only one in 2m4f Worcester handicap hurdle 33 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

First-time visor and enjoyed a soft lead when winning at Haydock (2m5f, good) in March; bumped into one when second last time but that still completed a subsequent run of double-figure defeats. |

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. |

9th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Ended last season with two fairly respectable thirds (one behind Could Be Trouble) under Daire McConville (2m5f/3m1f, good) and remains on a good mark but her last win was in 2021 and she's not very reliable. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't won a race since late 2021 but continues to run well now and again, as was the case last time at Haydock when tried in cheekpieces (2m5f, good); can't be ruled out in this weak a contest. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Hurdles winner in 2023 for previous yard; form for current stable is far from convincing, most recently well beaten on chase debut; nearly a stone out of the weights back up in grade; new headgear needs to make a massive difference. |

Won a maiden hurdle in 2023 but very hard to fancy judged on her seven races from November 2024 onwards, the last two in cheekpieces. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Suffered her first reverse under rules when pulled up on reappearance (2m7f; reportedly made a respiratory noise); off three months (wind surgery) before Market Rasen (extended 2m4f, soft) in February when by no means disgraced in form terms, although that 10l ninth of 12 shows that improvement is needed if others give their running; dropped 2lb, 7lb claimer is recruited and the opposition have their own questions to answer. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a Lingfield mares' maiden hurdle in February (2m3f, heavy) and good second in a mares' event on handicap debut at Uttoxeter the following month; reportedly made a respiratory noise when pulled up on reappearance; has since had wind surgery and much better expected. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Point winner (3m, soft) who returned from an absence to post promising fourth on hurdle debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) in January; had to work hard to win at 2-5 at Lingfield (2m3f, heavy) last month but could have plenty more to offer and her yard is in excellent form; handicap debut. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
In the frame all four hurdling starts, most recently when fourth of eight in Doncaster handicap (2m5f, good) this month; probably needs to find something extra to open her account here but that's possible. |
5/1 |

4th 7 |
2nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 181y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Needs to produce more than she managed when a soundly beaten third on handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, soft) in January but this well-bred mare drops back down in grade today and could take a step forward. |
