13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Good impression made on April's Ayr hurdling debut (2m, good to soft; third won next time), but form of successful Newton Abbot follow-up has taken a few knocks and it was a crunching fall she took at Ffos Las latest; mark okay, and all about whether she's over that unfortunate experience. |

22nd May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Three Flat wins in Germany; up and down in Britain but was involved in two close finishes in 2024 (best RPR 87); 2-2 over hurdles for new yard, having it pretty much her own way at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) recently; Sir Galahad will provide much more of a test but it looks tight between them. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Off since below-par run in October but the form of his breakthrough win at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in September worked out quite well; cheekpieces (worn once last summer) are given another whirl; contender if fully tuned up. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well down the pecking order in his top yard but opened his hurdles account in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good; beat a subsequent scorer) most recently and may build on that solid success; respected. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Quite useful on the Flat in France last year; 0-7 and generally disappointing over hurdles but the form of his close third at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) two starts ago reads quite well, and his top trainer has an excellent strike-rate (6-14) with his occasional Sedgefield runners. |

10st 6lb |
0-10 over hurdles; two of this year's six runs for Fergal O'Brien offered significant hope but she was soundly beaten on her latest outing; now back in the care of Barry Brennan; others have much less to prove. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Ever more temptingly handicapped, and still doing some okay late work behind the uncontainable Beorma over Southwell's 2m4f last time; previous tribulations in two Cornish points and one other staying hurdle temper enthusiasm ahead of this step back up in trip, however. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Remains winless and she underwent wind surgery before a below-par fifth of eight in 2m Huntingdon handicap two weeks ago; others are preferred. |

Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was well beaten when 40-1 for recent handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, good); drops back in trip with tongue-tie and blinkers added here. |

Has got better with each of his four runs, finishing a 22l fifth in a Newton Abbot novice (2m1f, good) four weeks ago, and this handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity; however, improvement is still needed. |

Placed in a Fontwell bumper (good) and a 2m Worcester novice hurdle (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in June, but not so good since, most recently on handicap debut when appearing not to stay the 2m4f; drops back in trip with a bit to prove. |

0-6 but respectable efforts when placed in a bumper (good) and 2m novices' hurdle (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) here last month; not as good back here latest; step up in trip is probably a positive; not ruled out. |
