0-12 under rules; poor final run for Fergal O'Brien and produced another when last to finish on yard debut at Stratford. |

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. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Second on her last two starts, latest at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) last month in first-time cheekpieces, which are retained; steps up in trip and should give a good account. |

2nd 10 |
21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Placed in slow-ground Irish bumper in January; disappointed when warm favourite for hurdle debut in May but her second in a small field at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month was more encouraging and she's open to further improvement if aided by first-time cheekpieces here. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Changed hands after creditable third in 16-runner Cork bumper (yielding to soft) in January and was not disgraced in good-ground Cheltenham bumper for new stable in April; flopped badly when warm favourite for hurdling debut in May but could still have a good future over jumps; moves up from 2m today. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has shown little in four hurdle starts, including on handicap debut when pulled up at Warwick (2m5f, good) 26 days ago; sports first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and they need to have an impact. |
25/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |

Has shown no notable form in three runs over hurdles and on sole start on the Flat; hopes pinned on the longer trip now switched to handicaps. |

Well beaten on last summer's Flat debut and showed nothing more than minor promise in two maiden hurdles (both 2m, good) for new stable this spring. |

No significant impact after three Flat maidens (1m2f-1m4f for William Haggas) and four races over hurdles; now makes Flat handicap debut. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Showed only minor promise in three 2m maiden/novice hurdles this year and is not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but the new trip may unlock improvement. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Showed some ability on the Flat for William Haggas last year and on her two hurdling starts for Alan King in February/March; only fourth best on merit when modest third at Kempton (2m, good) on latter occasion but this race is easier and she's on the shortlist; hooded for first time. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Well beaten over 2m on last month's stable debut, after a layoff, and did not achieve a great deal when last of five finishers (albeit not beaten that far) over 2m5f 12 days ago; not yet exposed after only six starts but needs improvement over this new trip. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Bled in her final two races for Dan Skelton and was 100-1 when beaten a distance on yard debut in a 2m handicap hurdle at Southwell (good), albeit after a year off; chance hinges on this longer trip making all the difference and her pedigree offers hope. |
13/2 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Bled from the nose on final two starts for Dan Skelton, latterly when pulled-up 66-1 shot on handicap debut just under a year ago; now with Christian Williams (same owner); others have much less to prove. |

9st 12lb |
Completed a turf hat-trick (11.5f-2m) last month and gained the last two wins by very wide margins, latest in a match race; respected in current form, assuming she's as effective back on AW. |

Refused to race on last visit here when due to contest a handicap hurdle in October; won over an extended 1m3f and 2m back on the Flat this month, scoring by 19l last week at Nottingham when 2lb well in under a penalty; that was an apprentice race so has no penalty. |

Reluctant at the start on a few occasions over hurdles in recent times, refusing to jump away on one occasion; has been fine at the stalls in two runs back on the Flat, though, and like Free World is well treated under a penalty following an easy win last Tuesday. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Fairly useful form when placed four times over 1m2f on the Flat for Andrew Balding last year; raced too freely on her first two stable/hurdle starts, easily brushed aside by short-odds winner when remote second at Stratford (2m, good) this month, but there is still hope she might transfer more of her Flat ability to this code. |

Often placed but failed to win (0-8) on the Flat for Andrew Balding; took a keen hold and weakened when last of five on stable/hurdles debut at Newbury (2m, good; 12-1) seven weeks ago; may need time to acclimatise to the demands of this discipline; safer to look elsewhere. |

Fair on the Flat on her going days; has not achieved a great deal in three hurdle runs for new yard this year but she now switches to a handicap and is a possible improver with new headgear tried; one to keep an eye on. |

Fair on the Flat on her going days but was pulled up on stable/hurdle debut in February and probably didn't achieve much when sixth at Worcester (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) a fortnight ago. |
