23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Back on the up (in first-time cheekpieces) when easily landing a gamble in 2m1f handicap at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; up 7lb but runner-up has gone in since so this C&D winner merits serious consideration in retained headgear. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two novice hurdles on good ground last May (2m/2m1f); no impact at 12-1 or bigger in five handicaps but she rallied to finish a respectable sixth of 15 at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in March; continues to drop down the weights and could be dangerous if first-time cheekpieces work. |
7/2 |

6th 11 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won two novice hurdles last May (2m/2m1f) and she could benefit from this drop back in trip; however, she hasn't shone in handicaps this winter and others are more compelling, including stablemate First Candidate. |

0-19 and she was last to finish in a 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen last month; others more persuasive. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Struggled to get competitive in second half of last year and returns from break with overall strike-rate standing at 0-35; 4lb wrong; overlooked. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-18 over hurdles and 0-17 on the Flat; pulled up in C&D maiden in December and makes no significant appeal from 2b out of the weights on handicap return. |

1st 12 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |
10/1 |

5th 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-13 over hurdles but gave good account of herself when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; effectively 2lb lower here and Benjamin Macey claims 5lb; no suprise if she goes well again. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has made the frame in handicaps from 2m to 2m5f; probably failed to stay nearly 3m last time and her previous run at Fakenham wasn't too shoddy; 2lb out of the weights but could play some role here. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
The winner of two 2m1f novice events here (good to soft/good) last summer; however, she dropped out very tamely in a 3m1f handicap here on Saturday. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Dual 2m1f novice winner here last summer (good to soft and good); well below that level twice after, albeit once in Listed company; effectiveness beyond 2m3f has yet to be tested. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in her first two handicaps (2m6f/2m7f) and competes from 3lb out the weights here; needs combination of first-time cheekpieces and switch to slow ground to enable huge improvement. |
14/1 |

8th 10 |
14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Glimmers of promise in novices (2m-2m3f) and reportedly resented the fast ground when tailed off on handicap debut (2m6f); only 11-1 for that and could be given another chance. |
16/1 |

4 |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Unexposed 5yo; showed only minor promise in her three qualifying runs but combination of new trip and first-time tongue-tie may enable improvement on this handicap debut. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made all for clearcut success at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December, her sixth start over hurdles, and again ran well before fading into fourth at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) ten days ago; likely contender. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up on the Flat and over hurdles in the autumn (including on soft ground) before getting off the mark at the 19th attempt (her sixth run over hurdles) at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last month; made all by 4l under Aaron Anderson and she's respected up 7lb. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest 2-34 career strike-rate and needs to rebound from a poor run here in December but her C&D second two starts ago was a good effort and she has obvious claims if judged on that performance. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
AW winner last September and in March (1m2f); a straggler over hurdles, hence the rock-bottom mark (and 4lb wrong today) but she's willing on the Flat and she might well fare much better now handicapping. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Joined Ben Haslam after finishing third in slow-ground Irish point in March; struggled to get competitive here (2m1f, good) on rules debut in May but combination of much stiffer stamina test and first-time tongue-tie may enable improvement today. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 |
26th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish pointer, better effort when third in a mares' maiden in March (3m, yielding to soft); worth a market check on hurdles debut. |
11/1 |
