Won a similar contest over C&D in January, but it's been hard going since then including twice at the same level; needs a turnaround. |

A glimmer of promise in two French hurdles and again when a 14l runner-up in a novice for mares at Fontwell; unexposed profile for handicaps and she's a 4yo filly getting the allowances. |

11st 0lb |
Just 1-17 over hurdles, the win gained at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last summer, but she made a satisfactory reappearance last month and her current mark is workable; considered each-way. |

Opened account at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) last July and runner-up in three of her four starts since, at up to 3m3f; on the premises on that evidence but the 163 days off ask a question. |

Runner-up twice at Stratford (3m2f/2m6f) since holding on well to open account at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July; evidently in good nick and won't mind if the ground softens; leading contender. |

Poor ex-Irish maiden, albeit a lightly raced one; showed a tad more on stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but not enough to be a strong fancy for this. |

0-9 over hurdles; not disgraced when fifth of 11 off his lowly handicap mark here (2m2f, good) last month but a minor role is probably his best hope on these terms. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ran well to finish a clear fourth in a Taunton handicap (2m, good) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up but he's not easy to predict and is still a maiden after 21 starts; cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden over hurdles who hasn't done enough to suggest he's about to shed his maiden tag, finishing 17.5l adrift of Little Lady Lucy at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last time; has a bit to find on the revised terms but not ruled out for minor honours. |

Typically for new recruits for this yard, he hit the ground running; however, he has struggled the last twice after surging up the weights; others appeal more. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Heavy defeat at Worcester last time was his first blip for this yard and reportedly unsuited by ground that was considered softer than the official good; won his previous two races and still on a competitive mark if back on song. |

Course regular who was mostly in good form last year and last month's reappearance run at Exeter looked too bad to be true; hard to dismiss, especially back here. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |

Two-time winner over a similar trip at Newton Abbot (both good); was competitive from this mark on his last two starts at that track (both 2m5f) and should be involved if straight enough after a six-month break. |
