19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
2-2 under Jack Hogan since returning from a seven-month break, keeping on well for Warwick (3m1f) and Fontwell (3m2f) good-ground successes; latest 6lb rise demands more, but she's progressing at a similar rate. |
13/2 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Kept on well to score at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2-7 over hurdles; that looked a modest race and she's 6lb higher here but at least we know she's in good nick. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

40-1 when making a successful handicap debut last summer and probably better again when beaten 2l at Plumpton the final time (3m1f, good); off since September which is a slight concern, but this race has no depth. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close in 16-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July, her second run since returning to racing under rules; below that form when well-held fourth over C&D since but has cheekpieces refitted today; can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Made low-key return to racing under rules in June but last month's close second of 16 behind Cinderello in refitted cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was a good effort; goes without cheekpieces here but still features prominently in calculations. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 10 |
16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Runner-up in four consecutive points this year; made low-key rules return/stable debut three weeks ago (2m4f) but will be suited by today's move back up in trip, and the refitted cheekpieces may also aid her cause. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Just 1-16 over hurdles when trained by Evan Williams and was unable to justify odds-on favouritism when only sixth of 12 here (2m5f, good) on last month's stable debut; may yet come good for Harry Derham, though, and this move back up in trip will suit; wears refitted tongue-tie; gained her win on good to firm but has form on good to soft; 3lb wrong. |
6/1 |
|
6th 12 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
3m hurdle winner last April in first-time cheekpieces, that her only win in 16 attempts, though often placed; given wind surgery after finishing a distant third at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) in October on final start for Evan Williams; back in trip following a break and worth considering for stable going well. |

Fairly treated on hurdle form and seems to need good ground, on which she was well beaten on chase debut two months ago; could be wiser for that experience but she was a remote last. |
9/4 |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |

Got off the mark over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) in August and not discredited after three months off when a fading fourth of nine in 2m6f handicap here 19 days ago; much respected on her chase debut. |

11st 10lb |
Had two of these behind (including Passengerontheship, one of three next-time winners in the race) when second over C&D in early May (good); easy Kelso success since was the form equal of that effort, if too full of early errors for maximum comfort; career-high mark now. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Winning Irish pointer; yet to score under rules but she is proving reliable and comes here after a good second of 13 in 3m handicap chase at Hexham 22 days ago; very much one to consider off an unchanged mark. |

10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden but bang there in two 2m5f handicaps at Fontwell (good to soft; in cheekpieces) before struggling there last time on heavy (first-time visor); can be given another chance; 2lb wrong but a 3lb claimer takes over. |
16/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-15 over hurdles but was creditable second at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in March and caught the eye making headway from the rear on consecutive 2m7f starts in June/July; 1lb wrong here but could have a say. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
In-form 10yo who won over hurdles here (2m4f, soft) in November and over fences at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) last month; 6lb rise has now kicked in but she ran another solid race at Huntingdon last week and she remains well treated on old form; should go well again back over fences. |
7/2 |

4th 6 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
In-form 10yo; successful in two of her last three starts, latest at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) when returned to fences last week; stays 3m1f and has a leading chance off same mark; due to go up 6lb in future. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Bits of low-level form for Chris Grant and she managed third of eight in a maiden at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) 15 days ago on debut for new yard, albeit 29l behind the runner-up; tried cheekpieces/visor on last two starts; not entirely dismissed in this weak handicap. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Did not make the frame in seven starts under rules for Chris Grant; first-time cheekpieces saw no improvement when eighth of 12 finishers at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month and subsequently sold for £1,000; first-time visor is now applied on stable debut but she is hard to fancy. |
50/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Unexposed after only five hurdling starts and ran well for a long way when fifth (behind Killybegs Jet Lady) at Cartmel (2m6f, soft) last month; not out of this if combination of better ground and new cheekpieces helps. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
