22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Made a nice debut to be third in a Uttoxeter bumper (good to soft) and the ground was heavy next time; could be a factor. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Half-sister to smart jumpers Easter Legend and Easter Meteor; the yard's apparent second string at Uttoxeter (good to soft) but finished in front of her stablemate, coming off the pace to be beaten three and a half lengths; that form gives her every chance and she should improve. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Beaten about 11l in a good-ground bumper at Fontwell and was never closer than that; open to improvement over hurdles. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
First foal; dam bumper winner, sister to fair hurdler Touchy Feely, closely related to stable's useful bumper/jumps winner Sure Touch; trainer does well in bumpers (20% strike-rate); appealing on paper. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Scored over hurdles here (2m6f, good) in April in first-time tongue-tie (retained since); didn't get home when pulled up on chase debut here (3m2f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in June; may be worth another chance back down in trip. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage mare who won over hurdles here (2m5f, good) in April; managed only fourth over 2m7f at Bangor last month but sports first-time cheekpieces today and Paul Nicholls is evidently keen to move her up in trip again and switch her to fences. |
7/2 |

4th 2 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt over hurdles when keeping on well for a 16-1 win at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) last month; up 5lb but she responded well to a tongue-tie last time and is open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |

Third foal; half-sister to point winner Sparkling Bird; dam well held in bumpers/2m4f hurdle, half-sister to smart winners Royal Regatta (bumper and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase) and Three Musketeers (2m4f-2m5f hurdle/chase); had wind surgery; watch out for any confidence behind her. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Tongue tied for her last three starts and it's made a difference; after her defeat at Warwick (2m3f, heavy) she didn't look an obvious candidate for the Grade 2 over 2m1f at the Cheltenham Festival (good), but in the van throughout she dug deepest when it mattered to spring a 40-1 surprise; there was no fluke about it and the third has since finished runner-up in a Grade 1; carries a penalty back at Listed level. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Tongue tied for her last two starts; her winning spree ended when narrowly foiled by Kingston Queen in a Grade 2 at Warwick last month (2m3f, heavy) and she probably needs that trip or even further ideally. |
33/1 |

2nd 9 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Progressive mare who won Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) by 5l just after Christmas and is now 3-3 over hurdles this season; has good chance at the weights on this return to novice company, assuming she copes well with the slower ground. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won a bumper in spring 2025 but has made a disappointing start to her jumping career; all three handicap runs were over fences, with two non-completions sandwiching a 33l defeat; reverts to hurdling with quite a bit to prove. |
14/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper winner; still unexposed after only six runs but fell on chase/handicap debut in April and was about 27l behind Auntie Maggie when fourth of five over C&D (good) three weeks ago; needs new tongue-tie to enable improvement. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a bumper but beaten between 23l and 46l over hurdles (2m); 28-1 for last month's chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) where she was still in touch when falling five out; there was still a long way to go but this looks an even weaker race. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Lowly rated maiden on the Flat for Harry Eustace; makes stable/hurdle debut after 444-day absence; can only be watched. |

No improvement since switched to handicaps this year; dropping down the weights but others look safer. |

First foal out of a 2m3f/2m4f hurdle winner; wouldn't be the obvious answer to this. |
