2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Good effort on sole bumper start (good to soft); all races on good ground since, faring best when not giving an inch in a tight finish to a Taunton handicap (2m) in December; looks sure to have a say. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up on hurdling debut at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in June but the form isn't anything to get too excited about and she was soundly beaten over C&D the following month; had wind op during 107-day break. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Runner-up off this mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June and she's of interest on that form but she's been well beaten on both starts since and a major turnaround is needed in a change of headgear. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

0-9 under rules; not a bad effort when runner-up on her chasing debut at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month but beaten 23l over C&D since; needs to show more. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Very modest hurdle form but she went chasing off a career-low mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June and took a healthy step forward, keeping on well against one in a good run of form; back up 2lb; can threaten. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Good-ground bumper winner; has missed the frame on only one occasion over hurdles, when highly tried at Kelso on handicap debut following wind surgery; better judged on latest Hereford second (2m, good) when back in maiden company; respected at this level against her own sex. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who has run well in defeat on two of her three hurdle starts, most recently runner-up at Catterick (1m7f, good) in December; has had wind op since; makes handicap debut off workable mark and she's the sole runner here today for her in-form southern trainer; interesting. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Three novice hurdle wins last season (various ground), including a Listed mares' event at Haydock in April when last seen (2m5f, good); she has a tough task against Kabral Du Mathan on this chase debut but there is every chance that this point winner will run well. |
14/1 |

1st 2 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Has just over 5l to find with White Noise on their Warwick clash in February (2m3f, heavy) but a 5lb pull with the winner can only help her cause and perhaps 3m on soft ground stretched her when a remote second at Doncaster (Listed); has to enter the reckoning. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
An improving mare who won two of her first three races over hurdles and wasn't disgraced at Warwick when raised into a Grade 2 (2m3f, heavy); unraced beyond an extended 2m4f under rules but she won a 3m point and there's stamina in her pedigree. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-10 over hurdles but was clear second to a next-time-out winner at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, after a break, and also ran well when fourth in higher-grade race won by very progressive rival there (2m4f, good) later that month; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain but, otherwise, has strong claims. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Yet to get her head in front but she returned from six months off with a very good second of ten in 2m handicap here 17 days ago; she's proven over this longer trip and well in the mix nudged up 2lb. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has been campaigned exclusively against her own sex; form dipped at the Cheltenham Festival but may well rebound, with her record solid and progressive otherwise; close second in Grade 2 races at this meeting last year (bumper) and Ascot in January; admittedly faces a stiffer task in this first attempt against males. |
20/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Had some of these behind when runner-up in the Grade 2 bumper for mares at Aintree last April; has taken her form to a higher level over hurdles, impressing in a Listed race at Newbury and not disgraced in defeat behind a talented older mare in a messy Grade 2 at Ascot (again on soft; has won on good); her form is roughly on a par with what You Wear It Well brought here when successful for the same yard three years ago; each-way claims. |
16/1 |

2nd 3 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Fine second in Grade 2 bumper at last season's Grand National meeting and has made a seamless transition to hurdling, winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) and Newbury (2m, soft); up in grade and taking on vastly more experienced rivals today, but she has plenty of class and may well be up to it. |

11st 9lb |
Placed in three of her four handicaps but was beaten about 19l when weakening third at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) in February and is not making any progress; hood left off here; stablemate Hidden Target appeals more. |

3rd 4 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Course bumper winner (soft) who was runner-up at Leicester (2m4f, soft) towards the end of last year in her first two handicaps; only sixth when upped in trip at Taunton (3m, good to soft) last month but she could better that latest run when back on soft ground, on which she's shown her best form. |

10st 3lb |
Won on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and improved again to follow up at Bangor (2m7f, soft); this is a tougher test of her credentials but she's clearly highly progressive for her top yard. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Defied market weakness to make a winning handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) and the runner-up had won the time before; her finishing effort that day would suggest that this trip should be within reach; raised 4lb. |
7/4 |
|
1st 4 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Third in sole bumper (2m, good to soft) and fifth/sixth on her three hurdle starts (2m/2m3f, good/good to soft), without seriously threatening; her pedigree suggests this trip will be a good fit and she's open to improvement for her top yard on handicap debut; one to be interested in. |

Not beaten far when 13th of 18 in bumper at Cheltenham (good) in April and shaped well when third (albeit well held in the end) over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) this month but others in this field look much stronger. |
