14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Below best when beaten 1-3 favourite in Wincanton Listed race in February but the ground was heavy there and she's better judged on her game win in valuable Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) two starts ago; also suited by good ground; high on the list. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 |
14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner, who made it 2-4 over fences with a brave win a Class 2 handicap at Windsor (2m4f, soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; sets the standard on that form and she's open to more progress on this drop back in trip; strong contender. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Front-running mare; won at Kempton (2m2f, good) on chase debut and not disgraced in two subsequent starts, latest when almost 5l behind Hollygrove Cha Cha at Exeter (2m1f, heavy); has had wind surgery since and now gets a 6lb pull with that rival; bred to be as effective back over 2m4f; in the mix. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 21212 since joining Olly Murphy; edged out by a next-time-out winner (pair 19l clear) at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) last time and still looks well treated after a 3lb nudge. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 2121 since joining Olly Murphy and she kept on well to beat a clear second at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month; this is a different test at this new trip but she has quite a bit of stamina in pedigree and still looks on a workable mark; respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive since joining this yard, winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in December before close second in warm mares' handicap at Windsor (2m4f, soft); drops back down in grade today and could play a leading role. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Has rather mixed record over fences this season but belied 40-1 odds when close third in valuable Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) won by Bluey in January and last month's Cheltenham Festival defeat is easily excused; on good mark if on her mettle. |
9/1 |
|
7th 5 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who has shown some promise over fences this season but she was only fourth of six in a Listed mares' chase at Huntingdon last month and has bundles to find in today's company. |
100/1 |
|
4th 2 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Five wins over hurdles; 0-4 since switched to fences but ran well off a handy mark in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) most recently; however, at the weights she has about a stone to find with the pick on ratings in this field. |

11st 6lb |
Four wins (2m/2m5f) over hurdles, the last one off 2lb higher; 0-8 since switched to fences but ran well at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) most recently, pulling clear of the third; fighting chance. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Didn't run badly when fourth of nine at Windsor (2m4f, soft) last month and she continues to edge down the weights; however, she needs something extra today's if she's to break her chasing duck at the eighth attempt. |
11/1 |
|
4th 5 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has slipped to 2lb below last winning hurdles mark but seems far from certain to take advantage, being a fairly exposed mare who has failed to show her form in two starts this season, taking chase record to 0-6; faces some progressive opponents. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won Grade 2 novice hurdle at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last February and scored at Exeter (2m1f, heavy) in December on second chase start; reverted to hurdles with all-the-way Listed win at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) last month; also effective on good/good to soft; half-sister to a 2m7f winner and there's every chance she'll stay this far; leading claims if seeing it out. |
15/8 |
|
1st 2 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Grade 2 winner as a novice but is held by Jubilee Alpha on last season's clashes with that mare; this campaign started very promisingly over fences and was let down by her jumping when below par last time at Windsor; can't afford to be at all off her game on this return to hurdling if she's to scare Jubilee Alpha. |
3/1 |
|
5th 2 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive mare whose overall record is 6-9; beat Bluey by nearly 5l, admittedly in receipt of 6lb, at Exeter (2m1f, heavy; jumped left; second chase attempt) most recently; form over 2m4f features a Grade 2 hurdle win (soft); respected on handicap debut, the way she's going. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good over fences at sixth attempt, with 3m success here (heavy) in January, and ran as well as could have been expected when fourth of five in Wincanton Listed race (1m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; still on a good mark; good chance. |
15/8 |

4th 2 |
14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point/bumper winner, who made the breakthrough over fences at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) two weeks ago but that was a minor handicap and she has lots to find back at 2m in this Listed race. |
20/1 |
|
1st 5 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Commenced her career with point/bumper wins; 0-17 since (0-5 in chases) but has a largely consistent record at Ffos Las and looks a solid contender in that respect; on a reduced mark and drops back in grade. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Needs to rebound from a disappointing run in January but returned from long absence with emphatic success at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; remains lightly raced and is a big player if back on song for this first attempt at about 3m under rules. |
11/2 |
|
7th 4 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Good second in sole start last term (chase debut) and comfortably beat the only other finisher at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) on reappearance, taking overall record to 4-10; has generally progressive RPRs throughout her career and may well continue on the up; major contender. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made encouraging seasonal debut over 2m4f in November but has been well beaten over that trip three times since; she's suited by good ground and can outclass this field if back on song but is unraced beyond about 2m5f and arrives with a fair bit to prove. |
13/2 |

5th 2 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Dual chase winner in December 2024 and fairly consistent since, but she has struggled back up in class on last two starts, albeit they were some tough assignments; should appreciate this ease in class and she's capable of making her presence felt. |
4/1 |
|
8th 8 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Struggled in similar event at Cheltenham last time, ending a reasonably consistent spell of form; faces another difficult assignment and may need a return to calmer waters; gained her only wins in Class 4 and Class 5 in December 2024. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won twice over fences, both over 2m4f; fair third in a mares' handicap at Ludlow last time (2m4f, soft); could go well but perhaps better at shorter. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
10yo whose losing sequence is up to 13 after disappointing run at Windsor (2m4f, soft) latest; however, she was runner-up on final two outings in 2025 (2m4f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and might not be far away if back on song. |
