21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Marked improvement to win at Windsor in January in her third hurdle race; came from off the pace when fourth of nine at Market Rasen (again 2m, soft) and never got to grips with today's rivals Charisma Cat and Watamu, a result which leaves her with something to find but this is a different trip and her trainer is a dab hand at big handicap wins. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who showed significant improvement when getting off the mark over hurdles at Windsor (2m) last month on her first time on soft ground; there should be more to come now that she has got her head in front. |
4/1 |

1st 3 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Looked promising in bumpers last season (made the frame in a Listed race); just a respectable fourth on hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October but, under a much more positive ride, had the short-odds favourite out of his comfort zone before falling three out at Ascot (1m7f, good) in November; could still have significant potential. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in big-field Cheltenham bumper (good ground) last April and showed fair form when placed in two soft-ground novice hurdles at start of this year; ideally needs to learn to settle better but has strong claims. |
8/11 |

3rd 11 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Hooded from the outset; close up in a Cheltenham bumper and ran her best race yet over hurdles when chasing home a talented Skelton winner at Windsor (2m, soft); a repeat of that form might be good enough. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 4 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Hooded for all three starts; close fourth of 18 in good-ground Cheltenham bumper last April and displayed clear promise in two good-quality Newbury hurdles (2m, good to soft/soft) in November; needs to improve here and her tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but we probably haven't seen the best of her yet. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
1-7 over hurdles; held her own in two good-quality novice races at start of this year and wasn't disgraced in valuable series final at Kelso last month; in calmer waters here but her tendency to finish weakly is a worry. |
8/1 |

9th 4 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
One win from her six hurdle starts, which came at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; performed respectably in fifth in Grade 2 novice at Kempton (2m, good to soft) last month and she's not ruled out in her first handicap. |
16/1 |

5th 10 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Hooded last two starts, winning at Wetherby in November and a creditable third at Windsor (again 2m, soft) last month; will probably give her running again but Jack Andrews jumps ship in favour of Desertmore News and others probably have more potential. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner; no easy task in a maiden last time and has run well in a couple of handicaps; could have a part to play if reacting positively to the new tongue-tie. |
7/1 |

5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles and the worst of those runs was the latest in a handicap at Carlisle; gets all the allowances as a 4yo filly but others probably have greater upside even if she is back to something like her best. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner; 0-5 over hurdles but very consistent and every chance of being involved off a slightly reduced mark. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in February and, switched to handicaps, was only just denied back here in April (good); raised 4lb since that latest effort but remains open to progress and a leading contender, with a promising 5lb claimer booked. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hinted at minor ability before having wind surgery and the operation seemed to help as she forged clear of A Tickatickatiming on handicap debut over C&D (soft) in February; should make a go of it off 3lb higher. |
5/2 |

1st 3 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 0-5 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles with modest RPRs under this code, including over C&D, but she may take a step forward now handicapping on first start since wind surgery; behind Penn Avenue on latest effort. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Failed to score for Gavin Cromwell but she made it 2-3 for her current yard in 2m Hereford novice hurdle 57 days ago; this is tougher but she scored cosily there. |

1st 7 |
11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Promise in bumpers and all three hurdling starts in Ireland; kept on too strongly for 1-6 favourite, whose jumping let her down, when scoring on stable debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in late December; too early to tell how she would have fared when falling at Windsor last time but looks the part and is the sort to put that behind her. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Displayed significant promise in bumpers and on all three hurdling starts in Ireland, and kept on too strongly for 1-6 favourite when scoring on British debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; the value of that form is quite tricky to weigh up but, nevertheless, she's of strong interest here. |
