18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
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. |

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. |

Two good runs on first two starts for Nicky Richards, including Carlisle win off 9lb lower in December (2m3f, soft); had stiff task last time; back down in grade; chance. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |

Won handicap at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December on stable debut and went close at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January; could continue to progress for this yard but has plenty to find in today's company. |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Following a break and a change of stables she returned to form with a win at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last month; that form reads well and she could have more to offer for this stable; major player up 7lb. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
No win since May 2023 but, following wind surgery, she's not been far away in two of her last three starts; the latest was her fifth of 14 to Gardener over C&D; place chance. |

On a long losing sequence and she was pulled up in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Newcastle 32 days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has won five of her 19 races over hurdles, the latest a four-runner mares' handicap for today's claimer at Newcastle in April (2m7f, good); up 4lb in a tougher race. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
On a losing sequence but she is holding her form well, third of seven in 3m3f Sedgefield handicap hurdle 23 days ago; a bold showing is on the cards off the same mark. |

3rd 4 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) last month and perhaps the race came too soon when fourth to Dillarchie at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) eight days later; probably okay on good ground; might not be far away. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Justified favouritism in 2m3f mares' handicap most recently, taking Wetherby record to 3121; faces a stiffer assignment in this field, back against males, but holds solid claims kept to this venue. |
12/1 |
|
1st 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
She could do with settling better but perhaps the heavy ground was too much at Newcastle last month; won C&D maiden (good to soft) in December 2024 and runner-up to handicap blot in C&D handicap (soft) in November; could bounce back and play a leading role now back here. |
100/30 |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
2m3f maiden hurdle winner who has shaped with promise in handicaps on both runs this season, most recently runner-up at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) behind a handicap blot; mark unchanged and she's a strong candidate. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Shaped well when a debut hurdling second at Hexham in October 2024 but very lightly raced since and has failed to build on it, beating only one on his handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f) in January; this winning pointer could still do better now going chasing though. |
10/1 |

6th 2 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Point winner (3m, heavy) who was runner-up on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in October 2024; underwhelming on both outings since (good to soft/good), most recently her stable debut 67 days ago, but she could be a contender if tapping back into her initial promise on this handicap debut. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Irish point winner; solid second, splitting subsequent scorers, in Hexham maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) six months ago in sole rules attempt; open to progress and respected. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well beaten in first two handicaps (2m4f, soft/heavy) but combination of better ground and first-time tongue-tie enabled significant improvement at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) last month, where she kept on too strongly for the odds-on favourite; further progress is possible. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 |
15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has struggled badly in three starts on soft/heavy since finishing third of 12 in a mares' maiden hurdle at Wetherby (1m4f, good) a year ago; could be interesting if the ground dries out with a tongue-tie given a go. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Signs of promise in a bumper and maiden hurdle; still early days but she was tailed off on handicap debut at Carlisle in November (2m4f, soft; 12-1) and needs to be an entirely different proposition this afternoon. |
25/1 |
