27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
The winner of two 2m1f novice events here (good to soft/good) last summer; however, she dropped out very tamely in a 3m1f handicap here on Saturday. |

Dual 2m1f novice winner here last summer (good to soft and good); well below that level twice after, albeit once in Listed company; effectiveness beyond 2m3f has yet to be tested. |

10st 6lb |
She's thrived this season and made it 3-5 for the yard (wins at 1m7f-2m1f on good to soft/heavy) when winning big-field mares' novice handicap at Kelso four weeks ago; from out of the handicap she's 12lb higher today back against males but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Two wins (1m7f/2m, good to soft/heavy) from her first three starts for this yard and perhaps her latest run at Newbury three weeks ago came too soon, just six days after she won at Fontwell; not discounted. |
12/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-Irish mare who is 2-3 for new stable, most recently scoring in a canter at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) last Sunday; open to further progress and looks well in under a 7lb penalty; commands respect. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Uttoxeter bumper winner in October (2m1f, good to soft); improved for the step up to 2m5f when runner-up in mares' maiden at Newton Abbot (good; long way clear of the rest) on second hurdle run last month; contender. |
5/2 |

2nd 6 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fair bumper winner who was always out the back when switched to hurdles and beaten 29l at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month; pedigree suggests she'll be well suited by this step up in distance and is one to take seriously. |
5/1 |

8th 8 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Minor late gains in a Listed bumper latest; nature of preceding Uttoxeter win (good to soft) marked her out as one for further than 2m over hurdles, an impression backed up by pedigree, so may find this a tad sharp. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Raced twice in bumpers two seasons ago, managing a third on Ascot debut; went off 20-1 for her hurdling introduction after an absence at Fontwell (2m1f, soft) and was beaten 20l; could be considerably sharper here. |
16/1 |

18th Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Half-sister to high-class bumper and 2m-4m hurdle/chase winner Rathvinden; kept on to be beaten 4l by Anno Power at Ascot (good to soft) where a steady pace wouldn't have helped; looks a nice prospect and can improve. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Took a step forward in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) when third at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago on her handicap hurdle debut; finished third in her sole point and her dam was a useful chaser, so this very lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer now switched to fences. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
It's been a struggle in novice races but she now goes into a handicap with a tongue-tie fitted and over a much longer trip that could benefit according to her pedigree; would merit greater attention if at all strong in the betting. |
5/1 |
Verdict
Queenie St Clair is an obvious candidate after winning a handicap on her stable debut but bumper winner KAYDENCE should have the greater potential. Midnight Venture was second in a bumper and she’s bred to love the mud.[Alistair Jones]
