4th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Failed to convince as a chaser in two attempts at last season; subsequently won over hurdles (2m3f, soft) but her form dipped afterwards; took step back in right direction when well-held second in four-runner hurdle last month (3m2f, good to firm) but needs another on this return to fences. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Seemingly back in good nick when winning readily at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in February but ended last season with two lesser efforts (3m/2m7f) and has questions to answer again over this new trip. |
4/1 |

11st 13lb |
Chasing didn't go to plan before she won readily when back over hurdles at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in February; ran badly, however, at Ludlow (3m but not because of the trip) three weeks later; ran respectably at 3m on final start last term. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who returned from long absence with narrow win at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) in December but was never dangerous in her follow-up bid at Windsor (fourth of eighth) last month; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more to defy this mark. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 |
7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Didn't take to fences on first two starts this season; 2-4 over hurdles last campaign, latterly with a 3m win here on handicap debut, and not discredited on return to hurdling four weeks ago considering that was over only 2m; needs a second look. |
12/1 |

9th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Hasn't taken to fences this season but she was 2-4 over hurdles last campaign and she's only 3lb higher than for the handicap success; on the downside, she has something to prove on ground this soft and all her form is at 2m4f+. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Wetherby maiden winner who has been beaten in her other four races over hurdles; she doesn't have the form or the profile for this. |
100/1 |

3rd 3 |
5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made it fourth time lucky over hurdles with a comfortable win in big-field maiden at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; 11-10 favourite) on Boxing Day; that form has been boosted by the runner-up recently and this unexposed mare is 4lb well in on this handicap debut; interesting contender. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in bumpers last season and made good start to hurdling career when clear second to odds-on favourite over C&D (good) last month; might have won that race with better jumps at the final two flights and looks very much the one to beat today. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish mare who is 0-11 under rules and has been beaten about 15l in her two handicaps; unwise to rate her subsequent placed form in maidens as improvement; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |
13/2 |

3rd 5 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Is 0-10 under rules; tongue tied when a creditable second of 12 in 2m Ludlow novice last month; cheekpieces are added now and she holds good form claims. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to score in eight attempts over hurdles but she's been placed five times, in Ireland and for David Pipe, and her third of 13 at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) was a solid effort in January; hasn't quite matched that in two subsequent starts but didn't stay 3m last time and now drops back down in trip in a modest event; tongue-tie added and she holds obvious claims. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Pulled up on three of her four starts since returning from a mammoth absence this season, and has a lot to prove on first venture beyond 2m6f under rules. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Won a maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott in 2022 but steadily on the decline ever since; no worthwhile form for current yard. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 10yo who won a maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott in 2022; however, following a mammoth absence she's been pulled up/well beaten on her two outings this winter; others have less to prove. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made the frame in two Irish points in 2024 and won good-ground maiden hurdle later that year; returned from long absence with two disappointing handicap hurdle runs this year (2m3f/2m; last of six both times), though, and is tricky to weigh up for this chasing debut. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Tailed off at 14-1 on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last month when back from a long absence, and she has to prove how much ability she retains; however, she may have needed that latest run and it's too soon to write off this very lightly raced, good-ground novice hurdle winner. |
12/1 |

6th 4 |
5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bought for £30,000 after making the frame in two Irish points; well held in sole bumper but she won on hurdling debut at Worcester (2m, good) in August 2024; has been on the sidelines since but she now goes handicapping at this new trip and needs watching in market on her comeback. |
