14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Opened chasing account at second attempt, with Listed success at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February, and was creditable second in Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) later that month; still has potential over fences; respected on handicap return. |

2nd 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Added to point, bumper and hurdles wins when battling on gamely in mares' Listed chase at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) 16 days ago; that was a career best and she may not have reached her ceiling just yet; faces a sterner assignment against male rivals but impossible to discount. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point/bumper/hurdles winner who is looking for the full set; ran well in novice handicap at Kempton (2m4f) on Boxing Day when making chase/seasonal debut; upped in class but is an interesting contender, being open to further improvement. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner who left her first two rules runs miles behind when 25-1 Listed runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) last month on her chase debut and first outing since 2024; very unexposed but today's assignment demands another massive chunk of improvement. |

2nd 4 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Form comprises a success in Irish point, third-place finish in bumper and modest sixth in novice hurdle; absent for over a year and returns with tongue-tie fitted; should make a chaser but this looks a difficult starting point. |
40/1 |

6th 24 |
27th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
10st 7lb
|
Made all in heavy-ground Irish point in debut in October 2023 and came from off the pace for third in soft-ground Wetherby bumper in February; should have a future over hurdles but has fitness to prove here and others have more pressing claims; hood removed after one use. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
9yo who has been progressive during this first chasing campaign, winning twice (2m/2m4f, soft/good to soft); she's open to further improvement but it's necessary now back up in grade, and she needs to prove her stamina; soundly beaten over hurdles on sole previous run in these cheekpieces. |
16/1 |

1st 2 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Has taken well to fences this term, a ready win at Ayr (about 2m, soft) in November preceding solid fourth of 15 in competitive 2m4f Cheltenham handicap (good to soft) the following month; creditable third in mares' Listed company last time and every chase she can notch a second win over fences, particularly if putting her jumping to good use. |

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. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Better than ever for current yard, gaining two Listed wins on right-handed tracks (good to soft); jumped that way at times when held at left-handed Doncaster in hat-trick attempt; clear on ratings and the return to a clockwise course is ideal. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
All her improvement for Willie Mullins came over longer trips and she very nearly won last season's Killarney National over 3m2f; however, after two respectable Flat runs for this yard, she returned to jumps with a near miss over a similar trip to today's in Chepstow's always-competitive Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle; clearly retains significant ability. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Three chase wins at 2m1f and 2m3f (all on good), the latest in October, but she hasn't lived up to that form since and was a long way behind Califet En Vol over C&D recently; needs revival. |
33/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Has done all her winning on good ground so any rain would be a negative, which counted against her in a Listed chase for mares last time; on a tempting mark with Harry Atkins taking off 7lb if she was on her game (wasn't the case the time before at Ascot). |
20/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful handicap chaser who scored three times last year, most recently at Kelso in October; always behind at Ascot latest start; place possibilities on these terms but ideally needs drying ground, having done her winning on good. |
