27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
In-form staying mare whose wins in December/February flanked second-place finishes; made the frame at Newbury most recently; may no longer be a step ahead of the assessor but still holds reasonably solid claims. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 since returned to hurdling in the autumn, the latter win gained in four-runner mares' race at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) a fortnight ago; evidently in very good nick but has quite a bit more on her plate here. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Couldn't get much going over fences but form figures of 122 since returned to hurdling at Class 4 level; up a grade here off a career-high mark, but this assured stayer has plenty in her favour otherwise. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
6yo who has been a major improver back over hurdles this season, winning three times (2m-2m5f, good-soft); having shot up the weights she again ran well when second of four at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in February, but she needs to prove her current mark isn't beyond her; 1lb wrong today. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Would surely have completed a hat-trick had she not unseated at Fakenham last month and strolled home by a wide margin at Hereford (2m3f, soft) next time; however, she went up 14lb for winning that uncompetitive race and her improvement has come at shorter distances (unproven beyond 2m5f). |

1st 2 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Improved form back over hurdles in the autumn, winning in good style at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and Ludlow (2m5f, good); looked set to complete the hat-trick at Fakenham (2m4f, good to soft) last Sunday but rider got unbalanced after the final flight and was unseated; turns out off same mark here and has leading claims if she can avoid any mishaps. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Front-runner who went close twice in a row at Kempton (3m, good) towards the end of last year following an absence; tailed off at Chepstow since on soft ground she should have handled; needs to bounce back, but not ruled out with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |

3rd 1 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
20lb higher than for her last win (gained on soft) after going up a collective 8lb for near misses over 3m on good at Kempton; however, has returned from a lengthy break in top form and another bold show looks on the cards. |
9/4 |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Unseated rider at the start at Chepstow two starts ago but she's run some good races this season, winning at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December and fourth of 15 at Windsor (3m, soft) in January; wears first-time cheekpieces and might not be far away. |
5/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Scored at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December and made the frame in good-quality contests at Cheltenham (3m, good) and Windsor (soft) last month; blotted her copybook when unseating rider at the start at Chepstow recently but still commands respect. |
3/1 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner on good to soft in December and has held her own in Class 2s since then, including a placed effort behind live Stayers' Hurdle contender Ma Shantou; likeable type and should have every chance. |
