1st 10 |
15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Has improved since undergoing wind surgery for her new trainer this year and went back-to-back at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) and Wincanton (3m1f, good); last run was too bad to be true but she did go up 7lb for that last win in a race that fell apart. |

3rd 1 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a bumper and over fences for Matt Crawley last season but has improved since undergoing wind surgery for her new trainer this year; appreciated the step up in trip when winning for the second time in succession at Wincanton (3m1f, good) 12 days ago; up 7lb but should be hard to beat. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Built upon a satisfactory stable debut when scoring by a neck at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) this month and is now 2-7 over fences; only 2lb higher here and will be suited by the faster ground; strong claims if stamina holds out over the new trip. |

7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed in valuable series final over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January but rest of last season's form was disappointing and it's hard to predict whether she'll be in the right mood for this return to hurdling; tried blinkers when pulled up last time; usual cheekpieces return. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Arrested her decline when placed in valuable final of this mares' series here (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in January; two lesser efforts have followed and she's unreliable nowadays but she could be too good for this field if perked up by a change of headgear. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Made all in this race on good ground a year ago and returned to some form with third in a valuable series final at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January; however, not so good when back at Fakenham last month and this regressive 10yo has become unreliable. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Blinkers are turned to after finishing tailed off a month ago and her previous thirds were no great advertisement for her prospects here; probably wants softer ground as well. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in a quite valuable Hereford mares' chase (3m1f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in December and also ran well when filling same position in Bangor marathon (3m5f, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the quicker ground here but still respected. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Third over 3m1f at Hereford last time (soft; first-time cheekpieces), making the frame in that handicap for the second successive season; consistent but perhaps doesn't win as often as she should (1-15 over fences and runner-up five times); unraced beyond about 3m1f. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
8lb higher than for last year's convincing win in this race which was staged at Cheltenham; only subsequent win in six races came at the expense of just three rivals at Ludlow in November (3m1f, good); lacklustre in her last three starts and hard to support with any confidence. |
20/1 |
|
4th 1 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
3-8 over fences, including a win in valuable series final at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) last April; lacklustre when pulled up (albeit on soft ground) on last two outings, though, and can't be supported with much confidence here. |
6/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-5 over fences with win here (3m1f, good) in November and good Listed second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) next time; perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December last time; could bounce back with a big run if conditions suit. |
