24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back. |

5th 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up. |

2nd 1 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-19 but placed over both hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); has been competitive from this mark on her last three starts and should be again. |
9/4 |

3rd 8 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden but was close up in her final handicap hurdle and ran okay in her first chase (2m2f, good), for all that she was no match for the clearcut winner; should have a role to play. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Beaten between 15l and 58l in seven starts for this yard, six of those handicap chases; the blinkers did nothing last time. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Best effort for current stable came when a well-held third at Taunton (2m2f, good) in March but her overall profile remains disappointing; the blinkers need to spark significant improvement. |
33/1 |

5th 4 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Not disgraced when third (well held in the end) at Taunton (2m2f, good) last month but generally disappointing for new stable this season and now 0-10 under rules. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f) in May; failed to stay 3m1f when fourth there subsequently but shaped encouragingly reverted to hurdles after seven months off when third in 2m2f Exeter handicap 18 days ago; merits serious consideration back in this sphere. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has switched to fences this term, winning in May but regressing in two summer starts; only 1-18 over hurdles and she has never won away from Newton Abbot. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Battled on from unlikely position to score by 8l here (2m5f, good) on chasing debut in May, an eventful race in which the clear leader fell two out, but it's wise to treat that piece of form with a degree of caution; only fourth of six at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last time; tries a new trip today. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Signs of a revival when fourth over fences at Fakenham (2m5f) in January, before 3m5f stretched her (refused at the final fence) on final start for Seamus Mullins; offered little when sent off joint-favourite on stable debut last month; tongue-tie wore then quickly dispensed with and she reverts to hurdles on a workable mark, but with plenty to prove. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has lost her way badly since her win/place form over fences last summer; cheekpieces tried last time are swiftly removed; couldn't trust. |
14/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
2m1f chase winner at Stratford a year ago but has largely struggled to reproduce that level, including after wind surgery; continues to ease in the weights and cheekpieces are enlisted, but others arrive with much more persuasive credentials. |
