1st 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Triple winner at up to 2m4f (soft and good); inconsistency tempers confidence in her backing up last month's Perth near-miss (2m4f, good; first-time visor retained), but has staying potential on breeding. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Ayr winner in November (2m3f, soft); some fair form in lower grade events than this since; visor replaces normal cheekpieces. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily but won in good style here (2m3f, soft) in November and has been placed on two of her subsequent four appearances; can make presence felt if in right mood. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Two good runs on first two starts for Nicky Richards, including Carlisle win off 9lb lower in December (2m3f, soft); had stiff task last time; back down in grade; chance. |
3/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Won handicap at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December on stable debut and went close at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January; could continue to progress for this yard but has plenty to find in today's company. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Following a break and a change of stables she returned to form with a win at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last month; that form reads well and she could have more to offer for this stable; major player up 7lb. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won four on the trot at about 2m4f in 2024, culminating in a Grade 2 novice; hasn't recaptured that form since returning from an absence and she's in another competitive race here. |
13/2 |
|
12th 14 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Won four on the trot in July-October 2024 at about 2m4f, culminating in a Grade 2 novice event; long absence before three runs this year, easily best of those last time and that display gave some encouragement for this longer trip, but jumping was sketchy and cheekpieces are now applied. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Uttoxeter mares' novice winner last May (2m4f, good); placed in two similar races late last year but pulled up on handicap debut in a hot race at Newbury last month; this easier; worth considering. |
9/2 |
|
8 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Made a winning hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last May and put reappearance behind her when chasing home Indannya at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; more to offer on this handicap debut. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won a 2m maiden hurdle here on soft last October; mainly creditable efforts since, including when third in mares' handicap at Musselburgh last time (2m4f, good to soft; fourth has won since); chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Up and down in novice hurdles and tailed off last time; however, she was a winner at 125-1 at Perth (2m, soft) in October and ran well in third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago; she might not be far away on this handicap debut if she's back on song. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
125-1 win in maiden hurdle at Perth (2m, soft) in October; hasn't really kicked on since but ran okay when third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) last time and she's an each-way player today. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner last autumn (good/soft); ended last season with some disappointing efforts, though, and looked badly out of sorts on both Flat appearances this spring; leap of faith required to support her today. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 3m hurdles last autumn but has lost her way over jumps this year and was well beaten here (1m4f) when back on the Flat a fortnight ago, after a wind op; this longer trip ought to suit better but it still takes a leap of faith to support her. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on AW in her youth; three hurdle wins since joining this stable, the latest at Perth last October; not so good this spring and a wind op last month needs to turn things around. |
