24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Has improved for good ground in winning her last two races (2m3f/2m5f), both with plenty in hand; raised 10lb for last time but she's only raced 13 times and is clearly on the upgrade. |
11/4 |

1st 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Would have found conditions too soft when seventh behind Pretending at Market Rasen and she then justified market confidence with a narrow win at Bangor (2m3f, good); she travelled much the best in that race but the handicapper went with an 11lb rise and that asks major questions in this loftier grade. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Both her novice wins came on good ground and she'll appreciate a return to such conditions after running fairly well on soft last time at Market Rasen (2m4f); considered off her lowest mark in a handicap. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Well served by sharp left-handed tracks and good ground, winning at Stratford (2m maiden) and Sedgefield (2m5f handicap) last year; impression given when second at Warwick latest (2m5f) was that she'll stay further and that is partly backed up by pedigree. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 11 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden winner who made a successful handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) but hasn't advanced her form from there; however, soft ground perhaps not ideal the last time and this 6yo is bred to improve with her racing. |
20/1 |

3rd 2 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
2-5 over hurdles, the latter win gained on seasonal/handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in November; not seen since lesser effort later than month and not yet tested on ground slower than good to soft but may still have potential. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |

Picked up two handicaps in the autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good) but her progress has rather stalled since then and looks on a hard mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Kicked off current campaign with two handicap wins in a row in the autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good); her progress has stalled at Doncaster (3m, good/soft) on her last two starts and, while she may still have more to offer when returning to a right-handed track, she's once more going left-handed today. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
4-9 over hurdles, posting a personal best when getting up late on at Ascot (2m7f, good; handles soft) in November; however, she didn't jump with much fluency when a well-held third over C&D last month and she faces an even stiffer task moving out of handicaps; cheekpieces are fitted. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |

Has only won a Worcester novice and failed in six handicaps off lower marks, though was runner-up in four of those; clearly has nothing up her sleeve mark-wise but should still run well. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |

Won Worcester novice (good) last May; contested handicaps in her five starts since, twice a flop but runner-up in the other three, including when upped to 3m at Haydock (good to soft) on latest outing; considered each-way. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Last season started well but petered out and it might be happening again, as although it wasn't a bad run behind Cheltenham Festival heroine White Noise two starts back, Chepstow last time was underwhelming (well behind Siog Geal; soft ground no excuse). |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Narrowly made a successful reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) off 5lb lower; worrying that last season petered out after starting well, though it was by no means a bad run at Newbury when 11l behind White Noise who won the Dawn Run at Cheltenham on Thursday; goes well fresh. |
6/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden hurdle on last season's return before delivering her best form yet when second in Newbury Listed race (2m, good to soft); her three runs after the turn of the year were disappointing, leaving her with a point to prove now. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year (at Cheltenham) off today's mark; turned her back on chasing this winter and ran quite well over 3m at Kempton before finding soft ground too testing at Ludlow; plenty looks in her favour this time with cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |

5th 1 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to hurdling with respectable sixth at Kempton (3m, good) just after Christmas and is now only 2lb higher than when winning valuable final of this series at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last April but the ground here will probably be slower than she prefers. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Career-best form to end last season, winning at Chepstow before collecting a mares' final at Cheltenham (both about 2m4f on good); ran respectably on return to hurdling three weeks ago but she was below form in February on her only attempt over this far; chase debut. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
First and second in her two previous visits here, latterly over this far in first-time cheekpieces in November; below best in her last two races (3m/2m4f) and appears to have little margin for error off this mark; absent since January. |
12/1 |

4th 5 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time cheekpieces when clear second at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in November and ran well for a long way before fading into fifth at Kempton (3m, good) just after Christmas; this drop back in trip looks the right move; probably won't be far away. |

Third to Greyval 12 months ago off the same mark; hadn't been at her best this season but came good at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) and clearly capable of having some say in the outcome. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |

Looked a bit unlucky not to win at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, good to soft) but wouldn't be certain to run as well again given her inconsistency; 5lb above the only mark she's defied in a handicap and a 7lb claimer was employed last time. |

2nd 1 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in November but has mixed record in three subsequent runs and was tailed off at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) last month; still has low mileage but she's been hard to predict and needs to bounce back again. |
5/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in November and put a poor run behind her when fourth of 17 at Newbury (3m, good to soft) month, where a last-flight jumping error cost her momentum; suited by soft ground (unraced on heavy) and still unexposed at around 3m. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |

Point winner; the Ludlow third in December (2m5f novice; good to soft) offers some hope off this mark but lesser runs have followed, including her handicap debut when a 25-1 chance; cheekpieces added. |

6th 9 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |

Point winner who is lightly raced under rules and this is her handicap debut; has run well enough on her last two starts to merit attention off this sort of mark. |
