17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won three C&D handicaps last year, including the corresponding race (ridden by Becky Smith) off today's mark; comes here on the back of a hat-trick of hurdle wins this summer; high on the list. |
3/1 |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Fair Flat-racer who returned to hurdling with two fast-ground course wins (2m/2m2f) this season; drew nicely clear on run-in on latter occasion and commands respect in current mood. |
6/4 |

1st 8 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Five-time Flat winner (1m4f); justified strong market support when opening hurdles account here (2m, good to firm) in May, under Sean Bowen and shaping as though this longer trip would suit; up 6lb but remains capable of better after just eight starts in this sphere; leading contender. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Turned things around when scoring at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in April and she followed up under a penalty Taunton (2m, good); came up a bit short in hat-trick bid over C&D (good to firm) last month but that was another good effort and she still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Relished the drop in trip and front-running tactics when getting off the mark in this sphere at Wincanton (1m7f, good; 25-1) last month; showed that was no fluke when following up at Taunton (2m, good) ten days later; 8lb higher here but this track should play to her strengths and looks the one to beat. |
4/5 |
|
1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Showed little in three runs at around 2m4f this season before finally opening her account over hurdles at the 12th attempt, when a switch to front-running tactics and a drop in trip at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago brought about the decisive breakthrough; subsequent penalty may not be enough to prevent another bold showing if she can replicate the effort. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Six-race maiden over hurdles and 0-19 overall; hasn't shown enough in recent starts under either code to suggest a breakthrough is imminent, and finished tailed off over 2m4f at Worcester four days ago; goes up in trip with stamina to prove. |
14/1 |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles (0-5); ran poorly on the Flat last time (second-time visor) but very effective in cheekpieces and she has the form to feature off this mark. |
20/1 |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles; not wholly disgraced at Bath (1m6f) last week when returned to this sphere but finished only a modest third of five and best form remains on AW. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has shown little in four hurdle starts, including on handicap debut when pulled up at Warwick (2m5f, good) 26 days ago; sports first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and they need to have an impact. |
25/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |

Won a bumper for Rae Guest but has no form claims on what she's achieved over hurdles, including three handicaps at Fakenham; first-time blinkers are now applied along with hood. |

Juvenile bumper winner for previous stable, but has struggled over hurdles and beaten 21l+ in three starts, latterly in a hood (retained); makes handicap debut aided by Jamie Gambin's 10lb claim, but has plenty to prove and others make more obvious appeal. |
