25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has proved to be a revelation since being fitted with a tongue-tie, winning her last seven races and remains unbeaten in four runs over fences; there is not knowing when this winning streak will come to an end but she still looks to be ahead of the handicapper and the one to beat once more. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Effectively runs off 3lb lower here than when last week's chase success in a Newton Abbot match (2m, good) completed her six-timer inside 15 days; unraced right-handed so far during her winning streak, but no real reason why that or the return to hurdling should present a problem; 10lb well in. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained a first win over 2m here in March and has continued in good form, runner-up in 2m4f Ffos Las handicap four weeks ago; that form has been well advertised since so he must enter calculations despite 2lb rise. |

2nd 5 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Rain welcomed as the ground was soft when making all at Southwell in March (2m) but beaten 11l and 23l in his subsequent races in new cheekpieces; dropped 3lb for those, so only 4lb above his win; wouldn't be a certain stayer over this far. |

3rd 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made all for a 2m hurdle win (soft) under Tom Broughton at Southwell on his penultimate start; up 7lb when weakening out of it at Chepstow (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces); drops 1lb; goes back up in trip with more needed. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

0-12 under rules; poor final run for Fergal O'Brien and produced another when last to finish on yard debut at Stratford. |
25/1 |

4th 4 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-10 over hurdles; two of this year's six runs for Fergal O'Brien offered significant hope but she was soundly beaten on her latest outing; now back in the care of Barry Brennan; others have much less to prove. |
12/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Ever more temptingly handicapped, and still doing some okay late work behind the uncontainable Beorma over Southwell's 2m4f last time; previous tribulations in two Cornish points and one other staying hurdle temper enthusiasm ahead of this step back up in trip, however. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Runner-up in an Irish point but only modest form shown in this sphere, finishing fourth of eight in 2m7f handicap at Uttoxeter last month; needs to build on it. |
25/1 |
|
4th 12 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has failed to show any notable form in four runs over hurdles, handicap debut on latest; takes a big step up in trip but hard to fancy. |

6th 6 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Finished second in an Irish Point in May 2023, but has failed to show any notable form in three runs over hurdles, most recently finishing tailed off at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) in January; makes handicap debut. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-10 over hurdles but won a small-field point in the spring and bettered her low-key rules return when rallying second at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; no surprise if she features. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Third in a handicap hurdle here in May 2025; however, well beaten in two other handicaps on either side of a brief but successful stint in points; it's hard to make a compelling case but Sean Bowen has been booked. |
5/1 |

5th 4 |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-10 and came in a remote fourth of five in 2m2f handicap hurdle at Exeter in October; in winning form in points last month though so she's not totally out of things. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Well held in a trio of bumpers for Sandy Thomson and she fared little better in four hurdling runs for Paul Robson; starts out for another new yard here with lots to prove. |

6th 11 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
No positives in novice/maiden contests (2m-2m5f) when beaten 25l, 49l, and 78l; this stablemate of Moonlight Trail needs to take major step forward for switch to handicapping; best to focus elsewhere. |
66/1 |
|
6th 8 |
18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Poor in three bumpers (turf and AW) for Sandy Thomson; embarks on hurdles career - dam was a point winner - for a new trainer; impossible to consider on all available evidence. |
33/1 |
