10st 11lb |
Three wins as novice included a 2m4f Listed event here; advanced her RPR again when second in 2m5f Wincanton handicap (good; acts on soft) on return but hasn't quite managed to reproduce that level since, despite finishing runner-up in Listed races the last twice; drops back in trip for handicap debut. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 1 |

Three wins as a novice included two at Listed level, beating Hollygrove Cha Cha and La Pinsonniere in the process; weighted to confirm places with both those rivals and in this season's three defeats she's posted her best RPRs; should prove difficult to beat. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Below best when beaten 1-3 favourite in Wincanton Listed race in February but the ground was heavy there and she's better judged on her game win in valuable Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) two starts ago; also suited by good ground; high on the list. |

14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner, who made it 2-4 over fences with a brave win a Class 2 handicap at Windsor (2m4f, soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; sets the standard on that form and she's open to more progress on this drop back in trip; strong contender. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |

Front-running mare; won at Kempton (2m2f, good) on chase debut and not disgraced in two subsequent starts, latest when almost 5l behind Hollygrove Cha Cha at Exeter (2m1f, heavy); has had wind surgery since and now gets a 6lb pull with that rival; bred to be as effective back over 2m4f; in the mix. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 5lb |
British raider; dual Grade 3 bumper winner in France; won two of first four starts over hurdles for this yard but a bad mistake two out proved costly when pulled up on handicap debut at Kelso latest; could go well if puts in a clear round of jumping. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won two Grade 3 bumpers in France and she made it 2-5 in novice hurdles when scoring cosily at Market Rasen (2m, soft) last month; also effective on good ground; in top hands and could be better than her opening mark. |

1st 3 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Won two Grade 3 bumpers over 1m4f on soft in France and showed useful form when placed in 2m novice events last year; got off the mark over hurdles with a minimum of fuss at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in November and beaten a short head by Watamu at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) the following month; now 7lb better off with that rival; claims. |

12st 1lb |
Second in a Listed bumper last season and won the mares' final at Newbury (2m4f handicap, good) in March; that was off 10lb lower but she's proving herself off this mark and only just missed out on the places at Leopardstown last time (2m2f, heavy); should have every chance. |

Second in a Listed bumper last season and won the mares' final at Newbury (2m4f handicap, good) in March on her fourth start over hurdles; useful standard of form overall; second when favourite at Cheltenham last time; interesting but may find the locals too good. |

Comfortably made all in three-runner maiden on hurdle/stable debut at Plumpton (2m, good) in November; her two subsequent novice runs have been on soft ground and she was a creditable second behind Tour Ovalie at Taunton (2m, soft) last month; benefits from sizeable pull in the weights with that rival today and retains potential now back on better ground for handicap debut. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
17 races, finishing well in a 1m4f classified at Lingfield (AW) in March for her only win; second there off today's mark at same track (2m) last time was her best form under Flat rules and she has some turf form in the bumper and hurdle spheres; not entirely ruled out on Flat turf debut. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Finished well for narrow win in 1m4f classified here last month, opening her account on 15th start under all codes; soundly beaten in Wolverhampton handicap over that trip since but could plausibly have untapped potential over 2m on the Flat. |

7th 6 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went into her last race a 14-race maiden but she'd shown bits and bobs across both codes and got off the mark, staying on strongly to land Lingfield classified (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; unexposed in this sphere despite her age and could be a leftfield improver; chance. |

12st 0lb |
Made a promising start under rules when second of seven in a Fontwell novice hurdle (2m3f, soft) last December, but disappointed badly in two subsequent starts; makes her handicap debut in a first-time tongue-tie after seven months off; market should be informative. |
