4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made all at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; form worked out well) just under a year ago but wasn't seen again until heavy defeat at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in December and needs to have taken significant benefit from that run. |

26th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won when back over hurdles at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last month; beaten 12l into second of 15 when unpenalised at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) nine days later and a 6lb rise has now kicked in, but it was still a creditable effort last time and she can give another good account. |

Had a break since her hat-trick bid came up well short when odds-on at Hereford in March; however, might be high in the weights now and has her stamina to prove over this far. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
12st 3lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in January and has won her next two (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft), all under Lewis Saunders; carries a 7lb penalty for last Monday's win at Southwell and this progressive 5yo could be tough to beat. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-18 but she's finished runner-up in her last three handicaps and latest was at Hereford (2m4f, good; 15-8 favourite) last month; up another 2lb but she still looks feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Yet to win over hurdles but has run many a good race in handicaps and beat all bar a well-treated rival last time at Huntingdon (2m3f, heavy); has gone well here before on good ground; every chance. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-14 over hurdles but has run many a good race in handicaps, including last time at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) where she looked set to collect before reeled in late on; up 2lb but goes on heavy and should be bang there. |

2-31 over hurdles (soft/heavy) but the losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; the latest of those came at Hereford just eight days ago and she's out of the weights again. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (about 2m7f) and once over fences (2m4f) in Feburary 2025, all in the mud; beaten at least 20l on all completions this season, she's opposable despite her fall in the weights. |

21st Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Glimpses of promise in a bumper and maiden hurdles; came in for some support on her handicap and seasonal debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month, when doing much of the work before weakening to be an 18l third; tongue-tie now goes on and no surprise if she finds an improved finishing effort. |

Runner-up twice in a row last August/September and she's well treated on that form; however, four lesser performances have followed and she's now 0-16; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

Placed on consecutive outings after her narrow win at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in November but looked out of sorts on her last two outings and needs to have been refreshed by a 12-week break. |

Encouraging efforts in Ireland but she's sliding down the weights for good reason; heavy ground perhaps not ideal last time but has enough to prove. |

Showed ability in Ireland but she was a well-beaten eighth in her first two handicaps and was soundly beaten when falling at the final flight last time; needs to raise her game in a first-time tongue-tie. |

She's 7lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las in April 2023 for Alastair Ralph but that's her sole win from 17 rules attempts and she's been absent since tailing off at Fakenham last April; makes stable debut. |
