26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Point and 2m5f novice winner in the mud; sent handicapping this term and made the frame on her first three attempts, notably when second at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in December, but she needs to bounce back from a lesser show on latest outing; tongue tied first time. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Bought for £75,000 after winning an Irish point (soft); noticeably strong in the market for hurdle debut at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) and responded well for pressure to prevail narrowly; a line through the runner-up gives her something to find with Star Walking but this mare has potential. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Irish mares' maiden point (3m, soft) in November on her second start and changed hands for £75,000 in December; with good yard for rules career and has been found an apparently winnable race in which to kick off. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made all with something to spare at Hereford (2m5f, heavy) in February on second handicap start and another good run when third at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) last month; might not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at sixth attempt, making all to score by over 7l at Hereford (2m5f, heavy) three weeks ago; might have more to offer over this longer trip but is back up in grade and needs to prove she's fully effective on this quicker ground. |

1st 1 |
11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Sported a first-time hood when going very close in Wincanton maiden (about 2m5f, heavy) just over a year ago; couldn't match that either side of a break but last time's handicap debut at Windsor (2m4f, good) was a step back in the right direction; drops in grade. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-10 under rules but left disappointing chase debut behind when second of ten at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January, and last month's Warwick third (3m, soft) was also a good effort; a possible if in similar form on the faster ground here. |

3rd 1 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Point winner who is 0-9 under rules but showed improved form when second at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) last month on her second chase start; this lightly raced 9yo may well be able to get off the mark today. |

Sole win came over C&D (good) in May and has run well a couple of times since, but has also bled on a couple of occasions including on her chase debut back here (3m, good) last month; others more persuasive. |

Ex-Noel Williams; 18-1 winner over 3m here in April (good; second dead-heated next time); up 5lb; interesting. |

29th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up in a heavy-ground 2m6f point in March last year, but little worthwhile form over hurdles since and was beaten 20l on handicap debut in June; needs to find plenty for this switch to fences from 10lb out of the weights. |

Struggled to cope with heavy ground in her latest qualifying race but was placed in run-of-the-mill mares' novice at Uttoxeter (2m6f, soft) in December and remains unexposed; tongue-tie added for handicap debut. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |

Took a step forward when near-10l third at Uttoxeter (2m6f, soft) last month on her second start; could continue to progress; chance. |
