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. |

Consistent sort but she's won just once (a maiden last January) from 13 starts; rallied into a remote second here (good) last time, so perhaps a first attempt beyond that 2m5f will help the cause. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up in a Listed hurdle for mares at this fixture (Cheltenham) 12 months ago; only 1-12 but she's likeably consistent and was third of 13 off this mark over Kempton's 2m5f a month ago (good) having been given every chance; solid claims once more. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Just one win but has been placed at Listed level and her close second in a Newbury handicap (about 2m4f, good) last March was solid form, especially after badly hampered early and didn't get the best of passages when trying to challenge; should come on for her recent return at Warwick where heavy ground probably wasn't ideal and can go well back in a handicap. |

10st 12lb |
Held up; 1-9 over hurdles but 5lb lower than when fourth under Murray Dodd at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December, her best form; no match for Indannya or Fresh As A Daisy at Warwick next time, but her latest start (pulled up at Ludlow; tongue tied first time) is the chief worry. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Just 1-8 over hurdles but kept on well to take fourth from out of the weights in good Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good to soft) in December and also ran well when placed in Warwick novice (2m5f, good to soft) at end of that month; won't be far away if she copes with the slower ground here; tongue-tie added. |

10st 13lb |
Failed to convince as a chaser in two attempts at last season; subsequently won over hurdles (2m3f, soft) but her form dipped afterwards; took step back in right direction when well-held second in four-runner hurdle last month (3m2f, good to firm) but needs another on this return to fences. |

Seemingly back in good nick when winning readily at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in February but ended last season with two lesser efforts (3m/2m7f) and has questions to answer again over this new trip. |

Chasing didn't go to plan before she won readily when back over hurdles at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in February; ran badly, however, at Ludlow (3m but not because of the trip) three weeks later; ran respectably at 3m on final start last term. |

Won a mares' maiden at Market Rasen (2m, good) last April; runner-up in first two handicaps during the winter but she's been disappointing in last two runs; bit to prove but mark is sliding and she's had wind surgery since her latest effort at Fontwell last month; not ruled out. |

Won this race readily by over 9l a year ago (good ground) and was placed over C&D on next two outings; returned from break with two down-the-field runs this summer (cheekpieces added last time) but is back on a good mark now and the return to this track is sure to suit. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Added to point, bumper and hurdles wins when battling on gamely in mares' Listed chase at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) 16 days ago; that was a career best and she may not have reached her ceiling just yet; faces a sterner assignment against male rivals but impossible to discount. |

Was gaining her third career hurdles win when returning to form at Down Royal last month, taking advantage of reduced mark and drop in grade over 2m5f (Rajjnatin third); 0-5 chasing, though was going okay when brought down three from home in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap; 3lb lower here so respected. |

Stayed on well to win on her hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in November; good third at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) next time but tailed off on handicap debut at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last month; maybe the return to better ground will help; one of three in this for her stable. |

Soft-ground 3m point runner-up who stayed on well to win on her hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in November, before a fair third at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in December; improvement is needed off her opening mark but this unexposed mare is in good hands to progress. |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Only really minor promise in two Southwell bumpers, and likely the form of last month's Uttoxeter hurdles debut win (2m, good; just held on) is moderate; half-sister to a 2m3f hurdles scorer for this yard, however, suggesting improvement for the longer trip is far from unfeasible. |

Won 2m4f handicap at Sandown (soft) in December and she ran well in defeat in Listed/Grade 2 races on next two starts (2m4f/1m7f, good/soft); mid-race unseat at Cheltenham last week; she's a half-sister to a 3m2f winner and it's possible this new trip will be within range; in with a chance. |

Followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event there in January; another sound effort when a rallying third of four in 2m Ascot mares' Grade 2 (soft) since; the return to further will suit but she has plenty to find on form. |
