12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Minor form in a range of disciplines and although there isn't much between her and Remember Moi on their Stratford run last month she was struggling from a long way out before pulled up there since. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-11 in Irish points and 0-12 under rules; ran well to a point over C&D on stable debut in March but two lesser efforts have followed (2m7f/2m6f; cheekpieces refitted last time); others look stronger. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made it 2-5 over hurdles when landing a mares' handicap at Stratford (2m3f, good) last July but she flopped in a three-runner race in final run last year; has bit to prove after 218 days but she has potential in this sphere and needs a close look in market. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
C&D maiden scorer; didn't quite run up to her previous best in taking a 2m3f Stratford mares' handicap when last seen in July (good; made all), but slightly longer trips are probably that bit better a suit and today's additional yardage is all to the good; 7lb rise demands extra. |
11/10 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-David Pipe; has run well for this yard on last two starts, winning a 2m4f Fakenham mares' novice on first occasion (good; Claim Du Brizais well back in sixth) before finishing runner-up off this mark in what looked a fair mares' novice handicap at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft); chance. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Kept on well to win at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in October but failed to take to fences in next two starts and finished well held reverting to hurdles back at Fontwell (2m1f) last month over what may have been an inadequate test; needs to bounce back, but only 2lb higher than for her win and the step back up in trip will suit. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won a 2m3f handicap hurdle here in October under Ciaran O'Shea (good to soft) and chasing hasn't gone to plan since then; respected back in this discipline as she's not handicapped out of it. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Ciaran O'Shea aboard for last two runs in 2m4f handicaps at Worcester, both of which were respectable; unlikely to be far away. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ex-Irish filly who is 2-6 over hurdles since joining Dan Skelton last autumn, the latter win gained over 2m4f; completely unexposed beyond 1m4f on the Flat; interesting. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Thereabouts in middle-distance Flat handicaps in Ireland and has won two of three hurdles (out of depth in the other) since wind surgery, proving suited by the step up to 2m4f when winning over C&D (good) in May; raised 5lb but has major claims. |
3/1 |

1st 3 |
13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won a novice hurdle at Doncaster (2m1f, good; first start since wind surgery) in March, but faced a stiff task from 9lb out of the weights on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last month; wouldn't want the ground to ease too much, but respected otherwise. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Unlucky not to win three in a row over 2m4f in the spring (good to firm-good to soft); had to settle for fourth when warm favourite to add to her tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but that certainly wasn't a bad run and she remains open to further progress; respected. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Would have won at Southwell last month had she not come down at the last and successful on either side of that, doing it comfortably here last time under positive tactics; has to take an 8lb rise on the chin but looks progressive. |
6/4 |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Has seemingly come on plenty for taking the best part of a year off as she made a winning return at Sedgefield in May and had plenty in hand when taking quite a heavy fall at the last at Southwell (2m4f; good) on Monday; needs to be none the worse on this very quick return. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick in handicap hurdles at about 2m3f (good to soft/soft) before finishing tailed off on her chase debut two months ago; even if back on song returned to hurdles, she's 10lb higher than for last win which was gained only narrowly. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |

Has been in flying form over hurdles, winning her last three; she now needs to translate that form to fences on this chasing debut; interesting contender. |
7/4 |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well backed when getting off the mark at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in December and again did it comfortably when defying a 10lb rise to follow up there (2m3f, soft) 11 days ago; under a 7lb penalty she's 7lb ahead of the handicapper and could take all the beating. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
11-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) and she's struggled at massive prices in her six hurdle races; long way out of the weights again and can only be watched back in trip. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Not yet shown much over hurdles, including in two handicaps; best watched from 12lb out of the weights. |

11th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Minor form so far, most recently on the AW and a 2m3f handicap here (pulled up) in October; needs lots more from 7lb wrong. |
