25th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to win in 14 starts for Tom Ward but she made a winning stable debut over C&D last September (after 11 months off) and followed up one month later; well drawn for her reappearance and still feasibly weighted; stable are having a quiet summer though (2-124 since the start of April). |

13th Sep 2022 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Had C&D form before layoff and she seemed all the better for the break when making most for new yard here ten days ago; up 3lb but bigger factors may be other pace-setters, a higher draw and this quick return. |

pressed leader, led 3f out, edged left and hampered rival over 2f out, 3 lengths ahead 2f out, soon ridden, much reduced lead inside final 110yds, always doing enough |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Course regular who's going beyond 5f for the first time in almost two years; remains consistent and is on a winning mark but others are preferred over this trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
In-form 8yo, placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last two starts; goes back up in class but it's difficult to rule out this eight-time course winner who should get a good pace to aim at. |

Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark. |

Has gained last three wins at classified level, the most recent over C&D in January; poor strike-rate in handicaps but holds place claims on plenty of form; best to forgive latest effort. |

Without a win since June 2022; out of form last season and although those struggles have continued in four starts this year she wasn't too far away on Newcastle AW (6f; first-time cheekpieces, retained) ten days ago; needs more. |
