15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Quickened up best off a slow pace to prevail in a small field at Chepstow (2m7f, good); unlikely that represented any improvement on previous best efforts but only went up 4lb. |
9/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Below par on two of her last three outings, including latest when returned to the sound surface of her one career success; hasn't shaped as if in need of this second crack at a stayers' trip (pulled up in the first). |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent this season if forgiven her penultimate blip, after which she underwent wind surgery; it was a respectable effort at Haydock next time as that was a competitive Class 2 handicap (2m5f); goes well on good ground and looks a big player. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Effectively a 0-135 mares' handicap she took in course record time at Kempton over Christmas (good); can throw in the odd poor effort and there's something to take on trust after she stopped early on latest start (made a noise) but she's in the mix if all is well with her. |

11st 0lb |
Reappeared with good second to Rockola Vogue in Ascot handicap (2m7f, good) in November then went one better at Kempton (3m, good) in December; she needs another step forward now up in grade but things appear to have clicked for this lightly raced 7yo and she could be a contender. |

3rd 4 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Her worst performance in Irish points had been recorded on soft, so perhaps February's Plumpton failure on similar ground ought not to have surprised; nicely progressive in staying handicaps otherwise with wins at Taunton and Ascot, though the 7lb rise since the latter asks a stiff question. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Showed improved form and a willing attitude to get off the mark over hurdles on handicap debut at Taunton (good to soft) in January, keeping on stoutly over an extended 3m; ran poorly when favourite at Plumpton (extended 2m4f, soft) five weeks ago, but considered on the former effort. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed improved form and a willing attitude to get off the mark over hurdles on handicap debut at Taunton (good to soft) last month, keeping on stoutly over 3m; 3lb rise looks manageable, but the drop back to 2m4f is a slight concern as she appeared to need every yard of the longer trip; leading player all the same with Harry Cobden back in the saddle. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland where she was effective on good ground; conditions were heavy when going close at Ffos Las a month ago (3m) and she travelled strongly deep into that race; possibilities off 4lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland, winning just the once; made a quiet start for this yard at Chepstow but in a Class 3 handicap over 2m3f and this is easier; should handle the ground and has form over this far. |
