11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
She was returning from a five-month break when finishing in midfield at Doncaster 13 days ago (5f, good to soft), a race where she tired in the final furlong but still did best of the far-side group; two wins and two seconds from her six C&D runs and she has solid claims off a fair mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
2-3 at Catterick, fending off Lucius Aurelius there (5f, good to firm; from 4lb higher) in April 2025; 0-8 since but did take a step back in the right direction when third to Betweenthesticks on seasonal reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good; 9-2) four weeks ago; possible player. |

3rd 5 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored on her reappearance at Catterick (5f) last season and mainly performed with credit after; she's now 3lb below that winning mark so needs considering. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Just a maiden win to her name and has often pulled hard, including a couple of times for her current yard; fair comeback at Doncaster in March, albeit from a good draw, and is worth considering. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 2-3 on AW; 0-9 on turf but finished first in her group at Goodwood (5f, good) on seasonal debut and looks a possible danger provided this race pans out better. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two 5f wins on AW last year but she's been absent since a disappointing run at Southwell (tenth of 12) in September; has bit to prove on her return and this is competitive back on turf. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf. |
7/1 |
|
8 (2) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Took time to get to grips with racing but she's now on an upward trajectory, seemingly relishing the stiff 6f at Leicester (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise means further improvement will need to be forthcoming but she handles Tapeta (Wolverhampton third) and could prove capable. |

4-21 when trained by David O'Meara, with all the wins gained over 5f on AW; absent since pulled up after early mishap in October and best watched on stable debut. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not entirely disgraced at Newcastle last week and probably remains in form; narrow success on penultimate outing took her C&D record to 121; solid claims back here. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden but she has form form figures of 4223 in handicaps and that latest third was on her reappearance at Bath (5f, good) last month; 1lb lower here and she should be in mix again. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten under 3l in each of her three nursery runs last year (AW and soft); needs to have improved over the winter to make a winning return to action. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Went back-to-back in May on her first two runs for this yard but appeared to give her running when a well-held second last time and might be high in the weights now. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Surprise winner on stable debut at Redcar (5f, good to firm; 66-1) in May but she followed up with a clearcut success under a penalty at Catterick (5f, good to soft); still looks feasibly treated on that form but she flopped at Beverley last month and needs to bounce back after that. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
She had regularly threatened prior to beating Data Fata Secutus in a 5f handicap at Musselburgh last month (good ground); a 3lb higher mark asks a stiffer question of her. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-7 but last week's close third (Data Fata Secutus narrowly behind in fifth) of 11 at Newcastle (5f, AW) suggests she can win a race like this; showed promise on turf last summer; likely to go well. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Showed first bit of form when successful in a maiden over C&D in March; didn't appear to get home when fifth of six upped to 6f here since; steps back in trip but needs to show that win was not just a one-off. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Returned from a 231-day break, making all to beat an odds-on favourite in a five-runner 5f fillies' maiden here three weeks ago; now rated 6lb higher on her first attempt over 6f (dam won over this trip); probable player in a race lacking strength in depth. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has twice gone close from this mark in her last three starts, at Musselburgh (5f, good) and most recently at Redcar (5f, good to firm); both those efforts suggest that this extra half furlong will be a positive; visor now tried; player. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden but she ran well at both Newcastle and Musselburgh (5f; met trouble) last month; took a backwards step at Nottingham 16 days ago and she needs to resume her progress. |
13/2 |
