23rd Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won at Wincanton (2m5f, good to firm) in November 2022 on last hurdle start and was bang there when falling at the final fence at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last April when last seen; stays 3m and is effective on good to soft ground; a good record when fresh further heightens interest. |

Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when winning over C&D (good) in pretty good style in April but was pulled up the following month and has become quite tricky to predict; had wind op during six-month break. |

Inconsistent but she returned to form with a convincing win in first-time cheekpieces at Wincanton (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; she'll have no problem with the step up in trip; contender if the headgear maintains its effect. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not entirely solid on last season's form, although seemed a non-stayer over 3m on final outing; goes well fresh and looks quite interesting off a reduced mark on return from break. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Failed to figure when pulled up at Fakenham on New Year's Day but gave a much better account of herself from the front at Newbury on Sunday (3m, good to firm) until backpedaling from the penultimate flight; this shorter trip could assist assuming those exertions haven't left their mark. |

19th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Form steadily tailed off last season after winning a novice for mares to begin with; reappearance was respectable (on good to firm) but she was pulled up at Fakenham and is looking a tad high in the weights; first run beyond 2m5f. |

28th Jan 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won seven races in a row in 2021 and she was back on the scoresheet in a handicap at Newton Abbot last June; however, she hasn't been at her best since and this 10yo would be a shock winner here. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |

Eight-time winning hurdler but below her best since returning from a break; soft ground would not look ideal for her chase debut. |

20th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Enhanced her very healthy strike-rate when winning a four-runner mares' handicap at Newton Abbot in June but she hasn't been at her best on her two runs this autumn and has to raise her game; best form on good/good to soft. |

17th Nov 2024 Good 3m 3f 71y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Has run well on good ground here and won at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; reappeared with solid third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month and she should be fine with today's test (albeit well beaten 12 months ago); 2lb out of the handicap but not discounted for bang-in-form yard. |

22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |

Thorough stayer who gained last season's chasing win at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; not quite in same form at Plumpton later that month but has good record when fresh and begins her new campaign on a workable mark; had wind operation in August; good chance. |

18th Apr 2024 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Has had three wind operations, the latest last May after a poor run at this meeting; won chase debut at Worcester in October and very good second in Grade 2 novice at Wincanton one month later, both at 2m4f, but a nine-day gap before latest start was seemingly insufficient as she ran poorly (2m1f); off 150 days since and needs improvement but could still have more to offer. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Two hurdle wins (both 2m, soft and good to soft) last season; sent chasing this season but that plan quickly aborted after two non-completions; she's been much more competitive back hurdling, second at Southwell (2m, good) before finding 3m just stretching her at Ludlow 17 days ago; not ruled out back down in trip. |

2nd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |

Can make the running; won two novice hurdles last term and, after two early departures over fences, she went down by a neck in five-runner handicap at Southwell in December latest when back over hurdles; could have more to offer but those three most notable results were all over 2m, so this trip requires some guesswork; 7lb claimer enlisted. |

Launched chasing career with two convincing wins last year (2m5f/2m3f); not much has gone to plan since but she may not have handled the heavy ground on last month's seasonal debut and may yet bounce back; new trip. |
