19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Came good on Flat last autumn with 2m wins at Ascot (good) and Newmarket (good to soft); more to prove on soft, as her latest start (heavy defeat at Ascot) confirms but she was in good form going into that; usual cheekpieces are replaced by a visor. |

Came good on Flat last autumn with 2m wins here (good) and at Newmarket (good to soft; more to prove on soft); seconds this month at Chester and York confirm she's a big player if the ground is okay. |

11st 12lb |
2-5 for new stable since the autumn, the latter win gained in three-runner race at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; 2m4f on good ground should also suit but recent 4lb rise demands a career best here. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last October and is now just 1lb higher; however, this 10yo hasn't been at the top of her game on either outing this spring and was no match for Therapist at Stratford last time. |

8th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has very good 7-31 strike-rate over hurdles but a couple of those wins were collected in small-field races in Jersey; didn't run badly when last of five at Exeter last month, after a layoff, and could be favoured if the ground ends up quicker than good here, but her two younger rivals appeal more. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Opened her chase account at the seventh attempt when winning over C&D last month, and didn't have to improve to follow up off 4lb higher back here (2m4f, soft) a fortnight later; shoulders a 7lb penalty in her hat-trick bid, but she remains open to further progress back up in distance; strong contender. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Stuck on well to beat the market leader (pair clear) in similar event at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last time, opening her chase account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but still looks well treated, including on best hurdles form; respected. |
4/5 |

1st 5 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Scored off 22lb higher over hurdles (2m, soft) in January 2023 but she's not posed a threat since then; still lightly raced in this sphere but she fell on her return to chasing two weeks ago and others are more convincing. |

12th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Has a record of 5-10 over hurdles, the most recent win by 10l in a five-runner race at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in May on latest outing; 7lb higher today but has to be taken seriously for yard among the winners. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 192y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has a record of 4-9 over hurdles, the most recent win at Huntingdon (soft) in March; beaten favourite at Uttoxeter (again over 2m4f) since but shaped as if this new trip will suit; won her bumper on good ground; enters calculations. |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Off the mark over hurdles when an all-the-way C&D maiden winner (heavy; 6-4 favourite) penultimate; weak in the betting - still favourite though - when underwhelming on handicap debut at Carlisle subsequently; switching back to Ffos Las, with Ned Fox returning to the saddle, is a sensible move. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Confirmed previous promise when off the mark with a 15l-win in a mares' maiden hurdle at Ffos Las last time (2m4f, heavy); stiffer task on handicap debut but worth considering. |

Verdict
A competitive contest which can go to PROGRESSIVE, who should enjoy the return to 2m. Fay Ce Que Voudras is feared most, even though she disappointed at Leicester last month.[Jonathan Neesom]
