20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Sole success over hurdles came in January 2024 when trained by Archie Watson; she has offered little in three runs for current yard and it's easy to look elsewhere. |

On a long losing sequence and offered little in two runs for her new handler, pulled up in 2m4f handicap at Leicester in January; now tongue tied first time; easy to look elsewhere. |

Left Archie Watson after string of disappointing runs last season and dropped out very tamely on last month's stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft); needs to turn a corner. |

£1,000 3yo; sixth foal; sister to point/2m3f chase winner Accord (RPR 122) and point winner Arch Dancer; dam maiden; makes debut against males and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times over hurdles last year (2m3f-2m7f) but it isn't happening over fences, pulled up all three starts this term; now comes back in trip with blinkers replacing cheekpieces; handicapped to be competitive but impossible to recommend without market support at present. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won three times over hurdles last year (2m3f-2m7f) but has badly lost her way since; pulled up in both chases this season (cheekpieces added last time); big leap of faith needed to support her. |

Verdict
Having shaped well on her debut at Ayr, it would be no surprise to see Touch Of A Dragon go close. However, it might be worth taking a chance with one of the newcomers to racing under rules and the best of them may be NORTHERN REEL and On Cloud Nine, in that order. The selection cost £38,000 after winning a point and might be good enough to make a winning start. Others to consider in an interesting bumper are Scarlet O’Tara and Tintagel Queen. [Keith McHugh]
