Dual hurdle winner; only 6l away last time at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) on ground that would have been on the lively side for her; can see her going well. |

Dual hurdle winner when trained by Dan Sketon, but absent since her fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) for this stable in October 2024 and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

11st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner for Dan Skelton, a yard she left after two quiet runs over fences; pulled up in that discipline on stable debut but showed a bit more spark back over hurdles at Ludlow; nothing wrong with her mark. |

11st 11lb |
12l seventh at Stratford latest (16.5f) was a first glimmer of form since her good-ground Irish point win of a year ago; no chance has been taken with her mark, but first try at 3m under Rules offers some hope. |

Holds poor claims on her slow-ground hurdles form but may improve back on forecast faster surface; Irish point win came on good. |

18th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up in Worcester bumper (2m, good) in final run for Martin Keighley and comfortably made all on last month's hurdle/stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft); it was a weak race last time and others have more substance to their form, but she's a likeable prospect and is respected. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |

Delivered on promise shown in bumpers for Martin Keighley last spring when making all for clear win on last month's stable/hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft), but has a lot more on her plate in a much stronger race here. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Looked in excellent nick when making all for clearcut success at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in February but was beaten about 30l over that C&D on next two outings; moves back up in trip with questions to answer. |
8/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song. |
11/2 |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Made all to notch her third C&D win (soft; from 7lb lower) three weeks ago; that was in a mares' contest but she was a comfortable winner and this track brings out the best in her; one of the likeliest candidates. |

Struggled in basement-grade AW races this year and did achieve much on her two previous hurdling attempts; makes no appeal. |
