18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Made all in Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in January and ran well for a long way when ninth of 23 in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) last month; she's 1lb lower than when a very close third in this last year (good to soft) and could again be involved. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

Can make the running; inconsistent but returned to form with mares' Grade 2 win at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in January; runs off same mark as when close third to Cracking Rhapsody in Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft) last April; not ruled out each-way at likely big odds. |

21st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Twice beaten by Ooh Betty last spring but has come on leaps and bounds since then, producing career-best RPRs in winning 2m mares' hurdles at Newbury late last year (latest a Listed race); has more on her plate here but she's a no-nonsense mare who will be up there throughout. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Splendidly tough mare who was notching her third win of a busy campaign when trouncing ten rivals in a novice over C&D (good to soft; made most of the running) three weeks ago; that was her best effort by some way and there seemed to be no fluke about it; probably again the one to beat. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Reverted to hurdling with respectable fourth at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May but was quickly back in the doldrums on next outing and is now 0-14 under all codes; needs 134-day break to have done her good. |

11th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Pulled up in two slow-ground chases at end of last season but fared much better when fourth of 13 over hurdles at Warwick (2m5f, good) last month and is 3lb lower today; each-way claims at least. |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 5 |

11-race maiden who didn't progress over hurdles last year and it's been the same story over fences since December; has been pulled up in her last two starts and has lots to prove back over hurdles. |

Not at her best this term but has dropped to her last winning mark, in December 2024; her second bout of wind surgery needs to have done the trick. |

19th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Unexposed mare; didn't show a great deal in three bumpers; well-beaten second behind an easy odds-on winner (who went on to complete a hat-trick next time) at Uttoxeter on latest start (2m, heavy); half-sister to a 2m5f winner so should improve for this longer trip on handicap debut. |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came clear to win Hereford maiden (2m, good to firm) last autumn; well beaten on handicap debut the following month but made a pleasing reappearance when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June and may still have potential. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Came clear in a mares' maiden on fast ground at Hereford (2m) and could be forgiven her modest handicap debut as she perhaps found 2m4f too far and a late mistake didn't help; not yet exposed. |

14th Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Jumps to the left went unpunished when running away with a Hereford mares' maiden last month (2m, good to firm); recipient of wind surgery since last tried over today's longer trip (3m Irish point winner even further back) and although initial mark is no gift her case is strong. |

28th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |

0-11 and has been well beaten on both chase starts but she appeared to be stretched by the extended 2m7f at Kelso last time and she's well treated on her best hurdle form; could be in the mix now back down in trip. |

Pulled up on both starts for new stable this spring, latterly when 80-1 for handicap debut at Perth (2m, good to firm); moves back up in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor here. |

9th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Placed in bumpers in 2022 and second at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in April 2023; however, pulled up last May on final outing for Fergal O'Brien and, after wind surgery in February, the same happened when 50-1 for new yard in April; cheekpieces (tried once) return and this is her handicap debut. |

28th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Seventh foal; half-sister to six winners including Xcitations (useful 2m hurdle/chase), Actinpieces (useful 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase) and Mortens Leam (useful 2m3f-2m5f chase); watching brief is probably best. |

Close second here (2m5f, good) for Alexandra Dunn last September; struggled on next two appearances and was always behind when reappearing for new stable over C&D last month but might revert to more positive tactics in first-time cheekpieces today and is one to keep an eye on in the betting. |
