A dual winner over the extended 7f at Ffos Las (good/soft) last August; made an encouraging return when fifth over 7f at Kempton in March but well held back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago. |

A dual 7f winner last August and she made an encouraging return when fifth in 7f Kempton handicap in March; this course winner needs considering. |

Dual Ffos Las winner over this trip last August who resumes on a workable mark having lost her way latterly; nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh and she'll need to improve on previous AW efforts. |

Failed to fire at Newcastle last time, an effort that was disappointing given she broke on terms; on the same mark as for her Chelmsford win in August but others have more pressing claims. |

Overcame a tardy start to win at Chelmsford in August (6f) but she hasn't got away with it twice since; feasibly weighted but her propensity for missing the break makes her a risky proposition. |

Ties in with Glory Hyde on Wetherby reappearance running; has done all her winning in Class 6 but she's 2-3 over C&D and could go well from a good draw back here. |

Ex-Adrian Nicholls; ten-race maiden who hasn't shown a great deal for her new yard recently but today's softer ground should be ideal. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Fair run on her stable debut/reappearance in April but she took a backward step at Catterick in May; absent since and improvement is required but her best RPR came on good to firm, a surface she's only tackled once. |

26th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win for James Ferguson at Wolverhampton (5f fillies' maiden; second start) in May 2023; hasn't really figured in four starts (6f-7f) since joining this trainer; visor applied dropping back in trip from an easing mark. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
7th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a Wolverhampton maiden (5f, Tapeta) for James Ferguson last May and runner-up three times later in the year, but out of the frame in all three outings since debuting for this yard in December; exposed after 12 starts and plenty to prove up in trip. |
16/1 |

23rd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Reliable sprinter for James Ferguson; two runs for new stable haven't been her best but cheekpieces (worn once when recording her peak RPR) now return; a possible. |

Just 1lb higher than when winning at Brighton (5f, soft) last September but she's not easy to predict and was last of eight at Wolverhampton in December; has bit to prove after that and this is competitive on her return. |

9st 11lb |
0-6 but she ran her best race so far when runner-up behind a well-backed favourite in a C&D nursery (good) eight days ago; did clear best of the closers in that race and she's a big player off same mark; hood added. |

2nd 1 (6) |
3rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Her first two runs were encouraging but she hasn't progressed, albeit she looked stretched by 7f at Leicester three weeks ago; this is uncompetitive and she can't be discounted dropping in grade. |

May have needed her Thirsk reappearance ten days ago, but just 1-28 and this is just her second attempt at 5f; others preferred. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Placed over C&D for Richard Hannon and her three runs at Thirsk for her new yard last summer yielded two close thirds and her breakthrough success; she has a 227-day absence to overcome today but is still likely to give it a good go. |

16th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Some early promise but she's struggled since moving into handicaps; dropped 14lb as a result and not beyond the realms of possibility that blinkers could coax something extra from her. |

11th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in first two starts at Newbury last summer, including when fourth of 16 in a maiden (6f, good; 200-1), but disappointed afterwards; fair fifth of nine on her Lingfield return (6f, AW) a fortnight ago but more is needed. |
10/1 |

28th May 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Promise in novice/maiden company but she disappointed in two Class 5 nurseries in the autumn; dropped 8lb for those efforts and possible she'll fulfil that early promise this season; check betting. |
