23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Last season started well but petered out and it might be happening again, as although it wasn't a bad run behind Cheltenham Festival heroine White Noise two starts back, Chepstow last time was underwhelming (well behind Siog Geal; soft ground no excuse). |
20/1 |

7th 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Narrowly made a successful reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) off 5lb lower; worrying that last season petered out after starting well, though it was by no means a bad run at Newbury when 11l behind White Noise who won the Dawn Run at Cheltenham on Thursday; goes well fresh. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden hurdle on last season's return before delivering her best form yet when second in Newbury Listed race (2m, good to soft); her three runs after the turn of the year were disappointing, leaving her with a point to prove now. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Last two runs in a tongue-tie; value for her narrow winning margin at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) and probably ran just as well in defeat at Plumpton (soft); did go up 2lb for that 2l defeat which was annoying. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has won on soft; some low points along the way but she was quite a convincing winner back hurdling at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month, despite the narrow winning margin and bleeding from the nose; the latter issue is a worry and she's back up 5lb but will be a major contender if all is well. |

Beaten in the region of 10l at Warwick (soft) and Plumpton (good to soft) and will need to step up to be more competitive here. |

16th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 1f 164y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Closely related to smart jumper Sandor Clegane; kept on for third (no threat to front pair) in what has turned out to be a fairly good mares' bumper at Warwick (soft) just over a year ago (Chique Angel was fourth); absent since but clearly has ability; wore hood on debut. |

Signs of ability in two bumpers; pedigree suggests she may improve sharply now switched to hurdles and upped in trip; could go well. |

Useful pedigree; duly showed some ability, albeit without landing a blow, at Warwick (2m, soft; finished fifth) in November; open to improvement with the outing under her belt. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive 7yo who held on well to score at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month and is now 4-6 in handicaps; latest 5lb rise does not look excessive and it's hard to tell when her improvement will level off; respected. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Seems versatile as regards trip; good second at Hexham (2m7f) and successful at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) since joining Dan Skelton; better than ever and may improve further at this sort of level; respected. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won a 2m3f handicap hurdle in April for Richard Bandey whom she left for £20,000; 13-8 for recent yard debut at Hexham and went down narrowly over a trip just shy of 3m; obvious contender here off an untouched mark. |
11/10 |

2nd 3 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Didn't fire when dropped back to 2m six weeks ago, her final start for Richard Bandey, but was in good form at about 2m4f beforehand, notably when making all at Hereford (good) in April; recently changed hands for £20,000 and now tackles a new trip on stable debut; interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with her. |

Ran encouragingly at this course (2m5f, good to soft; hurdles debut) on last appearance and, having met spots of trouble, the bare form needs marking up; looks interesting. |

10st 7lb |
Soundly beaten on last month's handicap hurdle debut (2m3f) but there was significant promise in her earlier qualifying runs and she remains very unexposed; no surprise if she displays the necessary improvement on today's chasing debut. |
