16-race maiden who hasn't looked at home on testing ground in her last three races; has had her share of disappointments on goodish ground but her second here in March of last year on good to soft isn't forgotten. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored over hurdles at Stratford last May but below par on the AW over the winter, beating just one home in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford in February; more is required after a break in a change of headgear. |
14/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

C&D scorer but she's not proving the easiest to predict of late, tried in a change of headgear when only sixth of eight in 1m handicap here last month; others are preferred. |

15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

All three of her wins on the Flat have been over 1m2f; failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in November but she ran a better race when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 26 days ago; cheekpieces replace the visor but this is the shortest trip she has encountered since July 2023. |

Touched off on Flat in May and over hurdles in July; well beaten on last two starts (Flat/hurdles) but she won at this track two winters back and also had serious form here early in 2024, so she can't be dismissed. |

10st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field in her four handicaps and was tailed off at Plumpton (3m1f) last time; may have had stamina issues in that race but things haven't clicked for her yet and she needs improvement back in trip. |

11st 1lb |
Best run yet in handicaps when about a 10l fourth at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) but he did weaken late on and now goes up in distance; dangerous to underestimate his trainer's thinking but stamina has to be doubted. |

Jumping to her right and looked out of sorts at Southwell in June but was in good form on right-handed tracks beforehand, winning at Taunton (2m5f, soft) and finishing second over C&D (good); back on a clockwise course today and a big player if back on song after her break. |

13th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Came good over fences at third attempt, with clearcut win from the front at Taunton (2m5f, soft) in March; 8lb rise asks quite a lot of her here but the longer trip might unlock further improvement and she should be fine if the ground stays good. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |

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. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |

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. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won two soft-ground chases (both 2m3f) in early 2025 and has posted some good efforts in defeat this season; looked laboured and was below form here (2m, soft) last month but can be dangerous off current mark if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |

Won three times last season on soft/heavy ground; runner-up on first three starts this term then fifth at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago when three places behind Royal Mer; today's forecast slow ground could aid her cause. |

Three-time hurdle winner who kept on well to make winning chase debut at Exeter (2m1f, soft) last month; pulled up at Wincanton since, having made made jumping errors at consecutive fences, but still has scope to for further progress in this sphere. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |

Five-time hurdle winner who is 0-4 over fences; ran respectably in a hurdle handicap at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) last month but this is a tough task on the figures and she fell over fences on her penultimate run; passed over. |

Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft; including C&D) and followed a break by returning to winning ways with a career best at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; could still have more to offer and she's respected up 4lb. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Didn't really fire at Stratford last month and now 0-4 over fences but that run came just one week after a pretty good second there (2m3f, good to firm) and she's had a longer break this time; a possible. |

Well treated on her second in a Down Royal handicap (1m5f, good) in July 2022 but she's not seen much action since and has struggled over hurdles for her current yard; still relatively lightly raced but she comes with risks attached back in this sphere; tongue-tie added. |
