24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Won Grade 2 novice hurdle in February 2024 (2m4f, soft) but chasing didn't go to plan during light campaign last season and she was well beaten when upped to 3m1f for hurdle return in January; this race is much easier but she's not yet proven on good ground and her current ability is hard to gauge; had wind op in February. |

Won a novice here (2m, soft) last July; has been below her best in two valuable handicaps at Newbury and Ayr this spring; this is back in calmer waters but she still needs to show more. |

20th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Pulled up on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month but she's much better than that, having finished second to a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in January; there's stamina in her pedigree and this lightly raced 8yo is not written off now up in trip. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who completed the set in a 2m3f Wetherby handicap chase (good to soft) last winter; not seen since a below-par third over fences at Market Rasen last April; lower mark back hurdling but got to be a chance she'll need this after nearly a year off. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

In the frame five consecutive times since switched to chasing this year, most notably when winning by 18l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in January; should also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; likely contender again. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last winter and she returned after nine months off with a near-miss at Warwick (3m1f, soft) in November; looks interesting on that form but she's not matched it in two runs since and needs to rediscover her spark. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Solid contender on the form of a Chepstow win (2m7f) last February and when narrowly failing to give weight to a subsequent winner at Warwick (3m1f, also on soft) in November; lacked the pace to play a part on good to soft there since but today's surface and lower grade will help. |

Won a 2m4f maiden for mares here in November and ran in a Listed race next time, in which she was well held (again the case at Sedgefield); absent since January but may well have more to offer in handicaps. |

26th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Runner-up on hurdle debut here (2m1f, soft) in October then went one better at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft); well beaten in Listed race at Haydock last month (behind Getaway Theatre) but the heavy ground may have been too much and she could bounce back with a big performance today. |

Placed in low-grade handicaps at up to 2m on the Flat, including on heavy; has not accomplished much over hurdles on last five outings but at least her fitness should be assured; needs a second look for in-form yard. |

Placed in low-grade handicaps at up to 2m on the Flat and ran well for a long way when upped to 3m for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (heavy); effectively 1lb higher today but might last longer on the less testing ground; dangerous to ignore. |

9th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Unable to transfer her bumper promise to hurdles and she was pulled up at Ayr last time; however, she may have needed that first run since May and back then she was a fair fifth of 15 on her handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft); her mark has fallen and she's not written off. |
