4th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Lacked fluency at the final flight but rallied well and got back up on the line in Sandown maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) on sole run this term, adding to her bumper wins and taking record in hood to 3-3 (overall form figures read 2111); remains open to further progress and warrants respect. |

Won at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in February on second bumper start and followed up in a competitive mares' bumper at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April; faces no easy task against males on this hurdle debut but she's a highly likeable prospect who could play a leading role. |

Runner-up four times for Karl Burke but poor form in three runs for new yard following a 400-day absence; has plenty to prove. |

11-race maiden; sent off at big odds and well beaten in two runs for new stable after a 400-day absence; down in trip/weights but has a point to prove. |

Runner-up in three mares' bumpers and a novice at Southwell (1m3f) before being sold out of Karl Burke's yard for 10,000gns in January last year; well beaten on stable debut after 400-day break in 1m3f handicap Southwell last month (tongue-tie tried and retained); plenty to prove. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Raced twice in bumpers two seasons ago, managing a third on Ascot debut; went off 20-1 for her hurdling introduction after an absence at Fontwell (2m1f, soft) and was beaten 20l; could be considerably sharper here. |

Half-sister to high-class bumper and 2m-4m hurdle/chase winner Rathvinden; kept on to be beaten 4l by Anno Power at Ascot (good to soft) where a steady pace wouldn't have helped; looks a nice prospect and can improve. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Quickened up best off a slow pace to prevail in a small field at Chepstow (2m7f, good); unlikely that represented any improvement on previous best efforts but only went up 4lb. |
9/2 |

1st 6 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Below par on two of her last three outings, including latest when returned to the sound surface of her one career success; hasn't shaped as if in need of this second crack at a stayers' trip (pulled up in the first). |
12/1 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent this season if forgiven her penultimate blip, after which she underwent wind surgery; it was a respectable effort at Haydock next time as that was a competitive Class 2 handicap (2m5f); goes well on good ground and looks a big player. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three-time chase winner (2m4f-3m1f) on good ground for Dan Skelton in spring 2025; has since lost her way but the signs were more encouraging here last time (2m7f), for all that she was no match for the winner; might be the answer. |

2nd 3 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner (2m4f-3m1f) on good ground for Dan Skelton in spring 2025; generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn, including when back on a sound surface for last two starts, but has become too well handicapped to rule out. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Won three small-field chases at up to 3m1f for Dan Skelton; bought for £10,000 in July and hasn't recaptured her best form for new yard. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Has to bounce back from a couple of modest runs (latest second was a remote one) but she has since undergone a wind operation; closely matched with Party Vibes and Theonewedreamof on their Cheltenham clash in December; possible. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made a winning start over fences at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and ran well when third of 13 finishers at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; had an off day at Market Rasen last time but worth another chance. |
7/1 |

4th 3 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

0-5 over hurdles but made winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bettered that performance when close third of 15 in Cheltenham mares' race (2m4f, good to soft) last month; moves back up up in trip here and probably still has more to offer over fences. |

11st 4lb |
Pulled up in sole point; made the running at slow pace when near-9l seventh of ten on last month's bumper debut at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft); it's questionable what she achieved but it was an encouraging run against rivals who had already shown ability and she's open to improvement. |

Sister to winners Mahlervous (2m-2m7f hurdle/chase), Brooksway Fair (2m5f chase) and Deployed (2m4f hurdle); jumped poorly when pulled up in a point last spring; has joined an excellent stable; worth a market check. |

Maiden who has had a few chances now in handicaps and she was on the retreat when departing two out at Southwell (3m, good), where Shorten Sassy ran third; not wildly appealing at the minute. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
