Dual good-ground bumper winner who created pretty good impression when moving clear to win comfortably on hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in January; not sure to be suited by the forecast slower ground here but still commands respect. |

Placed over hurdles for Ben Pauling last year but ultimately became disappointing for him; changed hands after 40l defeat in first-time blinkers in March; goes without headgear on this stable/chase debut. |

Better efforts have been on soft ground and if the rain stays away this will be only her second start on a sound surface; each-way player based on her best form but needs to be much better than her last two starts; tongue-tie removed and blinkers now go on. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won this race readily by over 9l a year ago (good ground) and was placed over C&D on next two outings; returned from break with two down-the-field runs this summer (cheekpieces added last time) but is back on a good mark now and the return to this track is sure to suit. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Always behind at Market Rasen last month, after a break; she's better than that but all her best form is on sharp right-handed tracks, and she probably doesn't want significant rain; sports new cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Her only win was in a Ludlow mares' handicap in October last year (2m5f, good); fair run at Huntingdon last time (May) but likely to improve for this outing after 100-day break. |

11st 6lb |
Unlucky not to win three in a row over 2m4f in the spring (good to firm-good to soft); had to settle for fourth when warm favourite to add to her tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but that certainly wasn't a bad run and she remains open to further progress; respected. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Would have won at Southwell last month had she not come down at the last and successful on either side of that, doing it comfortably here last time under positive tactics; has to take an 8lb rise on the chin but looks progressive. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Has seemingly come on plenty for taking the best part of a year off as she made a winning return at Sedgefield in May and had plenty in hand when taking quite a heavy fall at the last at Southwell (2m4f; good) on Monday; needs to be none the worse on this very quick return. |

3-39 on the Flat, the latest win gained in basement-grade classified last summer, but was pulled up (albeit on heavy ground) when 150-1 for last month's stable/hurdle debut. |
