17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
0-20 since winning the Hilary Needler on debut two seasons ago; hasn't been running at all badly this campaign and today's race represents a welcome ease in grade; another with each-way claims. |

4th 3 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 1-20 but she's been generally consistent this season, including two good efforts at Thirsk (7f/1m, good) in May and a fifth of 19 at York (7f, good to soft) last month; ties in with Oolong Poobong on that latest form and she's in the mix off a sliding mark. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Smart as 2yo but she hasn't quite hit those heights in 2025, albeit facing some tough assignments; dropping down the weights and now tried in cheekpieces but others look safer. |
16/1 |

4 (8) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in Group 3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good to firm) last September; reappeared with fair fifth of 15 in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) in April but has failed to build on that and she needs to raise her game now back up in trip. |
16/1 |
|
6 (3) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In the same ownership as Miss Lamai and finished just in front of that rival when third of 24 in last season's Queen Mary; unplaced in three starts this year but looks to retain all her ability, faring better than the result when sixth in a strong Listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) last month; a big run at rewarding odds can't be ruled out in this her first handicap. |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't been able to recapture the form of her third in the Windsor Castle but it wasn't a bad run at Chester last time and this is her best opportunity for a while. |

3rd 4 (5) |
31st Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Third in the Listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on her third start; not at the same level at Deauville (5f, soft; Listed) and Ascot (6f, good to firm; Group 3) the last twice but she drops back down in grade today and could have a part to play. |

8st 9lb |
Didn't run badly when 2l fourth of six at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) four weeks ago but that's been her best run of the year and this 23-race maiden looks vulnerable once more. |

8st 11lb |
Hasn't really progressed but she was beaten only 2l when fourth in Thirsk nursery (5f, good to firm) this month, and she won a Beverley maiden on good to soft ground; might not be far away. |

C&D winner whose run of steadily progressive efforts came to a halt on nursery debut when upped to 6f; drop back to this trip should suit but vulnerable under a penalty. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Reliable sprinter who has been placed several times since her Bath win in May; back to that winning mark now and Oisin Murphy is booked; solid claims. |

12,000gns foal, 180,000gns 2yo; Havana Grey half-sister to winners Evening Song (6f/7f including 2yo; RPR 77) and Larrsen (1m; 61); dam unplaced 1m in France (72); changed hands for a large sum at the breeze-ups so well worth a market check on debut; stable 1-3 with 2yos so far this season. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch the betting. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par on her last two outings in the spring but may have been ready for a break; won over C&D and at Wolverhampton earlier in the year and she can be in the mix if at the top of her game on this return to action. |
10/1 |

16th 14 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
In good form on the AW early this year, winning over 5f at Southwell and Wolverhampton, but she was well held behind Castan back at Southwell last time and could be vulnerable off her current mark. |

6th 7 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

In fine form since switched to the AW this winter, going in over C&D in February before following up in 5f Wolverhampton handicap 18 days ago; up another 2lb but not taken lightly in her hat-trick bid. |

Bit of a mixed bag lately, getting off the mark at the ninth attempt at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month but failing to beat a rival back there on Monday; enough to prove after that. |

3yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap last month; that was a narrow success but she finished well to justify favouritism and a 3lb rise looks fair enough; key player. |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Won twice at two; narrow winner over 6f at Yarmouth last month on first attempt beyond 5f; will need to raise her game to make an impact here, even though the overall standard is fairly weak for a race in this grade. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned exclusively at 5f, winning twice as a 2yo; however, her efforts in a light 2025 campaign suggest this extra furlong is worth exploring; ran respectably at Sandown (soft) most recently; one to consider. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2yo campaign with two 5f wins and returned with a fine second at Goodwood in May (5f, good); excuses in the 3yo Dash at Epsom when last seen 12 weeks ago; starts out for her new, in-form stable (same ownership) at a realistic level but she will need some luck in running from stall 1. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Reponded well to the fitting of blinkers when winning at Redcar (5f, good) last October, but not matched that form since; also has something to prove over this stiffer 5f. |

4th 2 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Redcar last October (5f, good) off 2lb lower when blinkered for the first time; not quite so good in two runs on the AW since; may need the run on first outing since March. |
