25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Creditable second of 15 at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) just under a year ago but not seen again until a heavy defeat in December, and absent for 160 days since; considered only if lively in betting. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came good with two wins in November (2m1f/1m7f); returned from break with two low-key runs this spring but remains unexposed over 2m4f and James King is an interesting jockey booking. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
0-12; has run the occasional good race in defeat and her debut for this yard when backed into 7-2 favourite at Killarney (2m7f, yielding) wasn't a bad effort; not discounted. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

0-16 and has tried fences; kept plodding on when a 10l fourth in 2m4f hurdle at Southwell and she's worth another go over this far. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Now 0-15 under rules after twice finishing tailed off over fences; was second over hurdles at Leicester in November when 7lb higher so can't be ruled out with a tongue-tie joining cheekpieces, especially with Sean Bowen up top. |

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. |

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 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

Dual Flat winner but 0-9 over hurdles, although fair run last time when 2l third at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm; tongue-tie back on); 4lb lower than when fourth in this race last season; each-way chance. |

Belied 50-1 odds when second to dual subsequent winner on stable/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and had excuse when pulled up last month (irregular heartbeat); can make presence felt if all is well here. |
