12th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 for Ralph Beckett and four defeats for this yard, albeit she ran her best race for a while when second at Lingfield (extended 1m3f, good to firm) 11 days ago; left the impression a stronger pace there would have suited and she's not out of this. |

15th May 2023 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Cheekpieces enlisted for her two minor honours on AW this year; goes well on softer than good and probably stays 1m4f; stable has had winners this month but this filly's 0-11 record is a nagging worry. |

28th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well held in her first three starts and failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) nine days ago; her stamina seemed to desert her there and the return to this trip may help, but others are higher up the list. |
25/1 |

11th 10 (10) |
19th Nov 2022 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Well held in three maiden/novice events (1m3f/1m4f) since August but this is more realistic on handicap debut and she's a half-sister to a 1m6f winner; possible improver upped in trip and she's one to keep an eye on. |

1st 4 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Landed her seventh win when scoring at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but has run below par at Ripon and Musselburgh since; the step back in trip is also unlikely to play to her strengths. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed hat-trick last August and hit the target at Pontefract two runs ago (all 1m2f); follow-up effort at Ripon, where she's won three times, was bitterly disappointing 13 days ago and her favoured hold-up tactics aren't easy to execute around here. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All of her seven turf wins have been on good/good to firm but she's effective on good to soft; well held in first three runs this season but she got back on the scoresheet with a strong finish at Pontefract (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but she's 3-6 over C&D and she defied this mark here last summer; key player. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner over this trip in Britain; pulled up on both runs over hurdles for this yard; last of 14 over 1m here last month; passed over. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 145y |
11st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner with a win apiece on AW and turf for Heather Main; didn't show a lot in his sole hurdles start at Newbury in January last year when none too fluent in the jumping department; off since April last year and now making stable debut. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
21st Apr 2024 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two 1m4f Flat wins, latterly in clearcut style from the front at Newbury (soft) last July; two backward steps on AW late in the year and his hurdling debut in January wasn't great, but he needs a second look. |
