11st 0lb |
Defied top weight in Class 4 handicap at Market Rasen last time, taking chase record to 3-6; she's 2-2 at Perth but this looks a difficult task; first run beyond 2m5f under rules. |

16th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Winner of a Listed bumper here; has won only a maiden and two handicaps over hurdles but she ran well against male opposition in a Grade 2 at Kempton 19 days ago despite racing freely, as is her way; this bigger field will suit but she looks up against it on the figures and she seems ideally suited by good ground. |
33/1 |

2nd 6 |
25th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Did well in bumpers last term and registered a hat-trick over hurdles (Plumpton, Fakenham and Ludlow) in the autumn, the last two legs of which were in handicaps; while she did not come near to justifying favouritism in Cheltenham handicap 11 weeks ago when last seen, she was not discredited; this test could suit and she's one to consider. |

9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Progressive mare whose recent hat-trick came at sharp tracks but she handles Cheltenham, having performed well in two good-ground bumpers here (including Listed win) last term; respected under 7lb penalty for last week's ready success at Ludlow; future mark 1lb higher. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has a strike rate of 5-12 over hurdles but hasn't been seen since a below-par third at Ludlow in December; needs to raise her game to new heights having never won off a mark this high, but still commands respect. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick over hurdles for this yard in October 2022 and second leg was over C&D (good to firm); placed several times on the Flat since and she returned from long absence with respectable effort at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; that was her first run since rejoining Fergal O'Brien and she looks interesting off dangerous mark back over hurdles. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Completed a hat-trick over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien in October 2022 and returns to her former trainer after 15 months off having been placed in five of her last six starts on the Flat (0-18) for Ralph Smith; the market should indicate what is expected. |

Not totally disgraced when fifth of eight on hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in July but beaten a very long way at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) on Saturday; best watched for now. |

Multiple 7f/1m winner down the years; stays this trip but she has plenty to prove starting out for a new stable after a 755-day absence. |
