24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Last of three wins over hurdles was over 2m4f here (heavy; has also won on good) in July 2023 when she was left clear; confined to only two runs in the meantime and now returns from mammoth absence; likely best watched. |

20th Apr 2023 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Came from off the pace for clearcut success at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and is now 3-4 in handicaps; another 7lb higher here but good ground also suits and she might still be improving; must be considered. |
6/1 |

1st 8 |
19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Improved for the switch to handicap hurdles, getting off the mark at Leicester in December and following that with a narrow defeat of Ucanaver at Southwell ten days later; unable to complete the hat-trick at Newcastle in January but stepping up in trip should be of benefit to this winning pointer. |
8/1 |

5th 2 |
31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Fended off a late challenge at Southwell (2m, good) last month and is now 2-2 since switched to handicap hurdles; should be fine on today's slower ground and her latest 4lb rise looks manageable; obvious contender. |

Veteran who has done her winning at Wincanton; form dipped there on Boxing Day, following two placed efforts; first run at Kempton and isn't the percentage call. |

8th Nov 2022 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Improvement when scoring on second start over hurdles (Fontwell, 2m1f novice; good; reversed earlier form with the runner-up); jumped right throughout when less effective in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Warwick subsequently; the switch to a right-handed track should assist. |

jumped right throughout, chased leader, led before 4th, not fluent 4th, soon increased tempo, pushed along and joined 2 out, ridden and headed approaching last, weakened quickly run-in, lost third towards finish (jockey said mare jumped right-handed) |

10st 11lb |
Opened her account with a 7l success at Worcester (2m, good) last month when having only her second handicap attempt; may have more to offer at this sort of level; respected off 8lb higher in a weak affair. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has lost her way since winning over C&D last March but she's back to a similar mark now and her latest run here on ground softer than ideal was a step back in the right direction; considered. |

Quickly lost her way after finishing first (subsequently demoted to second) on seasonal/chase debut in October and again struggled when reverted to hurdling last month; now only 2lb higher than when winning this race a year ago (good to soft) but it takes a leap of faith to support her. |

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. |
