Won twice on Polytrack last year under contrasting tactics (7f/1m); one good run this season (at 1m2f) divides two poor ones and trainer turns to blinkers. |

10th Nov 2022 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time turf winner who has finished runner-up in both starts over C&D since debuting on the AW last month; only failed by a short head last time (third horse won at Wolverhampton on Monday) and although 3lb higher, she has to be respected having again been handed a good draw. |

9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D scorer but she came in a below-par fifth of 12 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 16 days ago; she could bounce back though with Oisin Murphy now up. |
4/1 |
|
8 (13) |
23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who has gained all six wins over 7f/1m on the AW; back off her last winning mark and probably needed her Kempton return 12 days ago after 405 days off, but she will need plenty to go right from the outside stall. |
12/1 |
|
12 (8) |
11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All six wins have been on AW including over C&D; only 1lb higher than for her last success but she returns after 405 days off and this is competitive on her comeback; down the list. |

28th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Strike-rate is only 1-14 but she's a consistent 3yo filly who could well double her tally at some stage; not beaten far when joint-favourite for a C&D event three starts ago; solid chance. |

23rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Her last three wins have come over this trip at Yarmouth, the latest of them off 5lb higher 14 months ago; ignore her reappearance (blindfold off late) and a better run is on the cards today. |
12/1 |

7 (5) |
14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Her last three wins have come over C&D, the latest of them 14 months ago off a 5lb higher mark; blindfold slow to be removed and always on the back foot on her recent reappearance here; easy to strike a line through that and better expected this time. |
10/1 |

1st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Handy sort who hasn't been seen in 222 days, but was winning for the third time over this C&D when making a successful return in April of last year; 3lb lower now and given that she is proven fresh a big run wouldn't surprise. |

9th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Went desperately close over C&D on her handicap debut in May (well backed); hasn't built on that since, including after a wind op last time; on a dangerous mark if the return to Kempton and the addition of accessories has a positive effect. |
10/1 |

ducked right start, held up in last, going okay but still plenty to do over 2f out, shaken up under 2f out, pushed along over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, too much to do |

23rd Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all in a maiden at Beverley last June and she's also effective on Tapeta; however, she hasn't gone on from her summer win and needs to find something extra now back from a break in first-time headgear. |
10/1 |
|
14th 7 (2) |
9th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
The handicapper has been on top since her maiden win at Beverley in June; pulled up at Chelmsford last month (reportedly took a false step turning into the home straight); a career best is required. |
20/1 |
|
5 (8) |
8th Oct 2022 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

ducked right start, soon recovered and prominent on outer, went second over 6f out, lost second and prominent 4f out, ridden and lost position 3f out, lost touch and well behind when pulled up over 1f out (jockey said filly took a false step turning into the home straight) |
