11st 11lb |
2-6 over hurdles (both wins on good); stays 2m3f; arrives on the back of a career best when second at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; up 1lb; likely player if handling soft ground. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who made it 2-5 over hurdles when winning at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in October on her second handicap start; she's in a deeper race here but is just 1lb higher and could have more to offer. |

She's 7lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las in April 2023 for Alastair Ralph but that's her sole win from 17 rules attempts and she's been absent since tailing off at Fakenham last April; makes stable debut. |

21st Nov 2022 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Finished well to be a close third at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in her second handicap a month ago but fared less well when no better than sixth at Uttoxeter on Sunday (2m4f, soft; easy to back at 12-1); returning to drier terrain may help if she is turned out again. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; has won over hurdles and fences but she needs to get back on track. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
2-31 over hurdles (soft/heavy) but the losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; the latest of those came at Hereford just eight days ago and she's out of the weights again. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (about 2m7f) and once over fences (2m4f) in Feburary 2025, all in the mud; beaten at least 20l on all completions this season, she's opposable despite her fall in the weights. |

Formerly with Alexandra Dunn; showed some promise over hurdles in 2022 but well below that form last year; back after a long break with plenty to prove from 4lb out of the handicap on stable debut. |

0-8 over hurdles and 0-13 overall; travelled well for a long way at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) in June but was on the back foot when falling at penultimate flight there, and was safely held here 12 days ago; tries a new trip today; 5lb out of the weights. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Early summer has always tended to be her time of year but she's regressed in recent times, is into the veteran stage and entitled to need this after seven months off; others hold more pressing claims. |
