Disappointing favourite returned to chasing last time, extending her losing run; nicely treated on best form but chance largely depends on how well she responds to new headgear. |

Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |

Found a warm Haydock class 2 stayers' handicap a step too far last month (22l last of nine), breaking a run of place finishes dating back to the autumn; races off her last winning mark back down in class. |

Never better than when placed under Cameron Johnstone-Baker at Ascot (2m7f), Kempton (3m, again on good) and Warwick (3m2f, good to soft; behind Super Survivor) on last three outings; a bit extra is needed to win this warm race. |

10st 10lb |
Not much to show for her career to date but attracted support when tailed off at Wincanton two months ago; wind surgery since and bred to appreciate this longer trip; lot to prove but worth noting on handicap debut for yard which excels at this venue. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Not unsupported (12-1 into 17-2) when completing the course for the first time in three runs latest, albeit beaten 60l; opposable, for all her initial mark looks in line with last winter's peak efforts. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Showed no significant promise at triple-digit odds in three qualifying runs (1m7f-2m5f) and is 12lb out of the weights for today's handicap debut; sports first-time cheekpieces; considered only if lively in the betting. |

11st 12lb |
Had been vulnerable in handicaps this year but she ran better at Stratford two starts ago and there was nothing wrong with her attitude when a narrow winner over C&D (good) in June; has gone back up 4lb but in good heart and likely to go well. |

20th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Revelation in a hurdles run (soft) and on Flat (good) in spring 2022, form backed up when she was next seen taking fifth of 21 in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good) in October; the latter shows she needs better off the same mark today; returned to form in latest hurdles start (April) and is now in foal, so this is scheduled to be her last race. |

20th Apr 2023 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
50-1 runner-up in a 2m1f Grade 2 at last season's Festival, after which she further raised her profile with two Flat wins and a fifth in the Cesarewitch; reportedly bled on reappearance and she could finish only tenth back in that same Grade 2 last month; remains a maiden over hurdles and Nico De Boinville turns elsewhere. |

16th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

Returned from a similar absence when a 50-1 runner-up in this 12 months ago, since when she has further raised her profile with two Flat wins and a good fifth in the Cesarewitch; reported to have bled from the nose when pulled up behind Endless Escape on return to jumping and, if back to anything like her best, she could make the frame again. |

Went close on her hurdling debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last November but she's had only three runs since and has been well held in a novice and handicap in last two starts; still very lightly raced but she needs to get back on track at this new trip; cheekpieces added. |

Unexposed mare who went close in Wincanton maiden (1m7f, good) on hurdling debut last November and was running a big race before coming to grief over that C&D on Boxing Day; didn't fire on latest outing in February but probably still has potential. |

Unlucky at Wincanton on Boxing Day (going best when unseating rider two out) but was only a modest third on latest start, which isn't ideal going into this warmer race; now 0-5. |

27th Jan 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |

Half-sister to useful jumper Fancy Foundations; hooded and held up when promising second in Southwell bumper last May; was the clear pacesetter when switched to hurdling at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft; 14-1) on Boxing Day but she had steering issues and ran out around the home turn; comes with risks attached after that; interesting to see how she figures in the market. |
