dwelt start, towards rear, pushed along halfway, raced wide on turn over 2f out, keeping on but still plenty to do inside final furlong, ran on well to lead towards finish |

13th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't progress in four runs for Roger Varian (all 5f, AW); last of four on her stable/turf debut at Newmarket in June; edging down the weights but the new trip needs to give her a lift (could do with settling better). |
12/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
23rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A refusal to settle held her back in her four starts for Roger Varian, including her handicap debut at Newcastle when last seen in January; tongue-tied on first run for Stuart Williams; still has time to fulfil her potential. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent in sprint novice events, most recently fourth at Wolverhampton; in good hands and looks open to progress now handicapping at an ordinary level; one to consider. |
3/1 |

4th 8 (4) |
26th Dec 2022 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Has shown ability in two starts over 6f four months apart, including when fourth of seven at Chelmsford (Polytrack) 18 days ago; will need to improve over this shorter trip to bother a few of these, though. |
16/1 |
|
4th 10 (6) |
8th Dec 2022 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Just 3-1 for her Windsor debut in August (6f, good to firm) when she was far too green to do herself justice, eventually beaten over 5l into fifth; no surprise to see her leave that effort well behind her today. |

26th Dec 2022 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Placed twice on the AW, including when a close third of eight in a C&D maiden on her penultimate start, but beaten a very long way at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) six days ago (Megan Moon second); others are much more persuasive. |

9th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Finished last of six, beaten 14l, in 5f contest here on Boxing Day but attracted some support and is evidently thought capable of better; the experience may bring her on. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
26th Dec 2022 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Picked up for £9,000 last month; half-sister to winners Shrewd Approach (7f 2yo; 72), Gossip (5f AW; 66), Valley Belle (5.5f-8.5f 2yo/Italy; 60) and Sharac (US 5.5f AW); dam 6f-7.5f winner (102) out of 1m winner; the only newcomer in the field and interesting to see how she fares in the market. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dropped in the weights and much more competitive in recent starts, second at Chelmsford and Southwell before finishing third behind Sturlasson back at Southwell two weeks ago; better off at the weights with that rival today but might not reverse the placings. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Her losing run goes back more than a year but she's been running well of late and confirmed her liking for this C&D when losing out narrowly to a well-treated rival (pair well clear) last week; solid claims. |
11/4 |
|
1 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights this year and she returned to form with a good second at Chelmsford last month (ran without the declared tongue-tie); back up 2lb but still well treated on last season's best; C&D winner; considered. |
6/1 |
