21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Suited by good/firmer; 0-7 since winning last year's Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f); however, went close at Nottingham (6f) last week, returning to her best form; possibilities off the same mark provided she takes well to first-time headgear. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won this on good to soft in 2024 and also close second in C&D Group 2 on good to firm last year; reappeared with Listed win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in May; eased off as if amiss (got upset in stalls) in Royal Ascot Group 1 since but turns out again three weeks later and will have a big say if back near her best. |
7/2 |
|
18th 16 (13) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Third in this race last year (good to firm) and also in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) in September; reappeared with Listed win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month and that form has been franked by the runner-up Rosy Affair; each-way player. |
16/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Group 3 winner in July 2024; campaigned mostly at Group 1 level since, making the frame on several occasions, most recently in the 2025 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) where she did well having met trouble; leading player back down in class. |

18th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Well held in the Queen Mary; beaten favourite at Sandown back down in grade, taking record to 0-4 and having no answer to Miaharris's finishing kick; opposed. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
26th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All starts over 5f on good/firmer; placed in maiden at Thirsk and the Hilary Needler at Beverley prior to facing a stiff task at Royal Ascot where she was comfortably held; her first two efforts set the standard back down in class. |
5/6 |
|
20th 26 (25) |
21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Third to Midnight Affair and Flora Of Bermuda at Beverley and, unlike those two, she enjoyed a trouble-free passage; vulnerable. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Successful in 1m fillies' handicaps at this course in May and Goodwood in August; last two efforts suggests she remains in form but a career-best performance is needed off current mark. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
13th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
No match for Asteverdi at Sandown in June but C&D winner (good to soft) in August and a solid third behind one who has since outgrown handicaps over 1m at Ascot in September; fairly exposed now but this lesser test might suit better; not far away. |

Bits of form that give her a squeak but she's disappointed the last twice; stable has stronger claims with So Grateful. |

16-race maiden; fair effort over C&D last month but she couldn't back it up at Wolverhampton ten days ago; eyeshields left off this time. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year, who ran well when seventh of 24 in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last week; she's below her last winning mark and has strong claims back down in grade. |
4/1 |
|
7th 21 (15) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; now 2lb lower than for that success, but she took her turf record to 0-11 when only sixth of 11 at Chester (extended 1m2f) last time; this is more her trip but she's still hard to make a case for. |
80/1 |

6th 12 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; back off the same mark as for that success, but she is 0-10 on turf and has never attempted this far before. |

21st Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Seemingly back in good form when third over C&D in July but two very disappointing runs (8.6f/7f) have followed; dangerously well handicapped now but a very hard filly to predict; visor removed after one use. |
12/1 |
|
10th 3 (9) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins on Tapeta last year including one over C&D; third of eight (again over C&D) last month, but failed to beat a rival over 8.6f back here last time; return to this trip should suit and 8lb below her last winning mark, but not quite sure what to expect; visor given a go. |
9/1 |
|
13th 12 (6) |
1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won three times on Tapeta last year including twice at this track (6f/7f); quiet after returning in April, but put up a better performance when third of eight back here (7f) last month; down another 1lb, but is still to fully convince over this far. |

|
3rd 3 (8) |
24th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Well held in two starts since winning a Brighton maiden (6f, good) last month, albeit she was up against it when fifth of ten in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy (6f, good; 100-1) last time; well held in only previous AW start over C&D in August so she does have something to prove. |
11/1 |
|
5th 11 (9) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
8st 3lb |
Sole success in eight starts came in a very winnable maiden over 6f at Brighton (good); well beaten in a C&D nursery since then and very much up against it in a race of this nature. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won 5f Catterick maiden as a 2yo; has struggled in handicaps for more than a year but the drop to this grade could help and first-time cheekpieces may also assist. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Much lower in the weights than when making the frame in her first three starts last year, but that's for a good reason with her form in four outings for this yard since last November decidedly moderate; look elsewhere. |
16/1 |
|
12th 5 (8) |
16th Jul 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Big prices and well held in three runs for this stable since November; returns from four months off with enough to prove. |
