5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three 2yo wins last year, including C&D novice (good to soft) and Deauville Listed (5f, very soft); she's been a fair fifth in Listed races on her two starts this year (heavy/good to firm) but needs something extra now making her first handicap start off a lofty mark. |

5th 9 (1) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins as a 2yo, notably a Listed win in France last August (5f, very soft; Gaenari back in second); fifth of 12 in a Chantilly Listed race on her return in March (5.5f, heavy); stable can do little wrong at present but it could be that she would prefer slower ground. |

27th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made a promising start to her career last summer and it's possible her time off may have helped; however, she struggled on her final four runs last year and very much needs to turn things around on this reappearance. |

9th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins last summer (7f/7.4f) and she's below her last winning mark; a couple of fair efforts in the first half of this spring but two lesser performances have followed and she has to raise her game. |
8/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten at Redcar last Monday when reportedly hanging right-handed throughout; however, she posted two good efforts previously (including over C&D) and could be thereabouts if swiftly back on song. |

5f Tapeta winner in autumn but tailed off following a slow start here in November; back on track returned to Southwell last time (fourth won next time) but not certain to back that up. |

28th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Poor shows in her two nurseries, posting a particularly anonymous effort at Beverley last week (5f, heavy); stable send out a much stronger alternative in Zaphea. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f scorer in 2025; hinted at a revival when sixth of 13 in 8.5f handicap at Beverley nine days ago, finishing well from a poor draw; very much one to consider. |
7/1 |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Respectable fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time, with reappearance under her belt; has form over C&D but the forecast ground isn't ideal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
14/1 |

More tractable nowadays but yet to see out her races all that well, including returned to this trip on her nursery debut last time. |

11th 7 (5) |
17th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Getting better with each run and beaten only 4l when seventh of nine in 6f AW novice last time; enjoyed the run of the race in front but the drop back to 5f could be a plus; might be in the mix on nursery debut. |
12/1 |

3rd Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Took a step in the right direction when sixth at Beverley last time but didn't show enough to suggest she'll be posing a threat here. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Close fifth over 7f at Newcastle in November but never landed a blow when filling the same position over C&D since; first-time headgear needs to have sharpening effect. |

5th 12 (7) |
22nd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-7 and not progressing but her latest effort at Newcastle can be upgraded as she made a big move having been switched left 2f out, those efforts taking their toll late; not bred to sprint but worth another crack at 6f. |

Soundly beaten over C&D both starts (varying ground), failing to finish in front of a single rival at 100-1 last time; safe to look elsewhere. |
100/1 |

10th 6 (8) |
18th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Well related but started a big price for her C&D debut recently and needed the experience, finishing a long way behind Lady Nunthorpe and Queens Road Revue; remains best watched. |
