30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too. |

9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt when dead-heating in a six-runner handicap at Salisbury seven weeks ago (5f, good); 3lb rise could find her out in this deeper race. |

12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
5yo who is 0-8 and has been well held in her last three handicaps (5f, good to firm); mark is tumbling and she may have needed the run at Nottingham last month but others are more convincing. |

25th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best known for her Bath work (ended a losing run in a 0-50 classified event there late last month) but she goes well here too; on the downgrade but arrives in form and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end, so needs considering. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (8) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Snapped a lengthy losing run in a C&D classified race 13 days ago; that's resulted in a 6lb rise but still likely to go well if in similar form. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (10) |
31st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best form on good or quicker ground; three course wins over the extended 5f and 5f; having a mixed year but was only just touched off at Chepstow in June and her luck was out in a C&D classified next time; can be involved. |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Always tended to do best in the second half of the year but has been on the downgrade for a while; didn't build on a fair comeback behind Symbol Of Hope in the spring last time. |

15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Always tended to do best in the second half of the year but he's adaptable regarding ground and is well treated now; offered enough behind Media Guest on his recent comeback here (lost both front shoes) to suggest he's worth a look. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice over 6f on turf last summer; not seen to best effect on her return to AW six weeks ago; others appeal more. |

5 (12) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Best known as a sprinter; looked as good as ever when scoring over 6f two starts ago and her fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) suggests she can see out 1m but, nevertheless, specialist milers appeal more. |
8/1 |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Chepstow (6f soft) when back on turf in June and followed up at Leicester (6f, good) in July, again finishing well from a long way off the pace; not sure to be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground here but still respected in current mood. |
