23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten over hurdes here on last month's stable debut but kept on well for clear second behind Of Corse I Can over C&D (good) when back over fences three weeks ago and will be suited by the forecast slower ground today; respected. |

Won 3m2f chase here for Gary Brown in 2023 but absent since pulled up in C&D hurdle just over a year ago; probably best watched on stable debut; tongue-tie refitted. |

Kept on well for second over C&D (heavy) in April, her second run after a long absence; will be fine on today's much faster ground but her form has slumped badly in recent weeks. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Kept on well for second over C&D (heavy) in April, her second run after a long absence, and will be fine on today's much faster ground but has questions to answer after two disappointing runs at Fontwell last month. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on well for clear second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, heavy) last month, her second run after a long absence, and will be fine on the faster ground here but was behind a couple of today's rivals when well-held sixth over C&D 18 days ago and, on balance, others appeal more; 1lb out of the weights. |

10st 8lb |
Belatedly off the mark under rules with hard-fought success at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) in October and also ran well when second over same C&D (soft) the following month; has fitness to prove after 169-day break, though, and others in this line-up appeal more. |

1st Sep 2023 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Had very modest 1-21 strike-rate in Irish points and is 0-9 under rules but hasn't been with Laura Morgan long and ran better than eventual 19l defeat might suggest when a weakening sixth at Stratford (3m3f, good) last week; 5lb lower here; not out of this. |

1-21 in Irish points and she's not achieved much in her seven runs under rules; finished tailed off on her chase/stable debut at Southwell (2m4f) last month and was pulled up back over hurdles last time; others preferred. |

Placed off 1lb higher at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January but the rest of last season's form was disappointing and this is first start since February; others have much stronger claims. |

1st Sep 2023 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Winning pointer who made the frame in two novice hurdles in July (2m4f/2m5f); remains very unexposed under rules and is open to significant improvement now upped in trip for handicap/chase debut; tongue-tie fitted. |

Closely related to useful chaser Mystical Knight; won good-ground maiden point on British debut in May 2022 but managed only third when upped to restricted level in November; probably best watched on rules debut. |
