19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
1-3 over hurdles last season but has yet to make an impact in handicaps after three starts, albeit she didn't enjoy a clear passage at Ludlow latest; down another 2lb and easy to make a case for on the pick of her hurdles form; interesting on chase debut. |
8/1 |

12th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Warwick in October before chasing home the very classy Favour And Fortune at Hereford (2m, good), after which she didn't appear to stay 2m3f; back over 2m for handicap debut after a break at Huntingdon last month, she only lost out on the places on the run-in; might well strip fitter for that; respected. |

Unexposed after only four hurdling starts and shaped very much as though today's longer trip might suit when keeping on well for fourth of 15 on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in January; high on the list. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Scored by 5l here (2m5f, good) in May and has remained in good form since (2m3f-2m7f); not yet proven on ground slower than good to soft or over this far but still features prominently in calculations. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May and has been a good second on two of her three starts since (2m3f/2m4f, good; including here); unproven at today's trip but this lightly raced 6yo has stamina in her pedigree and is open to further improvement for her top trainer; key player. |

15th Jan 2024 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Made quite a promising hurdle debut for Chris Gordon in the autumn but beaten about 35l on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good to soft); ought to be suited by today's step up in trip but needs to take a big step forward on first start for new stable. |

One win (in a match) from 11 point starts; very respectable fourth on rules debut at Warwick (2m, good) in October but didn't build on that performance on next two outings; improvement needed on handicap debut. |

Eight-race maiden who was pulled up at Hereford last time but she looks interesting on her close call in a Taunton handicap (2m, soft) in January; has claims if she can bounce back after wind surgery and yard is in decent form; cheekpieces added. |

There was some promise before she went down by only a neck on her handicap debut at Taunton (2m, soft); not a given on pedigree that this longer trip will suit but she's only 4lb higher than last time and probably improving. |

Placed in slowly run Stratford novice (2m, good to firm) in July and reportedly lost her action when pulled up on handicap debut there later that month; not one of her stable's stars but remains unexposed. |

Behind Flight Of Freedom when sixth in Cheltenham bumper in April then was placed in a lesser event at Fontwell (good) the following month; not the most obvious answer today but worth keeping an eye on with the future in mind. |

Resolute winner of a soft-ground bumper at Fakenham last April; has kept a low profile in two completions over hurdles but she's on a plater's mark and is surely capable of better at this modest level. |

Runner-up at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) last month and perhaps the race came too soon when fourth to Dillarchie at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) eight days later; probably okay on good ground; might not be far away. |

28th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Seventh foal; half-sister to six winners including Xcitations (useful 2m hurdle/chase), Actinpieces (useful 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase) and Mortens Leam (useful 2m3f-2m5f chase); watching brief is probably best. |
