5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came good over hurdles at ninth attempt, keeping on well for Daniel Williams at Hereford (2m3f, good) last month; only 3lb higher here and further progress is possible; respected. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Went close in a 2m course handicap (good to soft) off just 1lb lower last winter; weakened approaching the last as if probably just needing her first outing for 11 months when fourth over an extended 2m4f at Southwell 33 days ago; should be spot on now. |

0-7 over hurdles; returned to form with close/clear second at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in December 2024, after a break, but not quite at same level at Doncaster last March and absent for another 11 months since. |

Lightly raced 5yo who has run okay when fifth the last twice but hasn't been shaping as though a first win is imminent. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

Debatable what she achieved when beaten 15l in an AW bumper and especially after then finishing tailed off on soft at Taunton; hurdling debut. |

Didn't shape too badly in an AW bumper in November (beaten 15l) but still not easily recommended. |

13th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Wasn't beaten far in the second of three bumpers, at Huntingdon in October, and flew too high in a Listed Doncaster race in December; unraced on slower than good to soft and likely best watched on hurdle debut. |
25/1 |

15th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Half-sister to the stable's classy Lookaway; well beaten in February and perhaps flattered off a modest pace when under 5l away back at Huntingdon in October (behind two of these); now tongue tied; others would appear to have more going for them. |

£5,000 5yo; fourth foal; closely related to 3m hurdle winner Teescomponentstrig, half-sister to 2m4f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Fenland Tiger; dam placed bumper/2m5f hurdle; stablemate of Dropitlikeitshot and she looks a longer-term prospect. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won a mares' maiden at Market Rasen (2m, good) last April; runner-up in first two handicaps during the winter but she's been disappointing in last two runs; bit to prove but mark is sliding and she's had wind surgery since her latest effort at Fontwell last month; not ruled out. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |

Absent since slightly disappointing run at Aintree on Boxing Day but returned from break with two good seconds over 2m4f in the autumn (good/soft) and has good claims if back at that level here. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Creditable sixth of 15 in Grade 2 novices' handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good) in March and rallied well to snatch narrow win in Market Rasen maiden (2m, good) last month; leading contender. |
13/8 |
Verdict
Stoutly bred filly The Secret Pearl is respected after finishing second in a big field on soft turf last month, while By The Grace represents a top stable and has been placed on both starts. However, it might be worth chancing STORM SPIRIT, who disappointed on turf in March but made a promising debut on this surface at Newcastle in February.[Chris Wilson]
