13th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a handicap chase over 3m here in April 2025; fair form over fences last season (third over 3m here in April) and could go well on first hurdles run since February 2025; cheekpieces now tried. |

Won this race in first-time blinkers off a pound lower mark 12 months ago (good to soft); hasn't run quite as well in three starts this season and now tried in a visor; a possible. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Better could have been expected at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month but a case can be made on her earlier form, with a win at Perth (3m, good to soft) last April and an encouraging second on her comeback at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) in February; not written off. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Never got into it on stable debut over hurdles at Newcastle last month; however, that was her first outing since March 2024 and she may have needed it; this point, bumper and novice hurdle winner could go well on her first chase start if tapping back into her old ability. |
10/1 |

23rd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Interesting on some of her bumper form as wasn't far behind Larchmont Lass in a Listed race at Sandown; the form of her Carlisle win (2m3f, soft; Drumlee Spud third) carries substance but now has to rebound from a poor run at Doncaster (well behind Baby Shally). |

2nd Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |

Gamely beat Lunar Discovery at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last month on third run for new stable; worse off with that rival but could well improve further over this longer distance, being a point winner who has some 3m winners in pedigree; shortlisted. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Point winner; placed in Aintree bumper (close second; form has substance) and Lingfield maiden hurdle (third over 2m3f) under rules; all starts on good to soft ground; holds solid claims judged on record thus far. |
5/1 |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Half-sister to smart pair Embittered and Precious Cargo; 8l winner of a point bumper (2m, good to soft) in March; narrow defeat when 10-1 for 11-runner bumper at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) last month, travelling well before hanging left, confirmed that she has plenty of ability. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who completed the set in a 2m3f Wetherby handicap chase (good to soft) last winter; not seen since a below-par third over fences at Market Rasen last April; lower mark back hurdling but got to be a chance she'll need this after nearly a year off. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

In the frame five consecutive times since switched to chasing this year, most notably when winning by 18l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in January; should also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; likely contender again. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when keeping-on third over C&D (good to soft) in April but last month's Uttoxeter run was a backward step and she's now 0-9 over hurdles; others preferred. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Went with renewed vim fitted with cheekpieces at Bangor last month (retained here), that additionally representing her best effort yet on good to soft under rules; replication of previous efforts on this even quicker going won't suffice. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Best of four runs came on good ground when third in a Uttoxeter maiden in October 2022; two modest runs (soft) either side of wind surgery since returning from an absence but this is her handicap debut and the yard is going very well. |
8/1 |

3rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Tailed off here (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day on first encounter with slow ground; however, that was her first run after an absence and she's had wind surgery since; promising third on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in October 2022 and she's not written off. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Made debut on Boxing Day and has finished no better than seventh across her three starts; however, she makes her handicap debut off a basement mark and a closer inspection of her pedigree provides some hope she'll be capable of better than she's shown thus far; one to watch in the betting. |
10/1 |

25th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Improved form when 20l seventh of 14 at Newcastle (2m1f, soft) recently on second start but needs another big step forward today. |
