14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
On the rise for previous yard in late 2023, winning back-to-back at Uttoxeter (maiden) and Fontwell (novice); mostly disappointing over fences (0-5), pulling up at Huntingdon in January when last seen; back to hurdles from fair mark on first start for Olly Murphy; consult the market. |

11st 4lb |
No further successes since beating Batwomen by a neck in a Fontwell mares' novice hurdle in December 2023 (2m3f, heavy); mixed signals over fences of late as to whether this step up to 3m is needed, and cheekpieces wrought no improvement from her on one previous application. |

Dual hurdle winner on heavy ground; the writing was on the wall a long way from home when last of the four behind Mighty Moth on her chase debut at Lingfield; cheekpieces are now enlisted. |

12st 0lb |
Won a novice here (2m, soft) last July; has been below her best in two valuable handicaps at Newbury and Ayr this spring; this is back in calmer waters but she still needs to show more. |

20th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Pulled up on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month but she's much better than that, having finished second to a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in January; there's stamina in her pedigree and this lightly raced 8yo is not written off now up in trip. |

Showed nothing in two bumpers following a long absence but there had been some promise in an Irish point (April 2022) and she now returns after another wind operation with a hood added; might yet do better. |

10st 10lb |
Beaten about 43l on hurdling debut just under a year ago and has form-figures of PRP in the meantime; however, she put in a pretty good front-running shift before tiring over 2m5f on her latest outing and today's drop back in trip looks the right move on her handicap debut; worth a second look. |

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. |

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). |
33/1 |

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. |
