11yo mare who has not won in over two years and was tailed off at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; others are preferred. |

A dual course scorer but this veteran mare came in last of five in 2m Lingfield handicap last month; others are preferred. |

Not lasting out over longer trips this term, so return to 2m makes sense, but it's over five years since she was last able to win outside mares-only company; 6lb out of the weights. |

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. |

Two good efforts from the front on last two starts in 2m maiden hurdles, at Stratford and Warwick (both on good to soft); has a big weight to carry on handicap debut and lack of a run since May is not ideal. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Competitive on the Flat and over hurdles for Tim Vaughan since the autumn but was not at her best on latest appearance 18 days ago and others in this line-up have much stronger claims. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Fairly consistent (albeit without winning) on the Flat and over hurdles for Tim Vaughan since the autumn; dropped another 1lb since this month's Ffos Las fourth (2m, good); could have a say in this. |

10st 6lb |
0-13 over hurdles for Tom Symonds, having signed off with two disappointing runs in the spring, but now 1lb lower than for creditable third of 13 at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in March; changed hands for £13,000 in May and it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with her. |

27th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Consistent in handicaps this spring, making the frame for the third consecutive time when close up over C&D (good to soft; handles heavy) 18 days ago; likely to have a say again. |

3rd 13 |
9th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden; made the frame on both starts last month, more recently when third of 14 here (2m5f, soft), but needs to find something extra today; 1lb out of the handicap. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

Jumping to her right and looked out of sorts at Southwell in June but was in good form on right-handed tracks beforehand, winning at Taunton (2m5f, soft) and finishing second over C&D (good); back on a clockwise course today and a big player if back on song after her break. |

13th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Came good over fences at third attempt, with clearcut win from the front at Taunton (2m5f, soft) in March; 8lb rise asks quite a lot of her here but the longer trip might unlock further improvement and she should be fine if the ground stays good. |

0-16 under rules (including eight chase runs) but came second over hurdles here (2m5f, good) in April and also ran very well in eventful C&D chase won by Ryder's Rock in May; 5lb wrong today but not out of this if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

Won off a similar mark on turf (2m) in August, but she's run some ordinary races on the AW since finishing close up at Kempton in January 2024 and recent hurdle efforts raise questions about her current form. |

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. |
