11st 10lb |
Record is only 1-21 and her handicap form is unconvincing; however, last two efforts (2m4f) suggest this combination of new trip and new headgear may help. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual novice winner for previous yard; building up some momentum for this one after beating all bar an improver at Bangor (2m7f, good); considered. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; struggled in first three runs for current yard but she showed signs of a revival when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last Saturday; was no match for the first two in that race but her mark continues to fall and she looks worth another try at this trip; could be dangerous. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; rather disappointing since, including on her three starts for this yard after wind surgery last season (pulled up over fences last time); bit to prove. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good over fences at sixth attempt, with 3m success here (heavy) in January, and ran as well as could have been expected when fourth of five in Wincanton Listed race (1m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; still on a good mark; good chance. |
15/8 |

14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point/bumper winner, who made the breakthrough over fences at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) two weeks ago but that was a minor handicap and she has lots to find back at 2m in this Listed race. |
20/1 |
|
1st 5 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Commenced her career with point/bumper wins; 0-17 since (0-5 in chases) but has a largely consistent record at Ffos Las and looks a solid contender in that respect; on a reduced mark and drops back in grade. |

11st 5lb |
No more than minor promise in four runs for Lucinda Russell and took a backward step on her handicap debut a month ago at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; 28-1); wouldn't be the obvious answer to this. |

7th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Blue Bresil mare who has hinted at promise in her three runs thus far, patiently ridden sixth in 2m Newcastle novice hurdle three weeks ago; she's in good hands and no surprise to see her take a big step forward now going handicapping. |
9/2 |
Verdict
In view of her Flat ability, Sweet Fantasy has considerable scope to better the bare form of last month’s winning hurdling debut but this will be the slowest ground she has encountered and she may be vulnerable to others with more stamina today. Roccos Inspiration (second choice) and Followango both have sound credentials but VICTORIA MILANO sets the standard and gets the vote.[Chris Wilson]
