21st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Made very good progress over hurdles then fences last year, with the latest of six wins gained in quite valuable mares' handicap chase at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December; will be dangerous if in similar mood here but suffered a worrying slump in form on her two starts last month and needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |

Sent chasing this term and twice made all in handicaps at Plumpton (3m2f) before always prominent to take one at Hereford (3m1f); ran poorly in mares' Listed race at Newbury 16 days ago when soft going should not have been a problem; needs to resume improvement and moves into the unknown stamina-wise. |

14th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Placed in Irish points; signs of progress in her last two hurdles, getting closer when beaten 18l at Fakenham (2m, soft; 3lb higher); weakened late on that day having made her ground from off the pace but today's longer trip shouldn't be an issue given pointing background. |

Struggled on first three hurdling starts but her fifth at Hereford (2m3f, good) was a lot more encouraging and her Irish point form offers hope that she can make further progress under rules; handicap debut. |

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. |

Now 12 but she won off this mark at Taunton (2m3f, soft) last March and shaped when fifth of 16 there (2m3f, good to soft) last month as though she may benefit from this step back up in trip; each-way contender. |

11st 9lb |
Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield. |

Reportedly treated for ulcers before displaying much-improved form to win a 3m Ludlow handicap by 11l (soft; 7lb lower); perhaps heavy ground didn't suit when tailed off at Exeter; better expected this time, for all that further suits her well. |

Placed twice in the autumn (2m7f/3m) and took form to whole new level when scoring by 11l from 7lb out of the handicap at Ludlow (3m, soft) last month, having reportedly been treated for ulcers; effectively 8lb higher here; interesting to see whether she can build on that performance. |
