Form & Verdict
Much improved for step up to 2m4f (soft) when leading close home on her handicap debut at Wincanton in December; stamina for 3m had yet to be tested when unseating three out at Doncaster next time but she was still going well and moving up; respected.

Improving mare who did it fairly easily last month at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft; won on soft) and the second in that race has run well since; could take a further 10lb rise in her stride.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up in first 3m handicap, when back from a layoff in January, but she put up a convincing staying show when powering home from one other finisher over C&D last month (heavy; first-time cheekpieces, retained); back up 6lb but proven ability under the conditions is a big plus.

Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here.

Won this is 2024 (first-time cheekpieces), followed up over C&D (also heavy) seven weeks later and beaten just a neck on only other start here; has been chasing since without success and finished a long way off Asa at Catterick last week (first-time blinkers) but returning cheekpieces, hurdling and this C&D are all reasons to be positive.

Form & Verdict
Maiden; close second in 3m hurdle in March 2022 (good to soft) for Sam Allwood but showed little over fences and hurdles in 2023, including in cheekpieces; big turnaround needed for new yard but worth a market check.

OR: 92

Form & Verdict
Was quite exposed in Ireland but she was off the mark on second start for this yard, at Bangor in August (2m7f, good); has not fared as well in two runs on good to soft since, though, and nothing in her rules record as yet to suggest this slower ground will suit.
