22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Admirable 6yo who has won eight of her 52 starts (including on soft); however, she goes up in grade this afternoon and would be a shock winner. |
100/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
As good as ever as a 6yo judged on her near miss at Lingfield (7f, AW); latest Newmarket third probably not the run to judge her on and she can't be ruled out, for all stall 1 isn't ideal. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent on AW this year but she was short-headed at Lingfield (7f) in February and denied a clear run when third at Southwell (6f) last time; has won here and she might not be far away if she's on a going day. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row in July, including her second C&D victory (good to soft), and she's also won on soft ground; however, she hasn't been at her very best on her last three outings and needs something extra today. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins this season, the latest over C&D (good) in July; versatile regarding ground but recent efforts suggest she's on a fairly tough mark now. |

24th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Has lacked consistency this term and finished only eighth here most recently; defied a 5lb higher mark over C&D last October (sole AW win) and has a good chance if back to that form. |

Has a modest strike-rate but won over C&D (soft) in April; largely consistent since, solid second off this mark at Sandown (1m, good; behind a subsequent winner) most recently; one for the shortlist. |

31st May 2024 Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights and is 5lb lower than when runner-up in a big-field handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November; needs to better her three efforts since returning in March, though. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (11) |
6th May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Three wins, the latest over 6f at Pontefract in October 2022 (good to soft); good run when second over 7f at Newmarket in November (7f, heavy) but disappointing since. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple winner, including C&D, and she's dropped a long way in the weights; latest fourth of 14 over C&D was a welcome return to form and the form is working out well; one to take seriously with Kaiya Fraser back on board. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-time turf winner who is well treated on her best form last year, but she's been quiet in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (well-held sixth) last Saturday; one of two runners for yard and she needs to raise her game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of duck eggs this term leave a doubt over her current form; however, gained one of her five wins in 2025 over this C&D and she holds a good chance off current mark provided a resurgence materialises; runner-up in this race 12 months ago. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed off today's mark at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) last month and also suited by this C&D but had to settle for fifth when back at Beverley on Tuesday and some of the unexposed 3yos in this line-up look much more interesting; visored last time; usual cheekpieces back on today. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned mostly over middle distances and she's a dual 1m2f winner at Beverley; placed over C&D on penultimate start but the ground was on the slow side; others preferred. |
14/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Close third at Beverley (8.5f) 11 days ago and she's won twice there at 1m2f, but her record at 1m3f-1m4f (six races) is less convincing. |

12/1 |

11th 6 (12) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner two years ago but that remains her last success; close second at this level at Newcastle last month (6f) but faded into sixth over C&D a fortnight ago; capable of a prominent showing. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Won a C&D fillies' handicap in March 2024; hasn't won since, but was a creditable second in a 6f classified at Newcastle last week; has an each-way chance back up in trip. |

27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Four-time winner but very opposable on her modest form for current yard and the new headgear combination will need to help in a big way. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (3) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Four-time winner but her last turf success was in July 2022 and she's been out of sorts in four runs for current yard; hood is now removed and she needs a major revival back in trip. |
12/1 |

Below par the last twice but those were over 6f, and fast ground may not have suited last time; ran well in defeat twice in a row over today's C&D (good) in July and could bounce back to form now back up in trip. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll. |
