5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile ground-wise and she recorded her ninth win when bouncing with a comfortable success at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in June; creditable third (Shallow second) there in July; not at best latest (Newmarket again) but the fact she won this race from an identical mark last year makes her a dangerous one to discount. |

7th 2 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile ground-wise and she recorded her ninth win when bouncing with a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) in June; still looks feasibly treated on that form and she was a fair third in a Class 3 event back here last month; respected dropped back in grade. |
11/2 |

3rd 6 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m who scored for the ninth time when landing a not dissimilar event over C&D three weeks ago; has never won off a mark this high but seems to be getting quicker as she ages and has gone back-to-back before. |

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. |

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. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Combination of a first-time visor and drop to 0-50 classified company enough to see her end a losing run a fortnight ago; win last August came off a stone-higher mark and she's shortlisted now back in the groove. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time winner; on the downgrade now but fairly consistent in handicaps in recent months; went without her usual cheekpieces on last two outings; big player in this grade if first-time visor has any positive effect. |
11/4 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over the extended 1m here; losing run up to 13, but 16lb below her last winning mark and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of six here (1m, good) three weeks ago; stays this far and could go well. |

Wins have come on turf in the summer and her record on Tapeta would be mixed at best; generally been running consistently of late but over shorter and this is a different test upped from 1m1f. |

Close second in a 6f course classified last month but not in the same form at Southwell twice since, taking her record to 2-39; Liam Bailey in form but others are still preferred |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Trip, track and ground are all fine; no threat at Thirsk last week but that was 1m and this trip is more suitable; each-way shout. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Has done most of her racing and winning over 1m2f; back in better form the last twice but isn't crying out for this drop back in trip, especially on a sharp track. |
