Frequent traveller to Britain, winning an Ayr maiden hurdle and a valuable Kelso handicap (Brucio third) last spring; two runs this season have been less than convincing though and others preferred, although she is the choice of JJ Slevin. |

Returns to hurdling after going 0-5 over fences, producing only one effort of real note; nothing wrong with her mark if getting back in this discipline floats her boat. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |

No match for Irish Chorus here in March but she's got a handy pull in the weights with that rival and she lost a shoe when beaten 12l at Stratford; not discounted. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |

Yet to add to her two hurdling successes (at about 2m4f) in this sphere but she comes here after a very good second of six in 2m Warwick handicap 20 days ago; that form is working out well so she's a big player eased 1lb for yard back among the winners. |

Very useful hurdler without being in the same league as some of today's opposition and she wasn't overly convincing in her jumping when comfortably held in two chases earlier this year; left former Irish yard for £28,000. |

124-rated hurdler won two mares' events last season on soft, the second a Listed handicap at the DRF; last of three on recent chase debut in 2m Ayr handicap where jumping novicey; may need more time to make her mark chasing. |

19th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Bumper winner who is 0-8 over hurdles, albeit in the frame six times; better than her finishing position would suggest at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month, but she still needs to find more to get her head in front; tongue-tie returns. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Big improver this season in winning three times, the latest over 2m3f here on good (handles softer); another good run last time in a Listed race at Warwick (2m5f, soft) and her form is right up there in this company; the nagging concern is that she was keen and didn't get home over 3m at Windsor two runs back, although the ground was soft. |
9/2 |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Others have a lot more substance to their form but she impressed when winning three mares' novice hurdles in the autumn (2m3f-2m5f, good/good to soft; also effective on soft) and failed to settle when fading over 3m last time; retains potential now back down in trip and none of the form horses arrive with rock-solid credentials; interesting contender. |

10st 9lb |
Three chase wins at 2m1f and 2m3f (all on good), the latest in October, but she hasn't lived up to that form since and was a long way behind Califet En Vol over C&D recently; needs revival. |
33/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Has done all her winning on good ground so any rain would be a negative, which counted against her in a Listed chase for mares last time; on a tempting mark with Harry Atkins taking off 7lb if she was on her game (wasn't the case the time before at Ascot). |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |

Fairly useful handicap chaser who scored three times last year, most recently at Kelso in October; always behind at Ascot latest start; place possibilities on these terms but ideally needs drying ground, having done her winning on good. |

Won twice on AW in her youth; three hurdle wins since joining this stable, the latest at Perth last October; not so good this spring and a wind op last month needs to turn things around. |

A winner over hurdles and off the mark as a chaser at the fourth attempt when breezing clear for a very comfortable win at Lingfield (2m4f, soft), beating Fortunefavorsdbold who runs earlier on the card; hit with an 8lb rise but the cheekpieces were new last time. |

Both wins over hurdles came when making all; yet to convince as a chaser, falling in two of her three starts in this sphere; a clear round would be a priority. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |

Returned to form with front-running win at Warwick (2m3f, good) in September and caught the eye at Stratford (2m, good) last month, after a break, making good headway from a long way off the pace before fading into fifth on the run-in; back up in trip here and it will be interesting to see whether she reverts to much more positive tactics. |

11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who completed the set in a 2m3f Wetherby handicap chase (good to soft) last winter; not seen since a below-par third over fences at Market Rasen last April; lower mark back hurdling but got to be a chance she'll need this after nearly a year off. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

In the frame five consecutive times since switched to chasing this year, most notably when winning by 18l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in January; should also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; likely contender again. |

11st 9lb |
Both wins have came at Ludlow when claimer ridden; ran respectably following 12 months off when third of seven at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month; all of her best form previously had been over right-handed tracks, so a question remains over her suitability for this course. |

Won a handicap hurdle at Ludlow in October 2024 (2m, good) and the following April a novice back at the same venue, after flying too high at the Cheltenham Festival; has the form to feature off this mark if on her game after a year out. |

Ten hurdle races, winning a C&D handicap (good) in October under Nathan Andrews who today rides her for first time since; apparent best form when fifth in a Grade 2 for her sex at Ascot in January, but she hung right and eventually tailed off (after making the running) when 200-1 in the mares' novice at Cheltenham Festival; big player judged on her better efforts. |
