2nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Sole success in 15 came in a 1m good-ground novice here last season; below par this year with and without the hood; others preferred. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Did not progress much after her 1m Goodwood novice win last spring and reappearance (1m, AW) was clearly the best of her three results this term; the hood (absent last time) returns and peak 2024 form reads well but other runners are more persuasive. |

Did not progress much after last spring's 1m Goodwood novice win and failed to build upon her encouraging seasonal reappearance when soundly beaten over that C&D this month; others preferred. |

9st 2lb |
Dam unraced half-sister to Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Just The Judge; beaten about 3l in two 7f Kempton novices last backend, hooded for both; reportedly struck into the last time; retains potential. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has gained both wins on AW, including at Newcastle in latest start when wearing a hood and attempting 6f for the first time; far from solid on her turf form but otherwise may have more to offer at this distance in the retained headgear. |
7/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m winner for the Gosdens in May 2024; best effort for this yard came when a close third in a 5f Southwell handicap in January but not so good over 5f here since; steps back up in trip with a hood fitted. |

17th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Off the mark in Redcar novice event, taking her form figures over 7f to 2321; the return to 1m backfired at Southwell (belated handicap debut; behind Moonspirit) since; may have more to offer back down in distance and remains of interest. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Never posed a threat on first two starts, but she made all in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in July and was always in touch when following up on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; up 8lb but she galloped on strongly last time and has more to offer at this trip. |
11/4 |
|
1st 8 (5) |
30th Aug 2024 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Never posed a threat at Ascot (1m2f, good to soft) or Goodwood (1m, good) before she won a nine-runner novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month, making all; going back up to 1m2f should be viable, in which case she'd bring potential to this handicap debut. |
11/4 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
15th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Never posed a threat in maiden at Ascot (1m2f, good to soft; last of six) or novice at Goodwood (1m, good) but showed fair form in both; well-bred filly with each-way claims and possibly some potential. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Has patchy profile but she scored at Windsor (1m2f, good) last September and ended last season with a good second in the mud at Bath; returns after 160 days off but her first win was after a break and she's only 3lb higher than for her last success; one to keep an eye on. |

2nd 2 (8) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in this last year (soft) and added a 1m2f Windsor handicap in September (on good); inconsistent but has a big run in him off this mark. |

10th 13 (8) |
12th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

She finished out the back in two handicap runs last month and although she's been dropped 8lb for her troubles, others come here with more pressing claims. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Moderate in just three starts since her successful handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good) in September last year; being a half-sister to two AW winners the main positive. |
14/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made all at Chepstow (1m, good; handicap debut) last September; absent after flopping at Brighton the following month until she reappeared with big defeat back there one month ago; quite possibly needed that and she's not fully exposed, however; heed any market signals. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well held on first two starts over hurdles late last year but, after a respectable fourth back on the Flat (1m6f) in January, has progressed since switched to handicaps and upped in trip over jumps; on a workable mark and this longer trip could unlock further improvement. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well held on first two starts over hurdles late last year but, after a respectable fourth back on the Flat (1m6f) in January, made a promising handicap debut over hurdles when keeping on for second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month; 2lb rise looks fair and she is high on the shortlist. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
A modest 1m4f Flat scorer for Tom Ward; failed to match that form sent hurdling for her current yard in 2025 but not discredited back on the Flat with fourth in 1m6f Southwell handicap 50 days ago; yard is going well so she could still do better on her hurdling handicap debut now. |

Runner-up in a 1m AW maiden during the winter but has finished well behind in both her runs for Tony Carroll, the latest on handicap debut; lots to prove with cheekpieces now tried. |
50/1 |

10th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gently progressive 2yo form, though even her C&D maiden second in November is nothing that warrants a mid-late 60s official rating; well held on both outings in 2024 (stable debut latest) and couldn't fancy. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who's struggled badly under both codes for this yard; would be a shock winner of a competitive handicap in first-time headgear (tongue-tie comes off again). |
66/1 |

12th 1 (7) |
7th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Maiden under both codes, formerly with Joseph O'Brien; certainly not improving and this is no easier back in a novice. |
100/1 |

6th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Poor under both codes since joining from Joseph O'Brien for 10,000gns last autumn; needs a lot of improvement now handicapping and Celebrating Ethel looks her yard's best shout. |
