17th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Caused 25-1 surprise in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good) this summer but was well beaten on her next outing and refused to race at Southwell three weeks ago; others look much safer. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 0-30 but she's been placed with cheekpieces added in last two starts and was a well-backed favourite when third at Hereford (2m3f, good) on Monday; should go well again off unchanged mark and she's in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 8 |
13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Longstanding maiden but off this career-low mark she was a 7l second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) when cheekpieces were added; possibilities. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 13 |
16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Returned from break with good second over C&D (good) in May but her subsequent record is very mixed and she's now 0-20 over hurdles; tried in new cheekpieces today; would probably prefer the rain to stay away. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Some good performances last year as when beaten a short head off this mark over C&D in November; needs to better her two efforts since returning last month, though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
0-12 in Flat handicaps but she was placed here in November on two occasions (including C&D); behind Shipshape at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on his first start for 131 days but the returning cheekpieces should be a positive. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-11 in Flat handicaps but bang there on three of her last four starts (2m here and Southwell 1m6f); that puts her firmly in the picture but there is a bit to prove after 131 days off. |

2nd 7 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made all in three-runner mares' chase at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last month and is now 4-8 over fences; faces tougher task from 3lb out of the weights here but is evidently in good nick, and new jockey Isabelle Ryder claims 5lb. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Made it 3-6 over fences when winning easily in a small field at Sedgefield in October (2m) and later that month she bumped into the useful Bluey (whom Queens Gamble beat for her last win) at Kempton (2m2f, good); chance at these weights if fitness isn't an issue. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 4 |
19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Record of 3-6 since switched to fences, comfortably beating her two rivals at Sedgefield (2m, good to firm) most recently; faces a tougher task in this field but may progress further. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Only fifth of eight on her return to hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) last month, but despite some iffy jumping she was only caught on the run-in; has dropped to a handy mark and could go well; stable also runs Gerard Mentor. |
14/1 |

5th 6 |
18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Quirky mare who returned from a layoff with a below-par chase run six weeks ago; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others in this field look less risky. |

11st 12lb |
Won four handicap hurdles at about this trip for Donald McCain; 0-4 for current yard, though ran in the Listed chase here won by Grey Dawning before finishing third in a handicap chase at Bangor (beaten 4.5l); might be running back into form. |

Won a Sedgefield handicap hurdle in May (2m1f, good to firm) but has been rather disappointing over hurdles and on the Flat since; needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Last win came off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen in June last year (2m4f, good); not at her best last time but has a chance on her previous run when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft). |
9/1 |
|
10th 4 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Scored at Market Rasen (on good ground) last June and she returned from a seven-month absence with a very good third of nine over C&D 11 days ago; this C&D winner can go very well off an unchanged mark. |

10st 13lb |
Won readily in first-time tongue-tie at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June but her form has slumped since; can be excused her most recent defeat (on heavy ground) but still arrives here with a point to prove. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 |
26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won a mares' handicap at Southwell in June (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie); reportedly never travelled when tailed off here next time and failed to get involved from out the back at Stratford (2m2f; 28-1) latest; goes back up in trip with a bit to prove now. |

0-18 over hurdles but seemingly back in decent form on last two appearances; in contention for second before last-flight fall at Kelso (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago and has possibilities if that experience has not dented her confidence. |

Winning pointer; went close in modest maiden hurdle at Bangor (2m3f, good) in June but was pulled up on subsequent handicap debut and managed only fifth over C&D when back in novice company last time; others look stronger. |
20/1 |

5th 8 |
19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Maiden point winner in April (3m, good to soft; 4-7); fair efforts over hurdles on next two starts, notably when close second to Briefly (7lb worse off) at Bangor (2m3f, good) in June; pulled up in a handicap last time but still interesting. |
9/1 |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Won a maiden point in April (3m, good to soft; runner-up has won since); in the frame in two runs over hurdles since, last time finishing a close second to a 4-9 shot in a Bangor mares' maiden (2m3f, good; first two clear); of interest on handicap debut. |

Stratford (2m, good) winner in October off 4lb lower and possibly bettered that when a close third at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month, before appearing to find the drop back to 2m a little sharp at Taunton last time; more likely needed again. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
