9st 8lb |
Notched a third victory of the season at Nottingham (5f) in July; not at his best in a pair of handicaps at Goodwood (6f) and Thirsk (5f) since though; has a bit to prove returning from a break in refitted cheekpieces. |

9st 2lb |
Exposed but had been admirably consistent in novice/handicaps until finishing well beaten in a Listed race at Ayr (5f, good), as odds of 66-1 suggested she might; again up against it kept at the same level. |

Admirably consistent; endured a torrid run when second in a 6f Goodwood nursery most recently but she was competing off 78 and this represents a big rise in class. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D record 115; won back-to-back at Ayr and Thirsk (both 5f) in May/June, rising steadily in the weights as a result; below par since returning from mid-summer break, though her latest Beverley effort (on heavy ground) is excusable. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins on good ground this summer (handles good to soft) and she ran well off this mark in her hat-trick bid in June; not at the same level this month though and soft ground and stall 15 leave her with a look of vulnerability. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Winner at Newcastle last November, but disappointing since; blinkers now tried (well beaten in a visor last time); plenty to prove at present. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch the betting. |

Promise at an ordinary level on first three starts but well beaten both starts in handicaps and best watched after near four-month break. |

23rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Close second on debut at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last month; unable to reproduce that promise on her two runs since but she's not ruled out on this nursery debut. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Her form has been very up and down in her six-race career (unraced on slow ground) but she won in good style on her nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) in July and wasn't beaten far when Listed seventh at Newbury (5f, good) last time; not ruled out now back in a handicap. |
