24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f) in May; failed to stay 3m1f when fourth there subsequently but shaped encouragingly reverted to hurdles after seven months off when third in 2m2f Exeter handicap 18 days ago; merits serious consideration back in this sphere. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has switched to fences this term, winning in May but regressing in two summer starts; only 1-18 over hurdles and she has never won away from Newton Abbot. |

11st 4lb |
Battled on from unlikely position to score by 8l here (2m5f, good) on chasing debut in May, an eventful race in which the clear leader fell two out, but it's wise to treat that piece of form with a degree of caution; only fourth of six at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last time; tries a new trip today. |

10st 7lb |
Runner-up twice in a row last August/September and she's well treated on that form; however, four lesser performances have followed and she's now 0-16; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

Has won three times here, including over C&D; may have needed the run after a break when seventh of nine finishers over C&D (good) nine days ago; not out of this. |

Has won three times here, including over C&D; below par on her last two starts of last season; yet to win when fresh but has run well after a break; on a competitive mark if she is ready. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won three on the trot over 2m/2m1f last summer (good/good to soft); may have needed the race after a break and wind surgery when last of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) last time; better ground should suit as well. |
7/1 |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick when pipping Karannelle in this race a year ago and looked back in good form when close fourth over C&D (good); slightly disappointing later in June on latest outing but seems quite versatile regarding ground and features prominently in calculations; had wind op in July. |
