15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Ready winner at this track (2m5f, good) four weeks ago, coming from last to first and taking chase record to 4-9; likely to be as effective back up to 3m; progressive mare who is one for the shortlist. |

Useful mare who has shown career-best form this term, winning Listed event at Carlisle (2m4f) then third in C&D handicap; could go well but likely needs to find some further improvement to defy current mark. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Grade 2-winning chaser and respectable eighth (faded) in last year's Grand National; hasn't kicked on from a good first run of the season that reads well but she's easing in the weights and ran better at Haydock last time (3m4f, good to soft) than a 25l defeat may imply as she made a late mistake; her stamina for this far isn't guaranteed but interesting otherwise; tongue-tie joins her regular cheekpieces. |

27th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Had wind surgery in July; 2m4f was too short on reappearance and she was not at all discredited in the 3m2f Coral Gold Cup at Newbury next time, outpaced from four out; that sees her back to the same mark as when a close second in the Classic at Warwick (3m5f, soft) in January, staying on dourly, and she has strong each-way claims if she returns to her peak form. |

Record of 3-6 over rules fences features a Class 2 handicap win at Kelso (2m5f); faller in the Premier Chase there (2m7f) last time; may still have further progress in her; possibilities. |

A dual C&D scorer but she arrives out of sorts and was pulled up in 3m1f handicap at Hereford in December; others appeal more. |

21st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
On a good mark now and her second at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft) this summer confirmed she retains significant ability; however, she was soundly beaten on her latest outing and all of her British wins were gained at around 2m4f on genuine good ground. |

21st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |

Quite a useful hurdler; made a few mistakes when fifth in a Listed mares' event at Carlisle in November (2m4f, good to soft; 5l behind third-placed El Elefante); better run over hurdles last time; bit to find from 4lb out of the handicap. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Listed novice winner (3m, soft) in March 2024; became rather disappointing last season but, having swapped cheekpieces for blinkers, returned to form with good third here (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a good mark and is sure to be suited by today's move back up in trip; must be considered. |

Won a Listed mares' hurdle at Doncaster in March 2024 (3m, soft) and fine effort when fourth in a Grade 1 at Aintree the following month (3m, soft); a bit disappointing since and has been pulled up in two of her last three starts; blinkers replace cheekpieces; stable going well; revival needed. |
