1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Big improver this season in winning three times, the latest over 2m3f here on good (handles softer); another good run last time in a Listed race at Warwick (2m5f, soft) and her form is right up there in this company; the nagging concern is that she was keen and didn't get home over 3m at Windsor two runs back, although the ground was soft. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Others have a lot more substance to their form but she impressed when winning three mares' novice hurdles in the autumn (2m3f-2m5f, good/good to soft; also effective on soft) and failed to settle when fading over 3m last time; retains potential now back down in trip and none of the form horses arrive with rock-solid credentials; interesting contender. |

29th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up in a heavy-ground 2m6f point in March last year, but little worthwhile form over hurdles since and was beaten 20l on handicap debut in June; needs to find plenty for this switch to fences from 10lb out of the weights. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Untested at this trip under rules but there have been hints that she'll stay this far; in good form against fellow mares this winter prior to tailing off in the Imperial Cup at Sandown last month; takes on her own sex today and it will be no surprise to see a bold showing. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Having shown some good form in defeat in handicaps (on various ground) she made the breakthrough in this sphere in a small-field, mares-only race at Exeter (2m, heavy) a fortnight ago; had 5l to spare but she'll need to be better than ever to follow up in this much more competitive contest. |
33/1 |

1st 1 |
20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a mares' novice at Lingfield (2m, soft) a year ago and she's still seeking her first handicap success, though she has posted some solid placed efforts, latest when a good second at Windsor (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day; return to heavy ground will pose no problem and she's sure to be involved. |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |

pressed leader, prominent after 4th, raced in second but lost ground after 4 out, lost second after 3 out, soon weakened |

3rd 3 |
1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has finished tailed off on all three runs over hurdles, most recently at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December; however, her pedigree suggests she could improve for this step up in distance and this isn't a strong race; handicap debut. |
4/1 |
|
10th 10 |
16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
She's bred to win races but has finished tailed off on all three starts, most recently when 200-1 at Doncaster (2m3f, good). |
66/1 |
Verdict
Dameofthecotswolds won easily at Ludlow last month with GETURGUCCION in second, but the runner-up could turn the tables today. Dameofthecotswolds had a race-fitness advantage, and the longer trip here could favour the 3m point winner Geturguccion. Game Colours is another possible improver.[Ben Hutton]
