26th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won comfortably under Ned Fox at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and also ran well when fourth there (2m4f, soft) later that month; below that level on latest outing (2m5f), though, and current mark demands a career-best effort. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Unraced on fast ground and best form was her second on soft ground at Exeter in January (2m5f); however, ran okay after a break at Chepstow (2m, good) and returns to a better trip here. |

Came good with wide-margin success at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in November and was placed twice on slow ground after the turn of the year (2m5f/2m4f); might find 2m a bit sharp on this first run since February, though. |

Won twice over about 2m in early part of last season (good to soft/good) and gave very good account when fifth in Grade 2 mares' novices' handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good) in March; eased in grade; a possible. |

11st 12lb |
Won at Stratford (2m6f) last May and back on the scoresheet with a stylish success over 2m here five weeks ago; still looks feasibly treated off 6lb higher but those wins were achieved on good and she'll face contrasting conditions afternoon. |

Underwhelming in three handicaps over hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) but has slipped in the weights and this former pointer could be more effective as a chaser; has each-way hopes. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
19 races for two wins, the latest in January 2025; creditable minor honours on all four starts this season, albeit as favourite on first three occasions; one of those was under Harriet Tucker; stays 3m2f and will probably be thereabouts. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |

Two wins overall (latest in January 2025) and ran creditably for third on her three starts this season, albeit as favourite on all three occasions; tried a visor last time but her usual cheekpieces return today; should have another prominent finish. |

Beat Testlight here in July but not in their rematch; bounced off the fast ground when winning well at Stratford 12 days ago to earn this 8lb higher mark; had some soft-ground form back in the day. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |

Dual point winner this spring; well beaten over hurdles on rules return in June but won comfortably when back over fences at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month and ran well in defeat over that C&D a fortnight later; likely contender again. |

Runner-up in good-ground Irish point last spring; down the field in three bumpers after that but she made an encouraging start over hurdles when third of ten at Hereford (2m, good) last month; was 10l adrift in that race but she kept on well and should benefit from the experience; in the mix. |

Given significant boost by first-time cheekpieces when causing 33-1 surprise over C&D (good to soft) in March but was pulled up after jumping poorly on next outing and it's hard to know what to expect from her today. |

Escapes a penalty for recent 3m win at Southwell (good to soft), which was her first run in cheekpieces and the second after wind surgery; clearly a strong contender if she's as good again. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Hard to predict and has struggled over fences and hurdles in last two runs, but she scored in this sphere at Sedgefield (about 2m, soft) in November; has possibilities if she can recapture that form and she's still unexposed as a chaser. |
