18th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well on first four starts last season, latterly over an extended 2m7f, and she was back to that peak form when winning in clearcut style at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago under claimer Chad Bament; respected even though she's up 5lb and may well need a career best. |

Had a near miss at Leicester in December (2m4f, soft) but now has to bounce back from three lesser efforts; wears a first-time visor. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |

Has performed moderately the last twice but her near miss behind One Eye On Vegas at Leicester in December (2m4f, soft) brings her into this; hard to be confident about her chances, though. |

Campaigned mostly over further (stays 2m6f); ran poorly last time, failing to back up her reappearance effort; 2-2 at Ffos Las but this drop back in trip presents a question mark. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made all at Southwell last May and Stratford in October, so carries a double penalty today; both were on soft ground but she does have some form on good and good to firm; appearances at about 2m4f may help to explain the two heavy defeats among her last four starts; a leading form contender. |

26th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won on handicap debut at Stratford (extended 2m2f, soft) in October then bounced back from lesser run at Sandown to finish second at Newcastle (2m1f, soft) last time; didn't see out 2m4f on heavy ground at Sandown but may have the necessary stamina for today's assignment; key player if so. |

28th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |

Consistent sort who won on her handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, soft) in October and faded when fourth at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) last month; retains potential now back down in trip and could have a say. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran quite well when fourth behind Masked Dance in this race a year ago and is 10lb lower now but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; pulled up over C&D on latest hurdling start (Boxing Day) and safely held in a chase a few weeks later; needs 112-day break to have done her good. |

11st 5lb |
Failed to offer much in two chase runs last season and again struggled back over hurdles; steadied the ship when back over fences at Haydock (3m1f, soft) but not many completed and her jumping became iffy in the closing stages; others preferred. |

Failed to shine on her two chase starts last season and pulled up on reappearance over hurdles; however, this lightly raced 8yo looked good when winning a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m6f, heavy) last December and she may be the latest Venetia Williams runner to excel on testing ground at Haydock. |

Won by 10l last week at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in a race she also won the previous season, when beating Masked Dance on similar terms to today's; clear claims. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |

7-27 over hurdles, including a good-ground C&D win; not firing on all cylinders since last autumn but wasn't beaten far when fifth of seven in refitted cheekpieces at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month and continues to slip down the weights. |
