Below par at Wincanton in December and turned over at odds-on at Ludlow last month, following wind surgery; however, she's not ruled out in view of the promise she showed on her first two hurdle starts in November. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ended last year in storming form with a 1m6f/2m hat-trick, the final leg on Southwell Tapeta; not disgraced when never dangerous here in January and made a satisfactory return to turf (second at Newbury) in April, but this 8yo needs to hit another new high. |

Ended last year in storming form for 1m6f/2m hat-trick and not disgraced when never dangerous in January when last seen; peak efforts on softer than good but she's not dismissed. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Below best when beaten 1-3 favourite in Wincanton Listed race in February but the ground was heavy there and she's better judged on her game win in valuable Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) two starts ago; also suited by good ground; high on the list. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
14th Feb 2026 1m 7f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner, who made it 2-4 over fences with a brave win a Class 2 handicap at Windsor (2m4f, soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; sets the standard on that form and she's open to more progress on this drop back in trip; strong contender. |
4/7 |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Front-running mare; won at Kempton (2m2f, good) on chase debut and not disgraced in two subsequent starts, latest when almost 5l behind Hollygrove Cha Cha at Exeter (2m1f, heavy); has had wind surgery since and now gets a 6lb pull with that rival; bred to be as effective back over 2m4f; in the mix. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three good runs at Lingfield this year, including a 1m4f classified win; not at her best here three weeks ago (1m6f, good to firm) but this is weak and she is one to consider. |
100/30 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
17 races, finishing well in a 1m4f classified at Lingfield (AW) in March for her only win; second there off today's mark at same track (2m) last time was her best form under Flat rules and she has some turf form in the bumper and hurdle spheres; not entirely ruled out on Flat turf debut. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Finished well for narrow win in 1m4f classified here last month, opening her account on 15th start under all codes; soundly beaten in Wolverhampton handicap over that trip since but could plausibly have untapped potential over 2m on the Flat. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Slightly disappointing when fourth of seven here (2m4f, good) last month but her third off today's mark at Warwick (2m5f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and she's unexposed over this trip; could have a say. |
8/1 |

4th 8 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Usually ridden by Ciaran O'Shea; breakthrough win in 2m3f handicap at Fontwell last October and back-to-form third of 12 at Warwick (2m5f, good) early last month; in serious contention if that form can be maintained. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Taunton (3m, good) in April and had 9l to spare when following up at Stratford (3m2f, good to firm); also effective on soft/good to soft; climbing the weights but leading claims nevertheless. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Led close home to score in first-time blinkers at Taunton (3m, good) last month and is now 2-11 over hurdles; not always one to rely upon heavily but remains well handicapped on older form and unexposed as a stayer. |
10/11 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

Down the weights but lack of impact in six handicaps (two over this sort of trip) prevents any confidence in her taking advantage; has worn tongue-tie and cheekpieces in recent starts, which are now replaced with blinkers. |

11st 11lb |
Easily won a 3m2f Doncaster mares' handicap in March 2025 for Harry Derham (good) and denied only close home in points at Revesby Park (3m) and Bangor-on-Dee (2m4f) this year; have to hope last-time failure doesn't presage a return to last autumn's rules struggles, however. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Easy winner of a 3m2f Doncaster mares' handicap in March on just her second chase outing (good), but checked out too tamely for the 9lb rise to be accountable when turned over at 1-9 in a Fakenham match next time, and has since left Harry Derham (for £9,000); stable debut. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Longstanding maiden but has run some solid races in handicaps, including on her last four appearances (new yard on last two starts); handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so looks sure to be heavily involved. |
9/4 |
|

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win over hurdles (0-11) but shaped better than the bare form suggests when a rallying third at Stratford (2m, good; hood discarded) 11 days ago on second start for the stable and may have more to offer; worth considering with Theo Gillard back in the saddle. |

12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick over hurdles last year from 2m5f (here) to 3m (all on good ground); however, she's been well below that level for current yard, over hurdles and fences. |

5th 1 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time hurdle winner but below her best in that discipline for current yard and again when a remote third on chase debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces after wind surgery); others preferred. |

3rd 2 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |

Hurdles form has dipped sharply for new yard but has she possibilities provided the combination of first-time cheekpieces, switch to fences and a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) prompts a revival; back on last winning mark. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ran for Sir Mark Prescott in three bumpers and eight Flat races, all without winning; Uttoxeter third (2m) over hurdles latest can't be that convincing given that she was beaten 25l, but it was the best of her three runs for this yard and this is her handicap hurdle debut over a new trip. |

Showed ability in bumpers and on the Flat without winning for Sir Mark Prescott; 9-1 and 33-1 for her two runs over hurdles for current yard and was a distance behind the winner both times. |
