Ex-Irish maiden, mostly in bumpers; no form, Flat or hurdles, for current yard; wind op needs to turn things around. |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Winning bumper debut at Hereford (2m) in October 2023; failed to stay 2m4f on hurdles debut at Huntingdon in November but more like it when runner-up over 2m at Taunton (good to soft) latest; needs more again. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Came good at Hereford in the autumn and showed even better form when following up there (also 2m, good) last month, after a break; moves up in grade here but might still be improving; must be considered. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Low-mileage mare who resumed from four months off with a breakthrough success over C&D in November; up 6lb but she had something to spare there so rates a player after another break. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't fire when last in action but was placed in her first two handicaps (2m3f/2m5f, good) and has possibilities if back on song over today's shorter trip. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Course winner last February; bang there when falling two out on handicap debut at Kempton (3m, good) in November but she's struggled since and been all over the shop trip-wise. |
9/4 |

6th 5 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won mares' maiden hurdle at Bangor (2m, heavy) last February and was bang there when falling two out on handicap debut at Kempton (3m, good) in November; disappointing on both runs since (3m/2m4f) and has something to prove but perhaps the drop back in trip will help this headstrong mare. |
12/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made all for Bangor maiden win (2m, heavy) last February; had every chance when falling on her reappearance (3m handicap) and was too free for comfort at Kempton over Christmas, again at 3m; probably on a fair mark and she's back in trip; chance. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
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. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumped into a improver when second on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last March and held every chance before last-flight fall on seasonal reappearance there (2m6f, soft) in November; chasing has not gone to plan on her last two outings but she reverts to hurdling on a good mark and with a new visor fitted; big player if back on song. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Low-mileage maiden who has hurdles form at Ffos Las; modest effort (last of three finishers) at Lingfield switched to chasing last time but may improve for that experience. |
5/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-4 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up in trip when keeping-on second behind an improver on handicap debut here (2m4f, good; first-time tongie-tie) in March; had wind op during eight-month break; open to more improvement if this stiffer stamina test suits. |

10st 13lb |
Immediately better for the return to a stayers' trip and good ground when third on last month's Plumpton handicap debut, albeit looking as if in need of greater respite than the 1lb drop she's received; blinkers added. |

Verdict
This could easily be won by the ex-French Miss Altea Blue who wasn’t given too hard a time when fifth in a Listed hurdle at Newbury and she’s receiving weight from her elders. However, there’s a strong suspicion that I’VE MADEUPMYMIND has yet to do herself true justice and she earns marginal preference. Future Fortune can also do better.[Alistair Jones]
