13th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Built upon her encouraging stable/hurdle debut when beating a good yardstick at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February and looked set to justify very skinny odds before last-flight fall at Catterick (2m, good) last month; leading contender on this handicap debut. |

Heavy-ground bumper winner who scored at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month on her second hurdle start; leading claims provided she handles the better ground this afternoon (unraced on good going). |

3rd 8 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
1-7 over hurdles; held her own in two good-quality novice races at start of this year and wasn't disgraced in valuable series final at Kelso last month; in calmer waters here but her tendency to finish weakly is a worry. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
One win from her six hurdle starts, which came at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; performed respectably in fifth in Grade 2 novice at Kempton (2m, good to soft) last month and she's not ruled out in her first handicap. |
16/1 |

5th 10 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Hooded last two starts, winning at Wetherby in November and a creditable third at Windsor (again 2m, soft) last month; will probably give her running again but Jack Andrews jumps ship in favour of Desertmore News and others probably have more potential. |

1st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Held every chance when falling at final fence in sole Irish point; bolted up on November's hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft; made all) and she ran into a useful prospect when well-held second in Listed mares' event at Haydock (2m3f, heavy) in December; shaped as though this drop back in trip should suit last time and she's a key player back in calmer waters. |

21st Dec 2024 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Held every chance when falling at the final fence in her sole Irish mares' maiden point (3m, heavy) and she bolted up on last month's hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft; made all); it remains to be seen where her limitations lie and she's firmly in calculations. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Fair Flat-racer who returned to hurdling with two fast-ground course wins (2m/2m2f) this season; drew nicely clear on run-in on latter occasion and commands respect in current mood. |
6/4 |

1st 8 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Five-time Flat winner (1m4f); justified strong market support when opening hurdles account here (2m, good to firm) in May, under Sean Bowen and shaping as though this longer trip would suit; up 6lb but remains capable of better after just eight starts in this sphere; leading contender. |
2/1 |

1st 8 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has won once on the Flat in Poland and four times at Catterick (1m4f), but the best she has been able to muster in seven runs over hurdles is when third of nine finishers at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in November; interesting that Sean Bowen rides for the first time. |

Brian Hughes rides but there aren't many other positives to draw on; well behind Top Flight Century when tried in a tongue-tie last time. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Nothing more than minor promise among her qualifying races and beaten about 17l when ninth of 15 at 50-1 on last month's handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); the first-time tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Nearly won a hurdle race in France but has accomplished little since arriving in Britain, including in a handicap run for Alan King. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Went close in 16-runner claiming hurdle in France (2m2f, very soft) last autumn but both British runs for Alan King last season were very disappointing and she has lots to prove on debut for latest new stable; hood added. |
