5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced but allowed to go off at 50-1 on handicap debut in January (2m, good to soft) and was pulled up; hard to be confident. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well beaten (bled from the nose) on penultimate outing but showed ability in her other two qualifying races, more recently when fourth in race won easily by 1-25 favourite; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but she's open to improvement in handicaps. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tongue tied for all her bumpers; failed to kick on in two good-ground ones after her debut second on soft at Newbury; has been off for 12 months and, with the stable also running Kamille Au Kanada, the market should tell a tale. |
3/1 |
|
4th 6 |
11th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 164y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Flat bred; tongue tied for both races; runner-up at Newbury (soft) and a line through the third gives her the beating of stablemate Queen's Theatre; her Fontwell run on good ground was rather flat but the front two are useful; can be given another chance. |
2/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-5 over hurdles for Harriet Dicken but signed off for her with respectable fifth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month, where her margin of defeat was magnified by a penultimate-flight error; drops back in trip for stable debut (same owners); interesting to see what Ben Pauling can do with her. |
4/1 |

5th 1 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Second of four on hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in November but she's not gone on from that and was a remote third in a Chepstow maiden last month; now switches to a handicap needing improvement on this step up in trip. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Second of four on hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in November but the value of that form is open to question and she was safely held on her next two outings; others look stronger. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Daughter of No Risk At All; tongue tied and took a big step forward from her debut when runner-up in bumper at Hexham 42 days ago; she can do better still so rates a big player. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Weakened when last of ten on Wincanton debut (1m7f, soft) in December and can only be watched on her return; tongue-tie added. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Not far behind good horses when fifth at Chepstow 14 months ago, though they did go very steady; has since moved yards; likely best watched. |
10/1 |

5th 9 |
16th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
First foal of a useful 2m4f hurdle/chase winner; stable just 1-44 with bumper runners in the last five seasons; likely best watched. |
33/1 |
Verdict
Ace Artist is from a family that has served connections well and she’s a leading contender on her racecourse debut but ARFURSGAL ran a promising first race at Newbury ten weeks ago and she can put that experience to good use. And She Was looks best of the rest.[Paul Smith]
