12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ex-Irish filly who is 2-6 over hurdles since joining Dan Skelton last autumn, the latter win gained over 2m4f; completely unexposed beyond 1m4f on the Flat; interesting. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Thereabouts in middle-distance Flat handicaps in Ireland and has won two of three hurdles (out of depth in the other) since wind surgery, proving suited by the step up to 2m4f when winning over C&D (good) in May; raised 5lb but has major claims. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won a novice hurdle at Doncaster (2m1f, good; first start since wind surgery) in March, but faced a stiff task from 9lb out of the weights on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last month; wouldn't want the ground to ease too much, but respected otherwise. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Well served by sharp left-handed tracks and good ground, winning at Stratford (2m maiden) and Sedgefield (2m5f handicap) last year; impression given when second at Warwick latest (2m5f) was that she'll stay further and that is partly backed up by pedigree. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden winner who made a successful handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) but hasn't advanced her form from there; however, soft ground perhaps not ideal the last time and this 6yo is bred to improve with her racing. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |

2-5 over hurdles, the latter win gained on seasonal/handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in November; not seen since lesser effort later than month and not yet tested on ground slower than good to soft but may still have potential. |

11st 5lb |
No match for easy winner when third of five on chase/handicap debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good) three weeks ago and needs to improve, but she remains very lighty raced under rules and ought to be suited by the longer trip; tongue-tie added. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Brief hurdling career wasn't devoid of promise but her debut over fences at Hereford in November (2m, good; 28-1) was disappointing, with that also her handicap debut; best watched back from a break. |

11st 10lb |
Three-time Flat winner who improved for the step up to 2m4f when second at Worcester in May on latest start and now makes handicap debut on ground she handles; respected. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Quite useful on the Flat for former yard, winning three times at up to 1m6f; given that ability she's been quite disappointing in her two races over hurdles (at 2-1 and 6-1). |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Bits of modest form in her three bumpers and three maiden hurdles, easily best from this sphere over 2m5f at Huntingdon (heavy) on penultimate start; tongue tied last two outings; needs improvement on this handicap debut but it looks a weak race. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

Better for the tongue-tie when fourth at Huntingdon last month (2m4f, heavy) but posted a modest RPR and might not be up to this. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |

No great substance to her bumper form and she was beaten a long way at Doncaster on her switch to hurdling (2m, good; 20-1); now has her tongue tied; much to prove. |

3-5 over fences; eased late on when beating Politacus here and comfortably defied a 6lb rise at Newton Abbot (2m, good), albeit at the expense of just one other finisher; up another 5lb but sure to go well. |

2-4 since switched to fences, most recently against her own sex at Warwick (2m, good to soft) where the form has worked out well; steps back into open company off 6lb higher but she remains open to progress in this sphere. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won three-runner chase at Leicester in December, her second start over fences, and her subsequent second at Taunton (also 2m, good) was perfectly respectable; may not be ideally suited by the forecast slower ground here but still features prominently in calculations. |
