12st 1lb |
Second in a Listed bumper last season and won the mares' final at Newbury (2m4f handicap, good) in March; that was off 10lb lower but she's proving herself off this mark and only just missed out on the places at Leopardstown last time (2m2f, heavy); should have every chance. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful hurdler who was having her first British start over fences when third of four, beaten 10l, at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; her jumping didn't convince that day but maybe returning cheekpieces can help. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Sole win came in a Huntingdon 2m maiden hurdle in January last year, but she has a string of respectable placed efforts since and wasn't beaten through lack of stamina on her first try beyond 3m latest; appears to be on a tough mark but may improve for going back over fences, having run well in France in March 2024 on her sole previous chase start; handles most ground. |
4/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |

Consistent sort but she's won just once (a maiden last January) from 13 starts; rallied into a remote second here (good) last time, so perhaps a first attempt beyond that 2m5f will help the cause. |

10st 12lb |
Held up; 1-9 over hurdles but 5lb lower than when fourth under Murray Dodd at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December, her best form; no match for Indannya or Fresh As A Daisy at Warwick next time, but her latest start (pulled up at Ludlow; tongue tied first time) is the chief worry. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Just 1-8 over hurdles but kept on well to take fourth from out of the weights in good Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good to soft) in December and also ran well when placed in Warwick novice (2m5f, good to soft) at end of that month; won't be far away if she copes with the slower ground here; tongue-tie added. |

Two hurdle wins, most recently in February, but she's been out of luck in three chase runs, including when a remote last of four at Uttoxeter (about 3m, good) in June; has it to prove for now. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Failed to convince as a chaser in two attempts at last season; subsequently won over hurdles (2m3f, soft) but her form dipped afterwards; took step back in right direction when well-held second in four-runner hurdle last month (3m2f, good to firm) but needs another on this return to fences. |

Seemingly back in good nick when winning readily at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in February but ended last season with two lesser efforts (3m/2m7f) and has questions to answer again over this new trip. |

C&D mares' maiden winner in April 2025 (good) on sole previous visit, and mixed signals since as to whether she's as good over further; some appeal granted the lowest mark she's ever raced off in a handicap. |

Won a mares' maiden at Market Rasen (2m, good) last April; runner-up in first two handicaps during the winter but she's been disappointing in last two runs; bit to prove but mark is sliding and she's had wind surgery since her latest effort at Fontwell last month; not ruled out. |

Won this race readily by over 9l a year ago (good ground) and was placed over C&D on next two outings; returned from break with two down-the-field runs this summer (cheekpieces added last time) but is back on a good mark now and the return to this track is sure to suit. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Always behind at Market Rasen last month, after a break; she's better than that but all her best form is on sharp right-handed tracks, and she probably doesn't want significant rain; sports new cheekpieces. |

Winning hurdler who remains a maiden over fences after seven attempts, making the frame on all six completed attempts but without suggesting she's particularly well treated; back in trip but likely needs to find more off current mark to get her head in front. |

Winning hurdler who has finished runner-up in four of her six races as a chaser; fell at the 14th fence when upped to 3m1f at Wincanton (soft) last month but was travelling well at the time and she still has potential in this sphere; in the mix. |

Opened chasing account at second attempt, with Listed success at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February, and was creditable second in Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) later that month; still has potential over fences; respected on handicap return. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Added to point, bumper and hurdles wins when battling on gamely in mares' Listed chase at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) 16 days ago; that was a career best and she may not have reached her ceiling just yet; faces a sterner assignment against male rivals but impossible to discount. |

Stayed on well to win on her hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in November; good third at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) next time but tailed off on handicap debut at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last month; maybe the return to better ground will help; one of three in this for her stable. |

Soft-ground 3m point runner-up who stayed on well to win on her hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in November, before a fair third at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in December; improvement is needed off her opening mark but this unexposed mare is in good hands to progress. |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Only really minor promise in two Southwell bumpers, and likely the form of last month's Uttoxeter hurdles debut win (2m, good; just held on) is moderate; half-sister to a 2m3f hurdles scorer for this yard, however, suggesting improvement for the longer trip is far from unfeasible. |

Won 2m4f handicap at Sandown (soft) in December and she ran well in defeat in Listed/Grade 2 races on next two starts (2m4f/1m7f, good/soft); mid-race unseat at Cheltenham last week; she's a half-sister to a 3m2f winner and it's possible this new trip will be within range; in with a chance. |

Followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event there in January; another sound effort when a rallying third of four in 2m Ascot mares' Grade 2 (soft) since; the return to further will suit but she has plenty to find on form. |

Keeps getting better and she followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event over the same C&D two weeks ago; 4lb better off with that rival today and there's unlikely to be much between them. |
