25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dramatic return to form in taking a 2m5f mares' handicap here last month (good); needs to back that up, but enjoyed passing horses late on that day and she ought to get a chance to do that again in this bigger field. |

Made a successful handicap debut at Hereford (2m4f, good) last autumn, but well beaten in both starts since returning last month (underwent wind surgery before latest outing) and is still 7lb higher; has a bit to prove. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Slightly disappointing when fourth of seven here (2m4f, good) last month but her third off today's mark at Warwick (2m5f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and she's unexposed over this trip; could have a say. |

Usually ridden by Ciaran O'Shea; breakthrough win in 2m3f handicap at Fontwell last October and back-to-form third of 12 at Warwick (2m5f, good) early last month; in serious contention if that form can be maintained. |

Relished the return to good ground when winning in good style over C&D ten days ago; has a 7lb penalty for that, but still 4lb well in compared to her revised mark and looks the one to beat. |

Had a long absence after finishing second in a bumper for Nicky Henderson; well held in maiden/novice events and dropped away to be beaten about 8l when made favourite for handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft); that bumper run was on good ground which she's not encountered since; if that helps then she's a player. |

0-18 under rules but ran her usual solid race when third of ten at Worcester (2m7f, good) 16 days ago in a returning visor (retained); looks sure to give another good account but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |

Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Turned things around when scoring at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in April and she followed up under a penalty Taunton (2m, good); came up a bit short in hat-trick bid over C&D (good to firm) last month but that was another good effort and she still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Relished the drop in trip and front-running tactics when getting off the mark in this sphere at Wincanton (1m7f, good; 25-1) last month; showed that was no fluke when following up at Taunton (2m, good) ten days later; 8lb higher here but this track should play to her strengths and looks the one to beat. |
4/5 |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Showed little in three runs at around 2m4f this season before finally opening her account over hurdles at the 12th attempt, when a switch to front-running tactics and a drop in trip at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago brought about the decisive breakthrough; subsequent penalty may not be enough to prevent another bold showing if she can replicate the effort. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Record of 0-7 but she returned after 276 days off with a promising second in a Ludlow handicap (2m5f, good) last month; nudged up 2lb but she stayed on well last time and has possibilities on this step up to 2m7f. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Unexposed 5yo but she hasn't progressed over hurdles so far and has been well held in two handicaps (2m4f/2m2f) for her current yard; returns after 276 days off and she needs improvement back up in trip. |
12/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Signs of promise in three maiden hurdles for Cliver Boultbee-Brooks; fair 15l sixth of ten in a 2m4f Worcester mares' handicap hurdle (good) on stable debut in May; down 3lb but still not obviously well handicapped and improvement needed. |

Represents a leading yard, but has shown little in four starts over hurdles from 2m3f-3m so far and cheekpieces made no difference last time; best watched unless the market suggests better is expected. |

Beaten 71l, 45l and 54l in her three hurdles races, at triple-figure odds on last two occasions; moves up from 2m5f (her dam won at up to 3m) and wears first-time headgear for this handicap debut; worth a market check. |
