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. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Kept on well to win at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in October but failed to take to fences in next two starts and finished well held reverting to hurdles back at Fontwell (2m1f) last month over what may have been an inadequate test; needs to bounce back, but only 2lb higher than for her win and the step back up in trip will suit. |

Won a 2m3f handicap hurdle here in October under Ciaran O'Shea (good to soft) and chasing hasn't gone to plan since then; respected back in this discipline as she's not handicapped out of it. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
