30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Highly progressive form last term, culminating in a 1m6f Listed second on soft, and better still when she got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) this June; not disgraced facing a stiff task in Goodwood Group 2 four weeks ago but needs to resume improvement. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Last season's fine improvement culminated in her 1m6f Listed second at Ascot (soft); got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) on latest outing but she did not see this trip out as well as Term Of Endearment or Sueno when they clashed in York Group 3 the time before; others seem to have the edge. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer; rattled off a four-timer in handicaps at around this trip last summer before good second of five in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot; had wind surgery prior to running right up to last year's best in Listed and Group 3 events last month; this is less competitive and she's greatly respected. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Raised her game again this season, including a Doncaster handicap win (1m4f, good); appeared to show improved form again in Listed race last time, which can be questioned as she was a never-dangerous sixth of seven at 25-1 but her mark is unchanged. |
16/1 |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Readily saw off her five rivals in a Doncaster handicap (1m4f, good) last month and turned in another solid effort behind Santorini Star at Goodwood latest; it's hard to see why the tables would be turned on these terms though. |

4th 8 (4) |
23rd May 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely runs a bad race and has won two of her last three, latterly in gritty fashion at Doncaster (1m4f, good); up 4lb in a stronger race here but hasn't looked back since the hood went on (131). |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has contested 1m4f Listed races (both good to soft) on the other Newmarket course on her last two starts, finishing a soundly beaten third to Spirited Style then going close behind Silent Love; progressive and has each-way claims if handling today's better ground. |
12/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Two minor 1m4f AW wins from first two starts; no threat in Group 3/Listed races on next two starts then third in C&D Listed race a fortnight ago (1m4f, good to soft; albeit no match for the front two); this lightly raced 4yo is open to further improvement for stable with strong record in race. |
7/1 |
|
2 (4) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who made debut last October and posted two minor 1m4f AW wins from her first three starts; however, she's been well beaten in Group 3 and Listed races (1m6f/1m4f, good) on her last two starts. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Placed in five 1m2f-1m4f Listed races this season and beaten a neck in 1m4f Group 3 here two weeks ago; 0-11 since her handicap win but she's likely to be on the premises once again. |
7/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Placed in five Listed races this season and can give another good account, but she's 0-10 since winning a handicap last July and it's likely this 5yo is vulnerable once more, especially now back up in grade. |
14/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 since handicap win here last July; seven of those defeats were in Listed races but runner-up in five, including in this race last year and on three occasions this season, so has each-way claims again. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has won here and has run well to finish third on her three starts this season, most recently at Pontefract (1m4f, good) in June; improvement is possible if and when she settles better but she has just over 3l to find with Karmology on the Pontefract form. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Trip and ground no problem and she made a pleasing seasonal return when third behind Santorini Star at Goodwood last month (1m4f, good); 2lb better off today and likely to get closer; stable, which is also represented by Allonsy, have won three of the last seven renewals. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (3) |
23rd May 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Left it late to win a 1m4f handicap at Doncaster last September (good to soft; fine on quicker) and confirmed herself progressive with a third at Listed level next time (1m5f AW); an untouched mark might still be on the high side, but there could easily be more to come at four. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Improved for the step up in trip last summer, winning four handicaps (1m2f to extended 1m3f); she's run creditably in both starts this year but latest Goodwood fifth suggests she's up against it once more. |
12/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
23rd May 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Raced keenly and hung late on when behind three of today's rivals at Southwell (1m4f AW); entitled to find something on that form but she might be handicapped to the hilt now after last season's four-timer. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Upped to 2m for a handicap win at York Ebor meeting (good to firm) last August; tried front-running to positive effect against her own sex over about 1m6f on her subsequent two starts when winning the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (good to soft) and second in Group 1 at Longchamp (very soft); has a form chance on this return but the stayer's mantle will have to be shed. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on softer than good; fourth when she tried a Listed race and Irish Group 3 this summer, coming from last to fourth in a steadily run race for the latter over 1m6f, despite hanging right; 2m duly proved just the ticket back in a handicap at York three weeks ago, asserting late on; perhaps testing ground will offset today's shorter distance; chance if so. |
6/1 |
|
3 (10) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won three (one on good to firm) of her four handicaps; improvement has stalled in Listed race and Irish Group 3 but she came from last to fourth in a steadily run, nine-runner race for the latter over 1m6f, despite hanging right, and that gave encouragement for 2m on today's return to a handicap. |
5/1 |
