6th 6 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
The drop to 6f and fitting of cheekpieces saw her return to form at Goodwood (soft ground) in June, seeing off eight rivals in a 0-70 fillies' handicap; not in the same form at Lingfield (AW) seven weeks ago; needs a full revival. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and new cheekpieces when scoring at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month; recent 5lb rise asks quite a lot of her but this return to Polytrack won't be a problem. |

3rd 6 (7) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough at the 11th attempt when landing a Yarmouth handicap (6f, good to firm) in July; flopped at Doncaster last month, but she remains feasibly treated on her penultimate form and this return to Polytrack is no problem; dangerous if she can bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made the breakthrough, justifying favouritism at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; while she has responded to the removal of the hood, this represents a step back up the ladder (Class 5) from a 4lb higher mark; her task isn't an insurmountable one, though. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-race maiden but she's been placed in three of her last four handicaps including when a 2l third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; hood removed) last month; that was in a Class 5 event and she's respected on this drop back in grade. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won four nurseries (one over C&D) last year and bettered inauspicious reappearance run when keeping on for respectable fourth at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; needs another step forward today, though, and the forecast rain may not be in her favour. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Constant progress last year saw her win four nurseries (5f, turf/AW) and she completed her season with a creditable fourth of 19 in a Listed event at the other Newmarket track (6f, good) in October; may have needed her reappearance run over C&D (good to firm) last month but that was a heavy defeat and she needs to find more progress to defy this mark. |
8/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Constant progress last year saw her win four nurseries (5f, sound turf and AW) and she completed her season with very creditable fourth of 19 in a Listed event at the other Newmarket track (6f, good) in October; look for market interest ahead of this reappearance. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Dual 5f winner (Beverley and Musselburgh); couldn't match stronger finishing kick of Mighty Magnus (runner-up, beaten over 1l) at Musselburgh in June; is easing slightly in the weights but still sits 8lb above her last winning mark. |
33/1 |
|
17th 14 (18) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ran well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month; respectable fourth of 14 at York (6f, good) since but she's yet to win from a mark in the 80s. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
3yo filly had the run of the race when getting a soft lead to score by 1.5l over C&D when last seen in April (Beau Army second); raised 5lb for that and may not get her own way out in front again here. |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Encouraging second over 7f here in January; below form in two subseqeunt starts; well-backed and fared better ridden more positively 13 days ago when beaten 2.75l into fourth by Royal County Glory; on an okay mark but step up to 1m not guaranteed to suit. |
7/1 |
|
4th 13 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Second over C&D in January when well fancied to improve on her moderate 1m nursery form; reportedly got upset in the stalls when out of the money here in February, no apparent excuse last time; confidence dented by that run, but worth a market check. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Having only third run on turf when second at Haydock (1m, good; unraced on softer) and she came from some way back to go close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW), the scene of her sole success; strongly considered. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Pounced to break her duck over C&D (beat Blue Celestial by half-a-length) on penultimate start; gave a good account of herself back on turf when second at Haydock (1m) subsequently; it's likely she'll be in the mix again with Rose Dawes retaining the ride. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Got up late to shed her maiden tag at the 12th attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago; comfortably held on both turf starts but it's too soon to suggest she won't prove as effective on the grass. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to land a three-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in June; collared inside the final furlong when trying to adopt the same tactics in another small field over the same C&D last month and it remains to be seen if she can dictate in this bigger field. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Switched to turf for last three starts and best of those when winning under Tom Kiely-Marshall over C&D (good to firm) on latest, albeit in a three-runner race; back up 3lb but considered seriously in another small field. |
5/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still finding her level on turf, but only a neck behind Zooter when fourth in a C&D 0-70 latest (good to firm), the new trip no issue; bit more needed despite slight ease in grade; trainer took this last year. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive 3yo who has won three of her five starts, including with a strong finish at Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days ago; that was a last-gasp success, but she showed a fine attitude and still looks feasibly treated off her revised mark; big player. |
15/8 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has mostly been in good nick on turf this summer, winning at Ripon and Beverley; needs to transfer that form to AW (first six races of her career were on AW) but looks a player if she can. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Got off the mark when scoring over C&D (good) last month; met trouble in running subsequently at Musselburgh but resumed winning ways at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago; looks a potent force while in this class and may well go in again. |

Sole win in 23 starts came in a handicap at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in February when trained by Brian Ellison; drops to this level for the first time, but has been well held in both starts for this yard and attempts this far for the first time; cheekpieces return. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

9th 8 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark on Newcastle AW in February (5f); ran well back on turf when runner-up at Nottingham (6f, good) in April but not so good in final two starts for Brian Ellison; sold for £1,000 since; regular cheekpieces left off on yard debut. |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

23,000gns foal, 10,000gns breeze-up 2yo; third foal; half-sister to 7f AW/7.4f turf 2yo winner Liberty Bird (RPR 72); dam German 7f Listed winner (95), out of maiden half-sister to 7f 2yo winner Screen Star (dam of Cheveley Park winner Lumiere); sire A'Ali should inject some speed into the mix and she needs checking in market on debut. |
