18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Probably had a bit more in hand than the neck margin suggests in Listed grade at Ayr (6f, soft) to take form figures to 211; leading player on the figures upped further in distance and could well show additional progress to boot. |
5/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second on debut at Leicester (6f, good) before ready win at Beverley (5f, good to firm); this is a tougher test of her credentials but she's well worth a second look with her yard having won this in 2020 and 2022. |
10/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Faced a stiff task at Leicester on her debut (6f, good) and she shaped well amidst evident inexperience behind a filly who had finished second at Royal Ascot; can't afford to blow the start again back at 5f but she's open to lots of improvement. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent and hasn't yet hinted that she is up to winning from this mark; more needed. |
14/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win (0-5); entitled to strip fitter after recent comeback run in sixth of ten at Catterick (5f, good; 12-1); had a valid excuse - bled from the nose - when 2-1 favourite on her only other attempt over 6f; stablemate of Carnation Queen. |
12/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On the back of quite promising efforts on her first three starts she was backed into 2-1 favouritism for her Carlisle handicap debut in September but finished last of nine and was subsequently found to have bled; off since; it'll be interesting to see whether her supporters are prepared to give her another chance. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Landed a Newcastle novice (5f) on her third attempt last September on her AW debut before finishing second on her nursery debut at Chelmsford (5f) the following month; off since but must come into contention if she is ready to roll. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Thrice-raced filly who took well to AW at Newcastle (5f) most recently; may well build on that win and improve further; respected. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden but she has form form figures of 4223 in handicaps and that latest third was on her reappearance at Bath (5f, good) last month; 1lb lower here and she should be in mix again. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten under 3l in each of her three nursery runs last year (AW and soft); needs to have improved over the winter to make a winning return to action. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Wide-margin winner of 5f Southwell maiden on second start and soft ground may not have suited next time, but she found little on her handicap debut over C&D in November (3-1) which leaves a question mark hanging. |
8/1 |
|
2 (5) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promising second over C&D on her debut (good to firm) last month and she was unextended to win a 5f maiden at Southwell 11 days later; strong contender despite the 7lb penalty and slower ground. |
4/5 |
|
4 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Useful pedigree and she made a promising start to her career when chasing home the odds-on favourite in a Beverley fillies' novice 11 days ago (5f, good to firm); sets a clear standard and open to improvement so there is a lot to like; yard in fine form too. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf. |
7/1 |
|
8 (2) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Took time to get to grips with racing but she's now on an upward trajectory, seemingly relishing the stiff 6f at Leicester (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise means further improvement will need to be forthcoming but she handles Tapeta (Wolverhampton third) and could prove capable. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Placed twice on AW in April but failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, taking record to 0-13; the most exposed contender. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
12-race maiden but she was placed in her two runs last month, both on Tapeta (1m and 7f); more to prove on turf but further progress can't be discounted. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (11) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
11-race maiden; lost out only by a short head off basement mark at Southwell (1m, AW) this month but went up 3lb for that, has wide draw here and needs to prove she can cope with the drop back in trip. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No significant impact in handicaps over 7f at Doncaster and 6f here this spring; still fairly early days but needs a combination of a step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces to make a difference. |
13/2 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps when seventh of nine, beaten just over 4l, in a 7f event at Doncaster a fortnight ago; still has time to do better but Hares Bredth may prove the stable's main hope. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Cut little ice in a trio of novices last autumn, only eighth of ten at Carlisle (6f) on final one, but she could still do better now venturing into handicaps. |
8/1 |
