18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Won two of her first three races at two in Britain; made low-key Irish debut at Down Royal; hard to be confident, but no surprise if she is competitive. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Formerly trained in UK; won twice as a 2yo (5f-6f) and ran creditably in defeat in group and stakes company; not a bad effort on seasonal debut but was poor last time; since sold for 23,000gns; check the market on stable debut. |

Two wins as a 2yo, including C&D; slightly disappointing on her seasonal and handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month but it's possible the return to turf will see her in a better light. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (turf) a fortnight ago; that came in a far less-competitive handicap off 2lb lower against her own sex, and she'll find this rather tougher. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Ripon maiden (5f, good) last June; highly tried in Listed events in final two juvenile runs but she's not threatened in five handicaps for new yard this season; mark continues to fall but she struggled at Nottingham last time and others are preferred. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Unplaced in both nurseries for Andrew Balding and sold for 27,000gns last October; however, she was an encouraging third of 14 at 50-1 on her stable and seasonal debut at Thirsk (5f, good) four weeks ago and could build on that run today; one of two fillies for the yard; interesting contender. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A Sandown maiden win over 5f was followed by a useful effort, beaten under 3l, in a Listed race at Newbury, but she has more to prove on 6f runs since, including on handicap debut latest; now has questions raised with cheekpieces fitted. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner at 2yrs; not disgraced after six months off when a close eighth of 14 in 5f Listed race at Bath last month but this requires more. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (14) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Won a Chepstow maiden on her second start; big step forward when second of 23 in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot 11 days later; no progress afterwards but today's return to 5f should be in her favour. |
10/1 |
|
7th 12 (6) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Second of 23 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from that but her subsequent performances in a Group 3 at Ascot (6f, good; fifth) and a Listed race at Newbury (5f, good; close third) still put her in the picture today; soft ground may not have suited last time. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 7lb |
Won her first two starts, notably a 5f Listed event at Newbury; improved again when second of nine in a 6f Listed race at Goodwood three weeks ago (fillies' only) on her reappearance; not fully exposed and 3yos, including three fillies, have won six of the last ten runnings. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Landed 5f maiden (for Raphael Freire) last spring before showing much improved form to follow up for her new yard in 5f Newbury Listed event in August; only seventh of ten in Group 3 at Longchamp (5f) final run and faces no easy task on her return. |

3rd 6 (4) |

Out of form for Tom Ward this season (four runs) and was just a respectable third of five for new stable at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last week; visor removed after one use; needs to up her game. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Newbury novice winner over 6f and ran in a Listed race on final run last season; a disappointing return on handicap debut leaves her with questions to answer; unraced beyond 6f. |
33/1 |

9th 10 (9) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Broke duck on second start, at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last July; lost out only narrowly in a Salisbury novice next time but had more to do when down the field in a 5f Listed race when last seen nine months ago; race readiness the query today. |
10/1 |
|
8 (5) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (6f, good to firm) last month on second start and very close third in Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) since, when behind Indy B who is declared in the opener; it's possible she'll be suited by the drop back to 5f but she has quite a bit to find against today's opponents. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; played up beforehand and withdrawn from an intended engagement at York two weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked and she could do better yet. |
11/4 |
|
6 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; perhaps best not to take latest effort literally but in going back up just 1lb the assessor hasn't overreacted; again has frame possibilities. |
7/1 |
|
31 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Reserve; she has built on her 2yo form in two runs this season, finishing third in a handicap and a Listed race (not clear run) at Sandown (both 5f, good); wouldn't be out of this if getting a run; hood tried for the first time. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
3yo maiden who is often highly tried; seemed to run well, despite traffic issues, in the Scurry over C&D on penultimate start; however, chance of finally winning depends on the effects of new headgear. |

|
5th 4 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Hold-up performer who is 0-13 but she's run creditably at big prices in three Listed events (5f, good) this season; now makes her belated handicap debut and has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
9/4 |

5th 9 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Appeared to run creditably when a 50-1 shot in Listed races the last twice, albeit taking record to 0-12; technically in form but she's the only maiden in this field and has the worst chance at the weights. |

Yet to add to her debut success at Newbury around this time last year and her fourth of nine at Newmarket (also 6f, good to firm), while respectable, will need building on. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Highly tried after a successful debut last year; never involved upped to 1m last time, having made a solid comeback over 7f, and the drop to sprinting would suggest stamina may have been the issue; one to consider down another 2lb. |

Impressive at Ripon (6f, good) in May on second start but down the field in Group 2/Listed races in her three starts since; a dramatic turnaround is required in a first-time tongue-tie and visor. |
