23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Jumped stickily and hung left on June's hurdling debut, but back on track with a facile Worcester win latest (2m, good), over 7l ahead of La Lolita eased down; no shortage of encouragement for longer trips in pedigree (half-sister won three 2m4f-3m hurdles for these connections). |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual good-ground bumper winner, latterly at Hexham in May; lacked fluency and was very disappointing when switched to hurdling in early June but it won't be a surprise if she fares considerably better here. |

11st 4lb |
Outclassed in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April but won her two bumpers either side of that, last time making all at Hexham; obvious claims on hurdling debut. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Probable third best on the day when making a winning hurdles debut at Bangor (2m3f, good), not jumping well herself but benefiting from the leader falling two out and hampering their other main rival the most; improver if getting the basics right; longer trip is fine (Irish point winner). |

11st 6lb |
One of two to pull nicely clear of the others when dead-heating in good-ground Irish point in April; subsequently joined good stable for rules career; interesting to see how she fares. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
1m4f/1m6f wins for Charlie Johnston; now 0-11 over hurdles and was disappointing in a low-grade handicap here only recently; however, there is placed form in her record and she could have some part to play. |
7/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Three Flat wins in 2023; 0-10 over hurdles but was only reeled in late on under James Robottom here three weeks ago (2m1f, good); clear claims off 1lb higher. |

2nd 3 |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won three on the Flat in 2023 when trained by Charlie Johnston; 0-9 over hurdles and beaten around 40l at Taunton on her last two starts; this looks easier and she may show more. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed improvement in the autumn when last seen, winning at Luldlow (2m5f) then running well under a penalty at Huntingdon (2m3f), both times under James Bowen; may do better still; interesting handicap debutante. |

3rd 2 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at fourth attempt, leading close home in tactical, four-runner race at Ludlow (2m5f, good) ten days ago; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but she ought to run well again here. |
