26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in February and, switched to handicaps, was only just denied back here in April (good); raised 4lb since that latest effort but remains open to progress and a leading contender, with a promising 5lb claimer booked. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hinted at minor ability before having wind surgery and the operation seemed to help as she forged clear of A Tickatickatiming on handicap debut over C&D (soft) in February; should make a go of it off 3lb higher. |

1st 3 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 0-5 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles with modest RPRs under this code, including over C&D, but she may take a step forward now handicapping on first start since wind surgery; behind Penn Avenue on latest effort. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ties in with Basilette on latest effort but that rival holds stronger claims kept to Stratford; has never won away from Plumpton and, despite a falling mark, her losing run is mounting up to boot. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Her last win was in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; mixed results over hurdles this year but was runner-up at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February and she finished a fair fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 19 days ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could be in the mix back in trip. |
12/1 |

4th 4 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Sole success over hurdles came in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; has shown bits of form since but was pulled up at Plumpton (2m, good) when last seen; difficult to enthuse over. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner; no easy task in a maiden last time and has run well in a couple of handicaps; could have a part to play if reacting positively to the new tongue-tie. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles and the worst of those runs was the latest in a handicap at Carlisle; gets all the allowances as a 4yo filly but others probably have greater upside even if she is back to something like her best. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-5 over hurdles but very consistent and every chance of being involved off a slightly reduced mark. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Now 9lb lower than when going close over hurdles at Plumpton (2m, soft) in January but was safely held in both chases this spring (2m3f/2m), and cheekpieces didn't appear to help much when used once previously. |
33/1 |

3rd 2 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-7 over hurdles though reaching the frame on three starts at Plumpton this year, all over 2m; made an underwhelming switch to fences last month at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) trailing in last of the five finishers; needs to raise her game. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
First foal of a useful jumps winner for her connections; duly showed some promise in bumpers; hasn't fared so well in maiden/novice hurdles but looks the type to improve sharply now qualified for handicaps; interesting. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hinted at a future in bumpers but weak in the betting for both runs over hurdles and hasn't featured; might be one for handicaps. |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Achieved little since her return last month (stable/handicap debut) from a lengthy absence, including when last of six finishers at Plumpton nine days ago; goes up in trip and while things can only get better, she's hard to suggest until showing something. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

Achieved nothing on return from lengthy absence last time (stable/handicap debut) but may fare better with that outing under her belt; showed some encouraging bumper/hurdles form in 2023-24. |

Juvenile hurdler in the summer/autumn of 2024, failing to progress from Newton Abbot win; absent and had wind surgery since; market may prove best guide to expectations on belated reappearance. |

2nd 4 |
4th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway and went second after 3 out, no extra approaching last, no chance with winner when jumped right last |
5/1 |

3rd 2 |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bought by Evan Williams after going close in 1m2f AW maiden in April and made good start to hurdling career when beating her ten rivals fairly comfortably over C&D (good) last month; obvious contender under penalty. |
