A three-time 1m4f winner last summer but she ended 2025 under something of a cloud; has gone well fresh though so not out of things on her seasonal return.

Career-best form on her first three starts (1m4f, 1m5f and 1m3f handicaps) this season, two of them on good to firm, before she found a Listed race far too tough on latest outing; thereabouts if she bounces straight back.

Likeable front-running filly; made a winning return at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and typically gave her all when second at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks later; edging up the weights but set for another bold show.

0-6 but he has recorded an RPR of 84 or more in each of his last five starts; beaten at odds-on at Doncaster on his reappearance (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; stepping up to a marathon trip could prompt further progress, as could the new cheekpieces; shortlisted.

Ended up with plenty to do on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago, having been slowly away (restless in stalls) and hampered at the top of the straight; kept on for an encouraging fifth of 13 and it's unlikely we've seen the best of this brother to Irish Oaks winner Sea Of Class; has run well on good ground; interesting up in trip.

First two wins were at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) and last two have been over C&D (good to soft/good); his last success was on his stable debut last month and he backed that up with a front-running second at Pontefract (1m4f) last week; that was a four-runner race but he chased home a progressive stablemate who has scored again since; respected off same mark.
