| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6th 7 (2) | 6th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 | 8st 12lb | Often starts slowly; came from well back to win at Kempton (1m) in February; stiffer tasks since, 5lb out of the weights at Newcastle on Good Friday; has weakened on both her previous attempts at 1m2f. | 20/1 |
| 5th 9 (1) | 29th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 | 8st 2lb | Habitual slow-starter; came from well back to win a 1m handicap at Kempton last month but a similarly patient ride didn't pay dividends last time; looks up against it from 5lb out of the weights. | 33/1 |
| 7th 1 (8) | 21st Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 | 9st 11lb | Again blew the start but Mia Nicholls (on board for the first time) didn't panic and they did well to score given how slowly the race was run over C&D last week; races off just 3lb higher, but jockey claims 2lb less than last week; key player. | 9/4 |
| 1st 7 (1) | 14th Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 | 8st 5lb | 7lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) just over a year ago and 10lb lower than when third in this last season, but below her best lately as when fourth of five at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last Friday; much more needed. | 4/1 |
| 4th 1 (4) | 9th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 | 9st 6lb | Has failed to beat a rival in her last two starts at Southwell (7f/1m), but she has never shone there and has dropped 7lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) just over a year ago; considered down in grade with Tom Marquand taking over in the saddle. | 6/1 |
