Has a patchy profile and it was only her third win in 32 starts when beating six rivals in a tight finish at Chepstow in April (2m7f, soft); record when fresh is none too inspiring, either.

27th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Likeable mare who is a previous C&D winner and returns to this track on the back of solid efforts; couldn't rule out, though has little margin for error off current mark. |

23rd Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) last April and followed up here (2m5f, good to soft) in November on reappearance; good runs in defeat here the next twice, most recently going close over C&D; could be bang there once more. |

7 yo Mare
OR: 94
Has won both her races following wind surgery by neck margins (3m, soft; 2m5f, heavy); they didn't go much of a gallop last time at Newton Abbot, and that probably inconvenienced her more than most; up in the weights but likely to go well.

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won consecutive handicaps in 2023, over C&D (soft) and 2m5f (heavy), and didn't look done with from a handicapping viewpoint when fourth at Newbury in January (3m, soft); likely contender down in grade. |
12/1 |
4th 16 |
23rd Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Seemingly all the better for wind surgery when winning 3m/2m5f (soft/heavy) handicaps by neck margins; got edged out by an exposed mare at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) since but returning to further should benefit her; she's not without hope. |

OR: 96
Runner-up in a small field at Uttoxeter before going one better in a Class 5 at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) when tongue tied for the first time; will need more here to defy a 4lb rise but still lightly raced and has had wind surgery.

7th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has done her winning in Class 5 but it was a good performance to defy top weight at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) most recently; goes into unknown territory at this level, upped two grades. |

1st 1 |
20th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over fences here (2m3f, heavy) in February but we haven't seen her since an underwhelming hurdle run in April and her current mark demands a career-best performance. |
10/1 |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Switched to fences the last twice, winning at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) then pulled up at Exeter; consistent sort over hurdles but has stamina to prove at this distance and remains on career-high mark to boot. |

Victoria Malzard was also aboard for her last three wins for Oliver Sherwood, all at about 3m on good and soft ground; didn't win any of them by far and only seems to do enough, so could still be competitively treated; effective over this shorter distance.

26th Apr 2024 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won five of her first 13 starts over hurdles but she's been held in last three runs, including a 21l defeat at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in December; drops back in grade after a break but she looks weighted near her best and others are preferred; tongue-tie added. |

27th Dec 2023 Good 3m 0f 121y Class 2 |
10st 2lb

Won three handicaps on the trot between April and June, at 3m1f-3m2f (on soft and good); excused an Exeter defeat after a break but she couldn't hold her position when fifth to Gaye Legacy at Market Rasen in November (2m7f, good to soft) and needs more. |

Winning three of her last four has come at a cost ratings-wise but she's not looked back since the blinkers went on and there could be further improvement to come; obvious claims.

Seems ideally suited by good/good to soft; productive spell in 2023 featured three wins (2m4f/2m7f); well beaten over fences on sole run this year and now returns from another layoff; market helpful. |

Lucky to win at Newton Abbot in May when left clear; can be her own worst enemy by refusing to settle and she shot off into a clear lead before collared late on back at Newton Abbot last month (2m5f, soft); comes with risks, especially on this stiffer track.

Won by 8l over hurdles here (2m2f, good) in May 2023 but has been badly out of form this year, with the addition of blinkers not appearing to help much this month; revival needed on today's chasing debut. |

Ex-French filly; the horse she beat (narrowly) at Cagnes-Sur-Mer (2m1f, heavy) last December has looked very limited in Britain; likely that she's stuck on a tough mark for handicap debut.

14th Nov 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |

Hasn't shown a great deal since arriving from France and has failed to complete in her last three starts, all chases; no headgear this time for new trainer; risky. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over hurdles in France in 2022 but has not shown a great deal in Britain and was pulled up in her first two chases; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers here; can't be recommended. |
66/1 |
