Placed several times for previous yard and made the most of good opportunity in Warwick maiden hurdle (21f) on debut for new yard in October. Jumped poorly back chasing next time and similar story returned to hurdles when third at Plumpton since, suggesting her mark is fair if keeping errors down.
|
Back to form with a bang to win Ffos Las mares' handicap (2¾m, soft) in November, albeit very much suited by the way that developed. Not in the same form when sixth of 10 at Ludlow (21f) 12 days ago. Bounce back needed.
|
Maiden Irish pointer but off the mark at third attempt over hurdles in mares' novice here (19f, soft) last February. Struggled in a handicap hurdle/chase at Cartmel over the summer but better back from a break when third at Haydock (3m) in December. Claims if she can build on that.
|
Point/bumper winner. Brought along steadily in maiden hurdles and improved for the switch to handicaps, finishing runner-up twice over 2½m at Leicester on soft/heavy at the end of 2025. Too keen when stepped up to 3m at Taunton last month but the returning hood could help her to settle better.
|
Sole success in a mares' maiden at Musselburgh last February. Back to that sort of form when narrowly denied in 3m Musselburgh handicap just before Christmas and respectable fourth back there (3m again) 15 days ago.
|
Modest form at best in a bumper and 3 qualifying runs over hurdles but it wouldn't be a big surprise were this well-bred filly to raise her game now handicapping over a longer trip. Also tongue tied first time. One to note in the betting.
|
Won staying handicap hurdles at Kelso and Ayr last season. Good second at the latter venue (3m, heavy) last month and could play a prominent role with her yard among the winners.
|
Won staying handicap hurdles in the mud in 2023/24 season. Drawn a blank since but latest 2½m Newcastle fourth creditable and the step back up in trip could see her in a better light. Enters calculations.
|
Much improved when winning handicap at Cartmel last summer. Back to that level when narrowly denied at Wetherby (3m, heavy) last month but needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Southwell since.

Forecasts
Keppel Queen (15/8), It's Maisy (7/2), Smile Back (6/1), Vroomoz Eile (17/2), Maura Jeanne (9/1), Lizzie Luna (10/1), Hellfire Princess (11/1), Moveonbuy (14/1), Zhanma Enki (33/1)
MAURA JEANNE arrives in form and Ian Duncan is among the winners so there are reasons to be hopeful about her prospects. Keppel Queen is a potential big threat if she can cut out the mistakes which compromised her chance at Plumpton. It's Maisy is also respected stepping back up to 3m+.
- Maura Jeanne9/1
- Keppel Queen15/8
- It's Maisy7/2
