Ardad filly landed 1m novice at Chelmsford City before signing off for 2025 with an improved second of 5 in 1m Kempton nursery later in October. Has since undergone a breathing operation (also tongue tied) but still merits respect on her belated return.
|
Back to winning ways over C&D in May but not proving easy to catch right since, thirteenth of 15 at York (1m) 4 days ago.
|
Got off the mark in a novice at Catterick in April. Advanced her form with a very good second of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f) 26 days ago. That form has been franked so she's likely to go well again.
|
Showed a good attitude to get off the mark at Carlisle (7f) last month and backed that up with a good second of 9 at Beverley (1m) 25 days ago. Can go well again.
|
Gained reward for a series of good in-frame efforts with success in 10-runner handicap at Carlisle (7f) 20 days ago, doing well given she conceded first run. Big player nudged up 1 lb.
|
Opened her account at Wetherby (1m) in June and comes here on the back of a good second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7f) 15 days ago. In the mix once more.
|
Improved for switch to front-running tactics with wins here (7f) and at Musselburgh (1m) in June. Not disgraced off a 6 lb higher mark with fifth of 11 in handicap at York (1m) 19 days ago. Considered.

Forecasts
Homestrait (3/1), Sandy Craic (4/1), Borjina (9/2), Wild Dahlia (11/2), Kiss Me My Love (6/1), Thornaby Annie (15/2), Only Dream Big (11/1)
A case can be made for most of these but HOMESTRAIT deserves extra credit for scoring at Carlisle last time. She overcame a pace bias to win and can follow up here off just a 1 lb higher mark. Sandy Craic is proving a likeable sort and rates a big danger, while Borjina and Thornaby Annie can also play a prominent role.
- Homestrait3/1
- Sandy Craic4/1
- Borjina9/2
