Her narrow second over two miles and a furlong at Bath in June is encouraging Flat form as she returns to hurdles after 143 days off. She also won over a mile and a half on Lingfield's all-weather in March, although that success came in a different discipline. Her hurdle third at Fontwell in August 2025, beaten four and a quarter lengths on good to soft, gives her something to build on. However, she was pulled up over today's course and distance on the same going in November 2025, so that Flat revival needs translating.

Successive hurdle wins at Wincanton and Taunton in April showed her effectiveness around two miles on good ground in this grade. She followed those with second at Stratford in May, but finished ninth there on 29 June, beaten fifteen and a half lengths. Her current mark of 86 is 9lb above her latest winning figure at Taunton, so reproducing that April performance may not be enough. She returns after 127 days off with Neil Mulholland having sent out five winners from 20 runners in the past fortnight.

Fell at Wincanton in March after finishing seventh at Taunton earlier that month, beaten twenty-nine and three quarter lengths, so her recent hurdle form needs improving. Her tenth at Ludlow in December 2025 also ended in a heavy defeat over today's two miles on good to soft, offering little reassurance about these conditions. She returns after 225 days off in a Class 5 handicap from 84, dropping a grade from those three hurdle assignments. Her sibling Don't Wind Me Up has won over hurdles, providing a little encouragement from the family.

Finished fourth at Market Rasen in March, but the placing masks a defeat of thirty-seven and a half lengths over two miles and half a furlong. She had been beaten 17 lengths there on soft ground in February, so neither effort makes a strong case on form. Today's Class 5 handicap is a lower grade than those assignments, and a mark of 83 gives her a different task after 233 days off. She represents Lucy Wadham, who has enjoyed success at Lingfield, with Tom Cannon taking the ride.

Fifth at Plumpton in January sounds modest, but she was beaten just two and three quarter lengths over two miles on soft ground. That was a much closer effort than her seventh at the same track in December 2025, when she finished twenty-five and a half lengths behind the winner. She returns from 281 days off on a mark of 82, 2lb below her January rating, which gives her a little more room. Freddie Mitchell has ridden a winner in the past fortnight, providing a little encouragement for her return to action.

Finished seventh at Worcester in October, beaten forty-two and a half lengths over two miles on good to soft, leaving her with plenty to find. Her fifth at Chepstow earlier that month also came over two miles on good to soft and ended in a heavy defeat. She now drops from Class 4 into a Class 5 handicap off 81, which offers a less demanding setting but still calls for substantial improvement. Paul O'Brien has ridden three winners from 23 mounts in the past fortnight, providing some encouragement from the saddle.

Her two-mile hurdle win at Chepstow in January 2024 came when rated 107, compared with 79 today, and gives the return to this trip some appeal. However, she was pulled up at Leicester in January, Hexham in March and Kelso in April, so her recent hurdle form is a major concern. She returns after 197 days off needing to rediscover the ability she showed at Chepstow. James Owen's 14 winners from 59 runners in the past fortnight offer encouragement that she comes from a yard going well.

Her third at Stratford in July, beaten three and three quarter lengths in Class 5, gives her a credible piece of form at this level. She failed to match it at Cartmel in August, finishing fifth and 17 lengths behind the winner, so needs to put that run behind her. Today's two miles is a furlong shorter than at Cartmel, while good to soft replaces the good to firm ground of her Stratford placing. Seamus Mullins has had two winners from eight runners in the past fortnight, offering some encouragement from the yard.

jockeyBenjamin Macey has a poor win record on Good Soft over minimum-trip hurdles - 1/20 wins (5%), 4/20 top-three (20%).
Third at Plumpton on 19 October, seven lengths behind the winner, she offered more encouragement than when well beaten at Bangor in September. She now runs from 77, 2lb below her Plumpton rating, with the two-mile trip and Class 5 company unchanged. The Plumpton placing came on good ground, whereas she encounters good to soft here. She was beaten 19 lengths in eighth over two miles on good to soft at Ludlow in December 2025, so that change is no obvious positive.
