5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Punchestown maiden winner at slightly shorter (heavy); another for whom things didn't go her way in Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novice at Cheltenham but yard look the have stronger contenders here. |
40/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Held by Bambino Fever on bumper form but she has raised her game in maiden hurdles at Punchestown (heavy; won a bumper on good), finishing second to a good horse before accounting for a subsequent Leopardstown maiden winner with the pair in isolation; she'll need to unearth something from somewhere to threaten at this loftier level. |
50/1 |

1st 2 |
26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Unseated in sole point; beat La Conquiere on Rules debut in a bumper, and that rival is now rated 133 following dual wins in Britain and runner-up in Grade 2; slightly underwhelming bumper form after that, but positives to take from her hurdling debut here (2m, heavy) when 1.5l behind stablemate Espresso Milan, who followed up at Thurles next time; leading chance. |
9/4 |

3rd 1 |
9th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 0f 7y |
11st 11lb |
Second runner for yard; 170,000euros purchase unseated when holding every chance in her sole point-to-point; well-backed when making a winning Rules' debut in a mares' bumper at Thurles; well held by Switch From Diesel on Leopardstown running. |
9/2 |
