Both wins in Ireland, a 7f AW handicap and a maiden hurdle on good; up and down in ten runs for this yard but was bang there in the latest at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); hard to rule out. |

Belied 50-1 odds when very respectable fourth over C&D (good) 11 days ago and is 1lb lower now but her record in Britain is very mixed and others in this line-up are more persuasive. |

11th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Placed in two juvenile hurdles for Gordon Elliott in Ireland last summer but both Flat runs for Laura Mongan have been disappointing; beaten 30l (albeit on soft ground) in recent Windsor handicap and looks risky on today's handicap hurdle debut. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Expensive to follow in Ireland, including over hurdles, and is with her third yard already (picked up for £10,000 last autumn); is better off now into a handicap but needs a deal more back from a layoff. |
12/1 |

1st Dec 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish filly formerly with Johnny Murtagh and Gordon Elliott; finished third on three occasions for the last-named, including on her final start in a 1m4f Gowran maiden; bought for £10,000; should give a decent account. |

Won the fourth race of her career when running away with a Ballinrobe handicap over just short of 1m2f; disappointing off higher marks since but has a chance down to this grade. |

Returned to form with creditable second at Taunton (2m, good) last month, his third start for David Brace, but was pulled up on recent chasing debut and has become hard to predict. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but had been badly out of sorts prior to his second at Taunton (2m, good) last month; now switches to fences and needs to build on that revival, though he remains attractively treated on old form. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but has struggled for form since, including on both starts for this stable; latest C&D effort offered a glimmer of encouragement and he's well treated on old form, but he needs another step forward today. |

8st 10lb |
Dual-purpose; 5-55 on turf on the Flat but on losing run since scoring at Leopardstown (1m4f, heavy) in October 2024; is now 17lb below that win and she shaped promisingly over an inadequate 1m here 13 days ago in a first-time tongue tie (retained); could go well back up in trip. |
