Has won three times over hurdles in 2025 up to 3m, rising 16lb in the handicap; was poor at Roscommon last time but is capable of bouncing back so not dismissed. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 25y |
11st 13lb |
Gained her third win of 2025 at her trainer's local track on latest (20.5f, good); the fourth Shadow Paddy boosted the form at Listowel; stays this far and may be able to defy a 7lb rise. |

0-5 and rated 109 over timber; fell early on when 33-1 for chase debut in a beginners' at Kilbeggan last week and best hurdles run came on soft ground; probably best watched. |

Lightly raced and his best run was when second off 105 in a soft-ground handicap hurdle in January; will need to improve plenty for fences to be winning this. |

Is 0-15 over hurdles but has run well in defeat, including when a 6.5l fourth of 16 on latest over an inadequate 2m3f at Limerick (raised 2lb); stepping up to this trip will suit, good ground is fine and he holds leading claims. |

Things appeared to be picking up when second at Tramore (2m, good) but she weakened out of it at Sligo, finishing behind Theanniversary Man. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 157y |

Was having her 18th start when placed for the first time ten days ago; never far from the pace in that 2m Tramore contest; may feature again, but not guaranteed to reverse previous Wexford form with Cholo. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Hit form over hurdles this season, winning three times since November, going up 20lb in the weights; was poor in a Grade 3 last time and has to rebound even dropping in grade. |

1st 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Won handicaps at Tramore (2m5f) and Thurles (2m6f) lately, with a poor run at the former track in between; has been raised 8lb but gets in with a 7lb penalty so should go close with a repeat performance. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 126y |
10st 6lb |
Chase winner gained first hurdle win when landing a late gamble at Tramore off 90 in November (2m5f, soft; form boosted); disappointed in follow-up bid but raced on the deepest ground by the rail which proved costly; worth another chance with Mikey Kenneally taking off a valuable 7lb. |

Still a maiden after 20 starts; encouraging run at Fairyhouse in December but failed to complete or tailed off in three runs since and opposable as a result, despite fair looking mark. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Dual-purpose maiden is 0-10 over hurdles; ran okay at Fairyhouse (16.5f, yielding) in December off 88; hasn't repeated that in two runs since, including over this trip at Leopardstown on latest; others appeal more. |
