11st 7lb |
Last year's winner took well to fences this season, finishing second in Limerick Grade 2 over Christmas before going one better in similar company at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January; right at her best back hurdling in Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham when a clear staying-on second to Wodhooh (beaten 1l) having allowed winner first run (good); cheekpieces now fitted for the rematch. |

11st 5lb |
5-7 over hurdles; second to stablemate Lossiemouth in this last year before a Grade 1 win at the Punchestown festival, her second success at the top level; has taken well to fences this winter, finishing second in Limerick Grade 2 over Christmas before going one better in similar company at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January; most consistent and looks sure to go well back hurdling. |

10st 12lb |
5-7 over hurdles; second to stablemate Lossiemouth at Cheltenham last March before Grade 1 win at the Punchestown festival, her second success at top level; jumped untidily at times and more broadly disappointing on chase debut at Cork; showed sufficient improvement when second at Limerick to suggest she can beat the winner's stablemate Tareze. |

Last run on the Flat was at Leopardstown last September when she finished in the mid-division from a 3lb higher mark (1m5f, good); won a Listed mares' hurdle at Punchestown last November before being well beaten in three Graded hurdle starts; trainer may have a better prospect for this in Too Bossy For Us |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 42y |
10st 7lb |
Heavy-ground specialist; in fine form last season over hurdles with four wins in handicaps at 2m4f-3m1f; has blotted her copybook in recent months with an unseat and two refusals, the most recent three in a Grade 3 mares hurdle at Punchestown. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 23y |
10st 9lb |
Heavy-ground specialist in fine form last season over hurdles with four wins in handicaps at 2m4f-3m1f; looked likely to take advantage of 35lb lower chase mark at Tramore when last seen but refused to jump the last; tough task on these terms but market will be the best guide; blinkered. |

8st 9lb |
Very useful hurdler and course winner on the Flat here in 2m1f handicap off 5lb lower last month, following up Leopardstown (1m7f, good-to-firm) victory over Eagle Fang; meets that rival on better terms but has to put tame effort at Galway behind her. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
9st 13lb |
Very useful hurdler has come good on the flat of late on decent ground, winning Leopardstown maiden and following up in 2m1f Killarney handicap when allowed to dictate matters; up 7lb for that but can still go well. |
7/1 |

Five-time winner; travels well in her races and returned to the level in grand style when accounting for the very useful Eagle Fang in a QR contest at Leopardstown; looks a big player here. |

Five wins between hurdles and fences up to 3m; decent runs in defeat over hurdles and fences last twice so one to consider. |

2nd 11 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Mare won four times in 2024, including a pair of hurdles; winless since, but creditable efforts over fences last twice including fourth of 16 in Mayo National; trip and ground okay and has a chance at the weights. |
9/1 |
