Very useful hurdler, two wins and third in 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences but won at Killarney and Listowel last year; second in Grade 3 novice here in October; never counted at Fairyhouse after a break. |

Very useful hurdler, two wins and third in 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences but won at Killarney and Listowel last year, absent since decent second in Grade 3 Punchestown novice in October; has run well fresh so respected on return although trip on the short side. |

10st 12lb |
Very useful hurdler, two wins and a third in the 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences before winning readily at Killarney in May; well beaten in fourth Grade 3 novice chase at Galway; had an excuse at Killarney, restored to form at Listowel; mares' allowance gives her a fighting chance against King Of Kingsfield. |

Useful hurdler, though hardly prolific with a strike-rate of 2-19; has yet to reach the same heights in her four chases and was beaten a distance last time at Kilbeggan (2m4f). |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 0lb |
3-7 over hurdles but not the same level a chaser after eight attempts, okay run in 2m5f Cheltenham mares handicap in December, most recently chased home a ready 9l winner in similar Navan contest in February; 3lb wrong here so improvement needed. |

3-7 over hurdles but not much to show for seven runs over fences; pulled up in a novice chase at Fairyhouse last time (2m5f, yielding); tongue tie is applied now but Sophia Rose looks like the stable's main hope. |

10st 6lb |
It was a low-grade 1m4f handicap she won at Limerick 16 days ago and that was hard work; had made a good start to hurdling career until let down by her jumping when pulled up in a Downpatrick handicap; not bred for chasing but she's a 4yo filly receiving all the allowances. |
