Won 18.5f maiden hurdle here last August (good); fit from the Flat when beaten 11l in Kilbeggan handicap hurdle on latest; same mark here; a bit more needed. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 10lb |
Emphatically off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt at Ballinrobe in August (2m3f, good); form in behind not worth much; unable to justify favouritism in three Flat runs since then but they were creditable all the same; not discounted. |
6/1 |

Generally dependable dual-purpose mare; stayed on well for a 4l third behind today's rivals Idomything and You Make Me Smile over extended 1m4f at Bellewstown (soft) last October; well fancied when third on seasonal debut at Navan; should be a bit sharper now and can uphold form with Mystic Rose and You Make Me Smile. |

Moderate on the Flat but has improved over hurdles; got first win under rules at Wexford in August (2m1f, good); form of that race not the strongest and was tailed off at Ballinrobe last time. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 60y |

Moderate Flat maiden but better hurdler, coming good at third attempt in 2m1f Wexford maiden earlier this month, up with pace throughout, finding lots from the last; form probably doesn't amount to much but going the right way and likes good ground. |

Modst Flat maiden but has run creditably in both maiden hurdle outings, at Clonmel and Downpatrick; this doesn't look a strong race so probably won't need to improve much to go closer. |

Steadily improving 4yo finished a clear second over 2m4f at Perth (good) early this month and 11 days later again clear of the remainder when beaten 2l by an odds-on shot at Downpatrick (2m2f, good), not fluent at last and tending to hang left but keeping on well in first-time hood; still a work in progress but major player. |

Half-sister to 2m7f hurdles winner So They Tell Me, from family of high-class mare Like-A-Butterfly; promising Tipperary debut in May but hasn't built on that in two runs since; big step up in trip here for handicap debut and any market support worth noting. |
