10st 0lb |
Won first four races for this stable at around this trip and ran well again here at Christmas when third to Duke Silver, having made most; blinkers now replace cheekpieces but has it to do from 5lb out of handicap, and ideally may want better ground. |

10st 9lb |
Record of 1-21 over hurdles; best effort this term when runner-up at Wexford over 3m but was poor since at the same track; a squeak if rebounding. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Back on song when coping well with good ground over this C&D (good), beaten just 0.5l by Small Town Hero; 4lb swing gives her real prospects of turning that form around; chance. |

Hasn't won since scoring at Limerick over 2m6f (yld-sft) in July 2023; trip too sharp latest at Clonmel but she may need softer ground. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 7lb |
3-26 over hurdles; runner up the last twice, off 5lb lower at Leopardstown and then off 3lb lower at Cork when 1.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme; weighted to turn that around but may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts. |
14/1 |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Running consistently well over fences/hurdles this season; three seconds from four starts before a Limerick win; held her own when given a shot at a big prize at the DRF; runner-up at that venue on latest; in the mix again. |

Running consistently well over fences and over hurdles this season; three seconds from four starts before a Limerick win; held her own when given a shot at a big prize here at the DRF; not far off Whimsy and Maxios Prime, and in front of Tequila Talkin' and Shoda. |

11st 2lb |
Won handicaps at Downpatrick (2m6f) and Down Royal (3m) last August; not as good at Listowel in September; pulled up on return at Clonmel (2m7f, good); needs to come back to her best. |

Won handicaps at Downpatrick (2m6f) and Down Royal (3m) last August; not as good off this mark at Listowel when last seen and will have to be at her best after an absence. |

26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 0y |

Made light work of a 6lb rise for her 2m6f Downpatrick (good) win when following up at Down Royal (3m, gd-fm); raised another 7lb for that 2.5l success; can go well again, though wouldn't want it too soft. |

Off the mark over C&D in May last year (good) and second in similar event subsequently off 99; recent Clonmel comeback run should have brought him on and one for the shortlist. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |

Got off the mark over hurdles at Wexford on return from a break in May last year (2m1f, good) and second in similar event after; yielding to soft ground unlikely to his liking when always behind at Thurles when last seen in Nov'; not discounted. |

Winless from 33 starts under rules; recent efforts over fences here and hurdles at Kilbeggan suggest he's not going to change that today. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 20y |
10st 2lb |
Record of 0-32 under rules; best of three point runs last season when runner-up at Dromahane last month; made a bad mistake at the ninth when a remote sixth over fences at Limerick ten days ago. |

11st 5lb |
Is 0-10 over hurdles; hasn't really built on promising Tipperary fourth in May (3m1f, gd-yld); beaten 23l when fifth on latest in a Killarney handicap chase; needs more off this mark back over hurdles. |
14/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 61y |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 180y |

11st 1lb |
3m Punchestown handicap hurdle winner off a similar mark in June but below that level since; little encouragement in two starts for new yard, pulling up on soft ground then well beaten (46l) at Stratford; has plenty to prove on current evidence. |
50/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Beat a big field at Punchestown (3m, good to yielding) last June but mostly well held afterwards and was sold for £1,200 in November; soft ground may well have been against her when pulled up at 125-1 on stable debut in January, but others have more pressing claims. |
25/1 |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 100y |

Placed form in maidens in 2023 over shorter trips; did not appear in 2024; no show over 2m2f at this venue before profiting from a step up to 3m at Wexford; could be in the mix again off 5lb higher. |
