13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 100y |
10st 2lb |
Gained a first win on turf over this C&D 18 days ago with a career best, rallying well under pressure and a 4lb rise looks workable; much better draw this time and has to be high on the shortlist. |
4/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 110y |
9st 13lb |
Belatedly opened her account on the AW (1m2f) in March off 52; pick of three turf runs since when close second at Leopardstown last month (1m1f, good), didn't count in similar event last time; bad draw but still respected. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Belatedly opened her account on the AW in March off 52; bounced back from a poor run on soft ground at Navan when a close second at Leopardstown last month (1m1f, good); stayed on well to pull clear with the winner that day; raised 4lb but is a contender. |

Some promise in maidens but didn't kick on when sent handicapping at the back end of last season; doesn't look well treated on anything she's done so far and off 271 days. |

9st 5lb |
Legs two and three of her January hat-trick for Ian Williams came here (7f/1m); went off the boil for him and hard to fancy on what she's done in three starts for this yard. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time winner early in 2026, including over C&D, for Ian Williams; not discredited on just her second run for current yard when fifth in 1m handicap here two weeks ago; in the mix off a slipping mark. |
20/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Rattled off a hat-trick here and at Newcastle in January, but she was disappointing last time on her first outing since leaving Ian Williams; needs to bounce back. |

Is 0-19 on turf but has been running well in defeat recently, including over C&D on heavy on his penultimate start; beaten just 1l on latest and same mark here; claims. |

3rd 2 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 44y |

0-20 but best run for this yard when beaten half a length in a heavy ground Gowran handicap (1m) last month; well treated if he can build on that and handles quicker ground. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Maiden has run well in defeat three times at this track over the season but was below form at Punchestown four days ago; could bounce back returning here and handles this ground. |

Dual-purpose gelding who won on the Flat last month; finished well for third over hurdles at Punchestown but over 2m and stamina could be an issue over this far on chase debut. |

Didn't jump with fluency when running no race in sole hurdles start at Punchestown in 2024 for Noel Meade; bagged a Flat win at Clonmel in September off 48 (1m2f, soft); moderate form in three Flat starts since. |

Belatedly came good last year with a string of placed efforts and a win over 9.5f here (beating Skib Gold); not as effective over longer trips after and has been off since falling over hurdles in October. |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Won a low-grade Flat handicap at Gowran in August and fourth at Down Royal last time; the last of her five modest hurdle runs was nearly three years ago; still, can't be ruled out. |

Dual course winner at 1m off higher marks than this; weakened into an 8l seventh when last seen here in January over C&D; 3lb wrong but on a dangerous mark if returning to form. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Twice a 1m course winner, the latest in November off 8lb lower; soundly beaten on last four starts, including twice over the extended 1m2f; now drops to 7f for the first time in the 20th race of his career; hard to be sure how he will cope. |
