28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Mixed form since winning a Sligo maiden hurdle (extended 2m1f, good) in August 2025 but, having posted one of her better efforts at Cork, was well beaten at Roscommon (3m) last month on her final start for Eric McNamara; subsequently sold for £10,000 and could be involved if recapturing her best form. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 210y |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner last August; made three undistinguished appearances over fences before reverting to hurdles at Cork last time; should be sharper for the run; worth market check. |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner who was then beaten about 20l in a handicap; has since raced three times over fences, not kicking on from a fair first effort; hard to make a solid case. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 193y |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner as a 4yo for former yard; 0-10 hurdling but just denied in C&D maiden a year ago; form this year not as good, fading tamely in mares' handicap at Galway last week; declining mark but still looks to have a bit to find. |
9/1 |

13th 14 |
29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 7lb |
Useful form for previous yards; still early days with Charles Byrnes and perhaps went off too fast in maiden company at Kilbeggan (2m2f, good; favourite); often leads and dominating a field of this size won't be easy. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 160y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner for Peter Fahey and some solid efforts over flights last summer for Gavin Cromwell; cheekpieces tried here after an okay run at Downpatrick last time; should be a player in a tricky contest. |

Dual-purpose maiden placed over hurdles for Gordon Elliott; poor first two runs for this yard before fair third of 15 in Down Royal maiden hurdle (2m4f) in April; needs improvement returning from a break. |

Dual-purpose maiden had been placed over hurdles for Gordon Elliott but has been poor in two starts for this yard (both here) and needs improvement on her best form anyway. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 2lb |
Placed in five of her last six handicaps, narrowly denied at Limerick (2m3f, soft to heavy) last winter and close at Clonmel in April (2m, soft); no match for winner upped to 2m5f at Tramore later that month; suspicion is she will need soft ground; tongue-tied after a break. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Placed in three of her last four races, every chance if a step up in trip does the trick after a recent second placing in a 16-runner 2m contest at Clonmel; more mature now than when fading in the closing stages over C&D last November. |
9/2 |

Second foal; dam unplaced in points/bumper, closely related to 2m/2m4f hurdle winner Howyabud, half-sister to bumper and useful 2m-2m1f hurdle/chase winner Maria's Benefit; not a bad pedigree but seems to be the stable second-string on debut. |
