20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 4lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles; okay efforts over fences the last twice and now makes her belated Flat debut; probably best watched. |

3rd 7 |
30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 7lb |
Rattled up a hat-trick over hurdles last summer, at up to 2m3f; after seven months off, ran well on chase debut at Tramore, upsides Future Prospect when that one departed two out, then just got tired and finished behind Beauforts Storm; jumping was a bit novicey then, so should improve for the experience and the run. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
11st 8lb |
Has recorded her only two wins over hurdles at this venue, both over longer distances than this; stuck to her task over 2m4f here last October; failed to exploit a much lower chase mark here the following month and absent since. |
12/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
11st 3lb |
Sole win over timber came at this venue and went close over C&D in June; encouraging run at Listowel last month when only beaten half a length but disappointing at Punchestown last week; not ruled out given her propensity to go well at this venue. |
7/1 |
|

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |
10st 13lb |
Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help. |

Two hurdle wins here last year over a similar trip to this; maiden over fences but some fair efforts; poor at Roscommon last time but can do better back here. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Wexford last summer; chase form (0-6) lacks substance but she's potentially well in given hurdling exploits. |

Maiden hurdle winner over 2m3f here two seasons ago; little merit in her subsequent form until signs of a revival when third in a recent chase outing at Thurles. |

Three seconds from eight starts over fences, and just run out of it close home in Killarney handicap seven weeks ago; mark went up 4lb to 106 after that; apparent second-string for Gavin Cromwell, but has her chance. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |

Outclassed in a Grade 2 at Punchestown ten days ago and two seconds over fences suggest she could be a factor back in a handicap. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |

Modest point-to-point form from three starts; narrow winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle in August and ran respectably on chasing debut at Killarney in October; unseen since tailed off here later that month; in the mix if at her best. |

Is 0-9 over hurdles; runner-up twice, in a Listowel handicap (2m2f, yld-sft) in September and in a 2m4f Roscommon maiden later that month; not as good when fifth to Carry On Heidi in a 2m4f Clonmel maiden on next start; never threatened when hooded in a 2m handicap at Gowran ten days ago. |

With an official rating of 95, she comes into the reckoning. however, she looks flattered by her mark and has failed to make the first four in 11 starts (four bumpers, seven maiden hurdles); beaten 14l when sixth of ten at Fairyhouse in January; absent since. |
