1st Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 77y |
9st 11lb |
Grand dual-purpose mare was second in a division of this last year, and went on to win readily (in a visor) on heavy at Galway; some good runs in defeat this year and headgear back on; notable jockey booking too. |
7/1 |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 208y |
10st 6lb |
Won three times under both codes last year (twice at Sligo); best hurdles run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares' handicap in June (good); solid effort when third at Sligo (2m5f) on latest, but she's better over shorter than this. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 168y |

Won here under both codes last year, including 2m2f mares' handicap hurdle off 81; best hurdle run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares handicap in June (good), poor run on the Flat at Tramore since; unproven over this far. |

Five-time winner including two here over 2m; scored over 2m4f at Cork in November; well below that level in three starts since but could rebound now dropped into this grade. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Ended a long losing sequence with Gowran win in April, the third success of a 44-race career that has also seen him place on eight occasions; not beaten far in fifth at Cork on latest. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
8st 12lb |
Gained third win with C&D handicap success in April, beating Khormor Syd by 1.25l; ran respectably off 4lb higher last time at Cork; enjoys soft ground and needs more to defy mark. |

Back to form for third career win when landing Gowran handicap over slightly shorter last month (soft) off career-low mark (beating strong-finishing stablemate Khormor Syd); wants it soft, may not confirm that form now. |

Maiden was touched off over C&D on last year's card, and some good efforts on soft or heavy ground in the autumn; form not as good this term and was too keen in cheekpieces when beaten 7l by Deluca Chop at Navan last time. |
