10st 0lb |
In good form last year for Shane Nolan and better again this year in cheekpieces, backing up Down Royal success with decisive 2m2f Leopardstown success last month under hold-up tactics; up an aggregate of 19lb so more needed from 2lb out of handicap but in such good form has to be respected. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
In good form last year for Shane Nolan, winning off 98 at Limerick and running well in defeat off revised mark subsequently; seemed well suited by good ground at that stage, but proved she handles soft when a stylish winner at Down Royal six weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces; reversed previous Cork form with Catchabird. |

Bumper winner; took a long time to open her hurdles account, winning in good style at Thurles in January on her 17th attempt; not a bad run in a Navan conditions race before putting a blot on her record when pulled up in Fairyhouse race won by Katie Daniels; first reserve. |

Bumper winner is 1-18 over hurdles with the victory coming off a mark of 100 in decisive fashion at Thurles (2m4f, heavy) in January; ran a nice race when fourth in a Listed novice at Navan last time (2m4f, heavy); don't rule out. |

Made the breakthrough when winning a Wexford maiden hurdle last month before following up in a Navan handicap four days later; however, carries a double penalty and is the lowest-rated in this field so has a tough task on. |

Deserved her breakthrough win in a maiden at Wexford on Tuesday; handicap form has been consistent but a 7lb penalty may anchor her since; finished behind Maxios Prime at Leopardstown earlier in the month. |

Experienced mare with 13 hurdle runs under her girth and has run creditably in plenty of them, including at this track; rated only 96 but gets weight from several of these so that brings her into contention. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |
11st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Record of 1-27 with her win coming three years ago doesn't inspire hugely, but she has been running well in defeat recently; beaten a head at Down Royal in first-time cheekpieces off 62 in July (1m5f, good); creditable runs at Galway and Killarney following that (a neck behind Ehteyat at Killarney); interesting. |

No win since 2022 but went agonisingly close to ending the drought at Down Royal last month (1m5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces; merit in Galway fourth since so remains of interest. |

10st 12lb |
Having finished second at Naas in April, won this off 4lb lower last year and was third at Roscommon next time; hasn't threatened since on softer terrain but decent ground is key to her and she might bounce back to form; usual rider has jumped ship to Shannon Bank, but sub isn't too shabby. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Best form has come on good ground, including her sole win at Listowel in June off 89 (2m); ran well off 1lb higher at Roscommon next time when third (2m, good); hasn't run to the same level in four runs since (three on softer conditions); questionable as to whether this ground will be good enough but she's capable at her best. |

Gained third hurdles victory when landing handicap off 100 at Down Royal in March; good effort off same mark over fences when 3.5l second to Butty O Brien at Wexford 35 days ago; needs improvement back in a beginners', but in good form. |

Was gaining her third career hurdles win when returning to form at Down Royal last month, taking advantage of reduced mark and drop in grade over 2m5f (Rajjnatin third); 0-5 chasing, though was going okay when brought down three from home in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap; 3lb lower here so respected. |

Going okay when brought down on her penultimate start in a Fairyhouse handicap chase but didn't build on that back over hurdles here latest; moving back up in trip a plus and down in grade so not fully discounted. |

Modest overall form over hurdles; has run twice over fences (fell on latest) since finishing in mid-field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Gowran in November; before that, not a bad run when seventh in a 19-runner contest over 2m at Punchestown. |
