6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 1lb |
Touched off in a 3m Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (heavy) in February off 121; made amends in a mares' handicap chase at Navan (20.5f, sft-hvy) later that month, winning readily by 9l; hiked up 10lb to 122 and steps back up in trip; could be more to come. |

Middling runs in two beginners chases; moderate effort back over hurdles in December but ran a career best when beaten a head in a Listed handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival last time (3m, heavy); wore first-time cheekpieces that day, which are now left off; runs off a 10lb lower mark for handicap chase debut; big contender. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 0lb |
3-7 over hurdles but not the same level a chaser after eight attempts, okay run in 2m5f Cheltenham mares handicap in December, most recently chased home a ready 9l winner in similar Navan contest in February; 3lb wrong here so improvement needed. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 90y |

3-7 over hurdles but not much to show for seven runs over fences; pulled up in a novice chase at Fairyhouse last time (2m5f, yielding); tongue tie is applied now but Sophia Rose looks like the stable's main hope. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Bumper and hurdles winner for Willie Mullins in 2023-24; failed to add tom her tally for Paul Kiely last year and off since an okay run at Navan in February; worth a market check on first run for Harry Kelly. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 90y |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; ran well in a Clonmel novice chase in December but poor in three starts following that, including when beaten 35l in a Thurles handicap last time (2m2f, soft); needs to come back to her best. |

11st 11lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; also second for the champion trainer in a beginners' chase last May; best run in six chase starts for this yard when third in a Clonmel novice handicap; out of her depth in a Grade 2 mares' event here last month; of some interest in this grade. |

10st 11lb |
Dual hurdle winner; in first-time cheekpieces when winning comfortably from the front at Wexford (2m3f, yielding) and coped with sort of mark over hurdles; respected. |

Dual hurdle winner; 0-5 chasing but mild encouragement last month over C&D when modest enough third to Connemara Shore (soft); much more needed and cheekpieces tried. |

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

Sligo maiden hurdle winner last August has run some fine races in defeat over fences since; had excuses for a poor run at Navan last time and the cheekpieces worn then are left off; has run well here before; chance. |
