1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 3lb |
High-class mare has won eleven of her 20 starts over fences, including this race last year; as good as ever this season and won the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham on latest (Only By Night runner-up, Spindleberry fourth); top-rated here and best treated by race conditions; the one to beat. |

11st 5lb |
Runner-up in this race in 2024 (soft) and went one better last year (good to soft); made mistakes when beaten on return to action at Navan in November and has since posted easy wins at Fairyhouse (Grade 3) and Naas (Listed) when heavily odds-on each time; she's the one to beat. |

High-class mare is 9-18 chasing, including this race last year and Grade 2 Liberthine Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; beaten favourite on seasonal return in Fortria at Navan in November but back on track in landing long odds with ease in 3-runner Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, her first attempt at 2m6f; versatile mare, back in trip and remains very much the one to beat. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 3lb |
Last year's Arkle runner-up is 4-8 over fences; won a Naas Grade 3 on her seasonal return in November; disappointed in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown a month later but back on song when chasing Dinoblue home in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; big player again here. |

2nd 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Arkle here (2m, good to soft) 12 months ago and returned from a break with a game win Grade 3 against males at Naas (2m, soft) in November; unproven at today's trip and well beaten in Grade 1 against males at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December, but was badly hampered at the second fence; has an each-way shout if seeing out the distance. |

2nd 6 |
1st May 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 5lb |
Progressive mare whose record of 3-4 since switched to chasing features wins in Cork Grade 2 and Exeter Listed event, both against her own sex; belied her 25-1 odds with excellent second in dramatic Arkle most recently, edging ahead and looking the likely winner on the run-in only to be collared by the fast-finishing winner close home; had Majborough behind on that occasion but she might be reliant on the Mullins runner to falter in the jumping department again. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Ran in the Grand National 11 days ago, badly hampered at the second fence and falling at the third; won two high-profile handicaps last November before Listed win at Newbury and the drop back to 2m4f didn't appear ideal at the Cheltenham Festival; leading claims if none the worse for last time. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
10yo who is better than ever this term, including with a big handicap double in November in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) and Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); dropping back to 2m4f, however, was probably not ideal when creditable third in mares' race at Cheltenham last month; 8lb higher than in the Newbury race but her dominance that day is hard to forget. |
15/2 |

3rd 7 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
10yo who has been better than ever this term, completing a notable handicap double in November in the Paddy Power Gold Cup (2m4f, soft; here) and the Coral Gold Cup (3m2f, good to soft) before easily completing a hat-trick in a Listed mares' chase (2m7f, good to soft); the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus but rain would aid her cause and she's entitled to respect. |

11st 7lb |
Won first five chase starts, including two Listed mares' chases and a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse in April last year; came unstuck upped to 3m in the Irish Gold Cup and no match for Dinoblue or Only By Night at Cheltenham latest; badly in at the weights here and looks up against it on these terms. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Concedes weight all round and pulled up in the Irish Gold Cup last time, though was facing a very tough task against males on that first rules attempt at 3m; unbeaten over fences previously (2m4f-2m6f, various ground) including a Grade 1 win against males at Fairyhouse last April and a Listed stroll at Doncaster in December; races prominently; firmly in calculations. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 100y |
11st 3lb |
5-5 over fences, the highlight being her Grade 1 win against Firefox and other geldings at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft to heavy) in April; reappeared with a ready Listed win at Clonmel and followed up at Doncaster; first time over 3m since a point win in 2022; not a forlorn hope. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 3lb |
Won Grade 2 Arkle Trial over 2m at Cheltenham in November before finishing third in 2m1f event at Leopardstown in December; appeared not to stay the extended 2m4f in the Grade 2 mares' chase at the Cheltenham Festival; however, she was placed in a Grade 1 hurdle around this distance in France two seasons ago. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Made it 2-2 over fences in the Grade 2 Arkle Trial here (2m, soft) in November before finishing third in Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown in December (2m1f, yielding; albeit no match for the first two); has won over 2m4f but faded up the hill in the 2m4f Mares' Hurdle here 12 months ago; probably needs a career-best performance if she's to run into a place. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Dual bumper winner in France including a Grade 1 event and also won two hurdle races there; won a Leopardstown Grade 3 hurdle on second spell with this yard and respectable efforts in Grade 1 mares' races since; should be too good for these if jumping adequately on chasing debut. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner who left her first two rules runs miles behind when 25-1 Listed runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) last month on her chase debut and first outing since 2024; very unexposed but today's assignment demands another massive chunk of improvement. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Form comprises a success in Irish point, third-place finish in bumper and modest sixth in novice hurdle; absent for over a year and returns with tongue-tie fitted; should make a chaser but this looks a difficult starting point. |

Made all in heavy-ground Irish point in debut in October 2023 and came from off the pace for third in soft-ground Wetherby bumper in February; should have a future over hurdles but has fitness to prove here and others have more pressing claims; hood removed after one use. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Has rather mixed record over fences this season but belied 40-1 odds when close third in valuable Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) won by Bluey in January and last month's Cheltenham Festival defeat is easily excused; on good mark if on her mettle. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |

Five wins over hurdles; 0-4 since switched to fences but ran well off a handy mark in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) most recently; however, at the weights she has about a stone to find with the pick on ratings in this field. |

11st 2lb |
Highly progressive during last season's first chase campaign, culminating in Listed mares' win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in February; back to her best when beaten just over 6l by Spindleberry at Doncaster (2m4f, good; Listed) in December and she's 5lb better off with the winner today; won on heavy ground over hurdles; not ruled out each-way at forecast big odds. |

First season over fences could barely have gone much better with four wins from five starts, latterly in a 2m4f Listed event at Huntingdon (good to soft) which she won despite jumping out to her left throughout (previous wins were on left-handed tracks); every chance on these terms if resuming where she left off; goes from the front. |
