15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 5lb |
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. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
12st 0lb |
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. |

Maiden point-to-pointer has improved in two runs for Gordon Elliott; finished runner-up here last month (2m5f, yielding) when beaten just 0.75l and keeping on; filled the same position at Downpatrick two weeks ago (2m6f, yielding to soft) when 7.5l behind the reopposing Cozone; 9lb swing with that rival now; big player. |

Maiden point-to-pointer ran her best race by far when a runner-up on stable debut at Down Royal last time (2m5f, yielding), rallied and kept on that day; up 3lb but she's a player. |

Some decent form when trained in Britain; couple of fair efforts in handicap hurdles since joining this yard, including when fifth of 12 here (2m6f) last time; 99-rated hurdler should be in the mix if she takes to larger obstacles. |
