Has taken well to chasing this term, winning 2m4f Wexford beginners' and acquitted herself well in stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 Limerick mares' novice, most recently landing odds in weaker four-runner 3m1f Grade 3 novice at same track in late March, making most from halfway; those runs came in testing conditions but handles better ground; likely has more to offer. |

10st 7lb |
Has taken well to chasing this term, winning on debut in 2m4f Wexford beginners' and acquitted herself well in much stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 mares' novice here at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); unseated early in 3m1f Leinster National on latest but major player here back against her own sex. |

11st 0lb |
Made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase early last season; uneven form since then, best effort when a 2 3/4l runner-up to Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice last November; second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice in April; has struggled in big-field handicaps and was 100-1 when pulled up in the Galway Plate. |

One of eight for trainer; made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase last summer but hit and miss since, best effort when a 2.75l runner-up behind Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice in November; bounced back from two poor runs in big-field handicaps when second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice last time; big fields may not be his thing. |

11st 0lb |
Made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice' last summer but has been hit and miss since, best effort when runner-up in a Cork Grade 3 novice; poor runs in very competitive Leopardstown handicaps last twice but drop in class makes her a leading player. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |
10st 7lb |
Sole win came in a Punchestown 2m6f handicap hurdle over a year ago; back to form of late in finishing runner-up at same venue and in 3m5f Leopardstown handicap chase; tough task at the weights here. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 4f 61y |
10st 11lb |
Sole win came in a Punchestown 2m6f handicap hurdle over a year ago; mostly disappointing in starts over fences; reverted to hurdles at Punchestown last time with a promising second; more likely to find her second victory in that sphere. |

Sole win came in a 2m6f handicap here just over a year ago before a poor run in this race; mostly over fences since and largely disappointing; needs a return to best. |

Five wins over hurdles, the most recent at Kilbeggan in June; 0-15 record over fences is a negative; undependable lately. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 67y |
11st 7lb |
Five hurdle wins include 3m2f handicap here last summer and more recently 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in June; 0-14 chasing however, runner-up in mares' beginners' last autumn but most recently pulled up after running no sort of race in 3m2f Kilbeggan handicap last month; belatedly tried in a tongue-tie. |

Has a good record over hurdles at this venue; has yet to score in 13 starts over fences; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; stablemate The Dara Man is more interesting. |
