10st 11lb |
Breakthrough win here (20.5f, yielding) off 6lb lower last month and ran respectably off revised mark when a 5l fourth of 15 at Clonmel on latest (19.5f, good); place claims. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 157y |
10st 10lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Clonmel last month when dropped to 2m (soft); stamina test remains in doubt after moderate fifth at Tramore (20.5f) on latest; half-sister to high-class chaser Thunder Rock so must be of interest on chase bow back down in trip. |

Finished second to a well-handicapped rival at Punchestown (2m3f) in January and off the mark at Clonmel early this month when dropped to 2m (soft); 6lb rise workable, stamina test questionable. |

Breakthrough win came here on New Year's Day (2m6f, soft) off 85 and ran well off 9lb higher at Punchestown later same month; both runs since leave her with a fair bit to find and cheekpieces now added to usual tongue-tie. |

10th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 80y |
10st 2lb |
Hinted that this sort of trip might suit when staying on for a 12l fifth of 16 at Clonmel (2m3f, soft) in March; poor over 2m4f at Tramore latest, however, and has to prove her effectiveness on good ground. |

Well held so far in handicaps, although not discredited on latest of two runs for new yard at Clonmel when staying on late after an awkward start; may yet have more to offer off this lowly mark. |
