9st 4lb |
Front-runner off the mark over 1m6f at Gowran, off basement Irish Flat rating of 40; fifth won at Leopardstown on Friday; went left up the straight last time and trainer feels she'll be better going that way, so might struggle on the bends here. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |
8st 10lb |
Career-best when runner-up in a 1m2f Navan handicap last October, though beaten 5l; made a lot of the running before fading to fourth over a shorter trip here 13 days ago on seasonal debut; should strip fitter now and the longer distance may suit |

Lightly-raced mare ran a career-best when runner-up in Navan (1m2f, yielding) handicap in October, but was 5l behind the winner; contender on her return if she's ready to roll. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

Modest on the Flat last year; ordinary form over hurdles until a much-improved display when winning a maiden at Thurles at the end of last month; interesting with Colin Keane booked for his Flat start since joining Cian Collins. |

Modest on the Flat and on the evidence of his three previous maiden hurdle efforts a rating of 97 might flatter him (best RPR 80); others appeal more. |

Four wins last year, two on the Flat, two over hurdles; placed twice on the Flat this season, beaten 7l when favourite for a 1m6f handicap at Sligo in May; good run when second in a mares' handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last month, well clear of the remainder. |

Four wins last year, two on the Flat, two over hurdles; placed twice on the level this year and good run from well out of the handicap in 2m Ballinrobe hurdle last time; this trip might just stretch her stamina. |

Has been running well on the Flat; fair hurdles record but 13lb out of the handicap here; tough task in the circumstances, though rider's 5lb allowance will help. |

Emphatically off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt at Ballinrobe in August (2m3f, good); form in behind not worth much; unable to justify favouritism in three Flat runs since then but they were creditable all the same; not discounted. |

Bit of promise over hurdles last year for Mags Mullins; made all to beat 18 rivals over this trip on good ground at Leopardstown; little wrong with stable debut third over 1m4f at Bellewstown (second touched off since); 2lb wrong matters little and front-runner is a player. |

Nicely improved to get off the mark off basement 40 rating at Leopardstown in May (beating Eastern Wind) for Mags Mullins under enterprising front-running ride (1m5f, good); up 6lb and debuts for new yard from okay draw. |

Three-time hurdles winner (also chase winner); 0-22 on Flat; fair placed form last season, though beaten 11l when third in this race 12 months ago; needs to step up on this term's outings at Gowran and Limerick. |

Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |

Five wins, two of them on turf, including 25-1 success over extended 1m6f at Bellewstown earlier this month; needed every yard that day, and his previous win was over 2m; got an 8lb rise, which is likely to prevent a follow-up; placed once in seven previous runs here. |
