9st 6lb |
Started season with back-to-back wins at Gowran, a 1m handicap (soft) and a 9.5f Listed race (10.5f, gd-yld); not disgraced in 1m Group 2 here (good) last month and again ran well when beaten 1l in 1m (good) Listed race at Navan three weeks ago; this longer trip fine and preferred by Browne-McMonagle, but rated 100 so needs to find more in this company. |

Down the field in a Group 2 event at the Curragh a fortnight ago; had previously stamped herself as an improving filly with two Gowran wins, the second of which was in this grade, earning a 3lb penalty; 100-rated filly is joint top-rated on official ratings with two of the younger generation. |

Record of 0-13 for current yard but her 2026 Listed form (over shorter) is encouraging, including as regards this step back up to 1m4f; stable had a great week at Royal Ascot; this may be the time to catch her. |

Poor strike-rate of 1-18 but has run plenty of solid races in defeat, including in Listed company; fine effort on seasonal return when 3l behind Beset in Listed heat at Naas (10.5f, soft); not beaten far when fifth of 12 in Longchamp Listed race latest (10.5f, gd-sft); place chance but overlooked by McMonagle. |

C&D maiden winner on yielding to soft last September; good third on seasonal return in Listed heat at Gowran (9.5f, good to yielding) but soundly beaten in another Listed race at Naas on latest (1m1f, good); moves up in grade and trip; new headgear combination needs to eke out more. |

Second to the top-class Minnie Hauk on debut at Leopardstown in 2024 (1m, soft); off the mark on her fourth and final start of 2025 in a 1m2f Curragh maiden; achieved a clear career-best when third at Gowran a month ago, closely matched with Lemsairbat. |

Got to within 0.5l of the top class Minnie Hauk on debut at Leopardstown in 2024 (1m, soft); off the mark on her fourth and final start of 2025 in a 1m2f Curragh maiden (yld-sft); rated 88 and this looks too big an ask on her seasonal return. |

Won three of four starts last season, including a C&D Group 3 by 7l on heavy ground; also placed in a Naas Group 3 on good ground; solid return when a 2.5l third in the 1m Park Express at the Curragh last month; step back up to this trip a plus and should be too good for these, even giving weight away. |

Enjoyed a hugely promising campaign last season, landing a Naas maiden and Killarney conditions race impressively before finishing 1.25l second to subsequent Group 1 winner Barnavara in Naas Group 3; finished off with a smart performance in Group 3 at Gowran over extended 1m1f, powering 7l clear (RPR 114); drop in trip no problem and the one to beat on return. |

Has done most of her racing at 1m, odds-on for her sole win in a Killarney maiden last autumn; this trip may stretch her stamina; on the plus side, this represents a drop in class after two Listed attempts. |

Off the mark for this yard in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap (soft) 19 days ago; all three of her wins have come in handicaps on soft/heavy and she was well held on her only previous try at this level at Gowran in May; cheekpieces go on; Shaool looks yard's best hope. |

Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; good efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy) and at this course (1m2f, yielding to soft; had Couer d'Or behind) on first two runs for this stable; outclassed in Listed grade at Gowran but a big player if the ground deteriorates. |

Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; solid efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) and Leopardstown (1m2f, yld-sft) on first two runs for this stable; up against it on the figures here but if there's heavy rain she could sneak into the money. |

AW winner is 0-8 on turf and yet to trouble the judge; rated just 77 and beaten in a Limerick handicap on latest; surely out of her depth in this company. |

Four turf wins, including this race last year, beating Cloud Seeker by a short head; not far behind Iron Fist on seasonal debut at Cork; out of her comfort zone in a Listed race at Gowran last time; respected now on the same mark as 12 months ago. |

Impressive 5l Curragh maiden winner over 1m (good) on debut last June; 10l third in heavy-ground C&D Group 3 next time out; trailed in last of 10 on seasonal return in Group 3 at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) but was reportedly showing signs of being in season; tongue tie now goes on; could improve for return to a sounder surface. |

An impressive maiden winner over C&D in June; coped well with step up in class and far softer ground when 10l third to Faiyum at Gowran Park lto; off 195 days; down in trip; progressive type but likely to struggle to turn the tables with Faiyum off 3lb better terms. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |

Was an impressive debut maiden winner over 1m (gd) at the Curragh in June; this is a significant step up in class on much softer ground so others make more appeal. |
