1st 6 |
22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 3lb |
A 19-race maiden over hurdles but a player judged on C&D third off 13lb higher in March 2025 and good fourth at Down Royal on return off 8lb higher; sent off 13-2 when well beaten behind Gangster Granny latest but she's becoming well treated now. |

No wins from 21 starts but some good efforts all the same, including when a close second here in a 2023 maiden (2m4f, soft); returned from an absence here last time when keeping on for a 14.5l fourth (2m5f, yielding); that should have brought her on. |

Exposed mare; has won one of her 15 points but yet to win in 12 starts over hurdles, although has been placed on six occasions; only gave way late on over 26.5f at Perth nine days ago; should give her running again off lower Irish mark. |

Placed in a Sligo maiden for Gavin Cromwell; highly promising stable debut when runner-up to Gangster Granny over C&D on latest, headed close home; effectively 7lb better off with the winner factoring in the rider's claim so should go well. |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Best of four maiden hurdle runs was an 8.5l third of 15 at Sligo in first-time cheekpieces (17.5f, good); headgear left off at this track last time when well beaten (2m2f, good); hood goes on now, and she could be an improver entering handicaps. |

Last two runs have been reasonably encouraging; stayed on late over 2m4f at Sligo after meeting trouble; no match for an easy winner over 3m at Wexford last time, but proved her stamina with that run; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie. |
