10st 7lb |
Mostly reliable in the first half of last season; enjoyed a fine spell during which she notched two wins and two seconds; bolted up at Ballinrobe in May on her second start after a break; appears fortunate to have got away with a 6lb rise; strong chance with Harry Cobden booked. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |
10st 11lb |
Has been runner-up in six of her eight hurdle starts but there was no improvement tackling a first handicap at Ballinrobe last time; needs to find a bit extra to get the job done. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |

Runner-up in five of her seven hurdle starts; may score now after a solid display at Down Royal on her first run since November; suited by good ground. |

Third runner for yard; Flat maiden ran some fine races in defeat over hurdles last year but was below form last two starts; rated 106 so has a bit to find, but capable of a decent showing on return. |

10st 1lb |
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. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
10st 2lb |
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. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |

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. |

Progressive in handicaps in the first half of last season; gained a third handicap success in 2m4f Clonmel mares' event in October; was found wanting in conditions races later; tough task in this company; cheekpieces on for the first time. |

Progressive in handicaps last year; gained third win in 2m4f Clonmel mares' event in October; has been found wanting in conditions races since; may have needed recent Killarney run. |

Progressive handicapper was gaining a third win of 2025 when landing a 2m4f Clonmel mares' handicap in October in first-time tongue tie (yielding); her two outings in December against better company were not her best; the break may have done her good, but a bit to find. |

Useful as juvenile hurdler for Willie Mullins but didn't take to fences; three recent runs for Gordon Elliott haven't been great, but not ruled out. |

Rated 106 over hurdles; was beaten when falling in sole chase start in a Tramore novice (2m, soft); 8l fifth in handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest (16.5f, gd-yld); stamina in pedigree so could improve for this longer trip but others preferred. |

Bumper and hurdles winner has been disappointing overall over fences and in one hurdle run this year, except for when second of six over fences at Tramore (2m, good) on penultimate; others are more appealing. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 7lb |
Useful hurdler with placed form in Listed and Graded company as a novice; much improved on fourth chase start at Tramore when close second, around 2l in front of Pampar Lady in race in which Future Prospect departed two out; not sure to appreciate this extra half-mile. |
10/1 |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 130y |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Fairly consistent before winning a 2m handicap hurdle at the Listowel festival, an event well targeted by her trainer; probably needed Ballinrobe run in May. |

One of two for yard; some decent runs in defeat in maidens and wasn't disgraced on handicap debut at Killarney just over a month ago; down 2lb and handles an ease; could go well. |

Bumper winner; placed on all four maiden hurdle starts; well beaten in two handicap hurdle attempts; still relatively early days, so should not be ruled out. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner on this card last season; placed on all four maiden hurdle starts, two of them at this venue; ground was probably softer than ideal when she ran in a big-field handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse at Easter after a break; has plenty to find with fifth-placed Desert Haven but should be sharper now, and better ground will help. |
5/1 |

14th 11 |
6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Bumper winner; runner-up in three of her four maiden hurdles and she's likeably consistent; whether she's that well handicapped is another matter; hood added. |
