10st 9lb |
Has been in the form of her career this season, winning handicap hurdles at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan before finishing a close third at Galway; now rated 129 in that sphere so has to be respected on Flat debut over a trip that will suit. |

11st 8lb |
Has been in the form of her life at present, winning handicaps at Ballinrobe (2m) and Kilbeggan (2m4f); got a 10lb rise for that and back down in trip but still has to be on the shortlist. |

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. |

Stable won this in 2022 and 2023; this mare is 0-9 over hurdles but has finished runner-up seven times, including her sole handicap start two outings ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |

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. |

10st 11lb |
Won here under both codes last year, including 2m2f mares' handicap hurdle off 81; best hurdle run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares handicap in June (good), poor run on the Flat at Tramore since; unproven over this far. |

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. |

Rated 120 over hurdles with four wins to her name; was a ready winner on chase bow last time at Wexford; this is tougher but gets plenty of weight and can be a player. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |

Progressive in handicaps in the first half of last season, gaining a third handicap success in 2m4f Clonmel mares' event in October; back to her best in first-time cheekpieces in 2m1f Limerick Grade 3 early this month, staying on for third behind two much higher-rated rivals; dam has already produced a couple of winning chasers so quite possible she could improve for the switch to fences. |

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. |

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. |
