11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Maiden in ten runs but has threatened to break it the last two times when runner-up at Gowran Park (9.5f, soft) and Limerick (1m4f, yielding); unlucky last time having hit the front and nailed on the line; up another 3lb but ground will suit and can go close again. |

Knocking on the door, runner-up in three of last four starts; however, all three of those runs came on rain-softened ground and concerning that her three previous runs on good ground have resulted in heavy defeats. |
5/2 |

2nd 12 (12) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |

Lightly raced and improved for switch to handicaps when 1.5l second at Naas (1m, good) in September; went close again when beaten a neck up 4lb at Gowran Park after on heavy; ran poorly on return six days ago at Fairyhouse but slight drop back in trip and testing conditions could see her play a part. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
9st 2lb |
Six career wins and undergoing a real new lease of life this season with victories in handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown; 11lb rise for those two wins is not excessive and every chance of going close once more. |
4/1 |
|
1st 10 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) in May, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third; no match for Yquem over C&D three weeks ago; could struggle to turn the tables on the in-foal winner. |

Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) last month, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third last week, only a nose behind Ella's Gold who bids to advertise the form in the first heat; makes plenty of appeal. |

Step in the positive direction on seventh start when beaten 4.25l into third by Majestic King at Gowran Park (1m, good); failed to back that up at same track 22 days ago when ninth; steps up in trip, lightly raced and trainer in good form. |
16/1 |

Ran her best race so far when third behind facile winner Majestic King over C&D early this month; 25-1 then, deserves to be a prime fancy now, with the champion jockey maintaining the partnership. |

9st 8lb |
Last turf win came at Naas nearly two years ago (off 63); standout run this term when C&D third (neck off second-placed Jasmine Affanalis) in May, most recently didn't seem to get home at Bellewstown; Colin Keane booking takes the eye. |
15/2 |

6th 8 (3) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 211y |
9st 9lb |
Last turf win came at Naas in August 2024 (7f, good); signs he could capitalise on sliding mark when close third at Killarney (1m, good) in May but disappointing favourite at Listowel next time; failed to see out 1m1f on soft at Leopardstown on latest but definite player at his best. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
8st 13lb |
Best run when fourth in a fast-ground handicap at Leopardstown last month over a similar trip; needs to bounce back here, but has the plum draw and certainly respected on that form. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Twice made the frame in soft-ground 7f Gowran handicaps in the spring; finished well when fourth against older horses over 1m1f on fast ground at Leopardstown, but bombed over 1m3f at Naas last time; yet to string two good runs together and trip is a big question mark. |
12/1 |
|
14th 8 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 194y |
9st 6lb |
Has shown signs he's capable of scoring off this mark with fourth placed finishes at Gowran Park twice (7f, soft) and produced solid effort up to 1m1f first time tackling good-to-firm when beaten 2.5l into fourth at Leopardstown 16 days ago; shaped as if this trip will be well within reach and definite claims. |

Made the breakthrough when landing a Leopardstown 1m handicap in April (good) off 49; ran to a similar level at Cork later in the month when beaten 3l into fourth; disappointing effort over 1m1f at Leopardstown last time when beaten 12.5l, but soft ground a possible excuse; Keane back aboard now. |

9th 5 (22) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |

Sole win came on eighth run when landing a mile handicap at this course in April (good), beating Cleopatra's Needle by 0.75l; ran to a similar level at Cork 48 days ago when beaten 3l into fourth; 7lb rise seemed to anchor him that day but another good run can be expected dropped 1lb. |

Reappeared a fortnight ago to get off the mark over this trip at Leopardstown in first-time cheekpieces, defying a wide draw to win a shade snugly; 7lb rise a bit harsh but no surprise if he handled it. |

2-34 on turf, last turf win in May 2022; been running fine this year without really threatening to win; placed at Gowran Park (1m, good) two starts ago; well held ten days ago; no obvious reason why he'd warrant support off same mark. |
