11st 3lb |
Fair placed form in points last season, though not progressive; hinted at winning potential with a staying-on sixth behind today's rival Sallap at Limerick early last month; came good in emphatic style when running out an 8l winner from Smackwater Jack (second reserve) at Ballinrobe two weeks ago; raised 11lb, may remain competitive. |

Third reserve; won twice in 2024, including over C&D (soft); seemed to be heading back to form when third at Listowel in June; dropped away tamely when one of the main fancies in a C&D handicap last month. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |

Dual hurdles winner in 2024, the second of them coming over this C&D (soft); has improved with each of her three runs this year and was a 6.5l third of ten at Listowel last time (3m, good to yielding); didn't travel with much verve that day but her mark is falling. |

Won two 3m hurdles in 2024; some fine runs in defeat last year, but was poor on chase debut making her return at Limerick; some improvement back over hurdles at Bellewstown last time, but improvement required. |

Had plenty to spare when scoring a breakthrough win over an extended 2m6f at Limerick; a wind operation seems to have done the trick, and she was able to defy a 9lb rise when scoring readily at Kilbeggan; has gone up by the same amount again, fair prospects of completing a hat-trick. |

Maiden's best efforts have come on good ground, including over this trip at Down Royal in April when third of 19 (3m, good) in this headgear; below that level but not disgraced in sixth at Wexford next time (3m, good to yielding); place claims. |

Showed a good attitude to gain third success over hurdles when holding off Morell River by a neck at Punchestown (23.5f, gd) eight days ago; not an obvious type to follow up but he was 13lb out of the handicap that day so is effectively just 2lb higher here; chance of following up. |
