11st 7lb |
Useful bumper performer, sole win coming when making all at Punchestown in December (yielding), well held twice afterwards in winners' contests; back from a break for hurdles debut last month, let down by jumping when respectable fourth in 2m4f Wexford mares' maiden (good); entitled to improve for that run. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Useful bumper performer, sole win coming at Punchestown (2m2f, y) in December, making all to beat Luciole Des Bordes by 1.75l; beaten 8l into sixth in Grade 2 Leopardstown contest in February; bit below form on last start; sets a decent standard if she translates her form to hurdles. |

Off the mark at fourth attempt when allowed to dictate at Punchestown in December (yielding); out of depth in Grade 2 mares' event at DRF since; more exposed than several of these. |

Decent mare on the Flat at up to 2m; 0-7 hurdling however, placed in maidens last winter but recent comeback run at Galway was a long way below her best; this looks a weaker maiden, though, so definite claims. |

11st 5lb |
Two Flat wins include 1m4f maiden at this meeting in 2024 (also second in 2m handicap here last year); 0-6 hurdling however, has had a break since midfield in 2m3f Leopardstown mares handicap in early March; has to be respected from a yard doing no wrong but has to improve on what we've seen so far. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |

Dual Flat winner; beaten 10l in third behind the smart Ballyfad here at the Christmas meeting after a 106-day break; beaten favourite at Clonmel in January; same when ridden by Sean Bowen here at the DRF on handicap debut; needs to reverse form with Whimsy, Maxios Prime, Onefortheditch and Tequila Talkin'. |

Modest Flat winner is 0-5 hurdling although creditable effort on latest when decent fourth of 20 in 2m1f Galway handicap last month (good); place claims back in maiden company. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 3lb |
Winner on the Flat and very lightly raced over hurdles by comparison; good run in a 1m handicap at Leopardstown in April, but little in her profile marks her out as a potential winner of this. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Trainer's four-timer last weekend makes this 1m1f winner of interest; narrowly beaten over 1m3f here in September, too, and some decent runs hurdling during the winter; nice run over 1m at Leopardstown but unplaced at Navan since; tongue-tie left off; doubt she wants it too fast. |

10st 13lb |
Lightly-raced mare with little to recommend until much improved in 2m Kilbeggan mares' maiden last month, staying from some way back to finish third (good) - sixth has won since; slightly longer trip to suit and remains capable of better; respected. |

Beat just one rival in two bumpers; fell in a point-to-point in May after a long absence; never threatened on hurdling debut at Punchestown last month. |
