12st 3lb |
Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle (good) over extended 2m6f last August; pulled up and beaten 20l in two handicap starts since then; may have needed latest, however, and may do better now; interesting jockey booking. |

0-5 over hurdles but did show some promise in two of his maidens; pulled up on handicap bow at Ballinrobe (2m, good) on latest, however, and needs to leave that behind upped in trip. |

11st 7lb |
Beaten 20l when second of 8 on handicap debut after a 255 day absence at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy); should strip fitter now and step up in trip looks a plus on breeding; not without a chance. |

Hasn't been seen since finishing 20l behind Bossing It in Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last summer; market will reveal expectations on return/handicap debut for shrewd connections. |

11st 7lb |
All three hurdle wins have come at this venue, the last one in 2025; pulled up over C&D in May; was in the process of running a good race when falling in the lead two from home at Clonmel last month; 10yo mare could go well if suffering no ill effects. |

All three hurdle wins have come at Ballinrobe, the last one in 2025; however, was pulled-up there 10 days ago and hard to fancy on that run. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y |

Much better, compared to her return, at Bellewstown last time when a 12.5l fifth of 15; others more likely. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Promise in two of her six runs last season, including when fifth in this contest on good off 7lb higher; too keen and soft ground legitimate excuses for below-par effort on yard/seasonal debut at Limerick; worth monitoring. |

0-18 (14 over hurdles) but went closer than ever at Limerick over 2m6f (soft) last time when beaten just 1l in second under today's rider; up 2lb but she's of definite interest. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 150y |

Lightly-raced for her age; point winner in January ran well enough over hurdles at Naas since; chasing should suit better so considered. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |

Lightly-raced 9yo; placed in a couple of handicap hurdles in 2024 at 2m6f-3m1f off marks of 84/85; showed her health back from a 374-day break when winning a Tinahely point-to-point in January; big player. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
10st 3lb |
Winless from 13 starts over hurdles but some good runs in defeat; bounced back from a poor Clonmel run at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding) when running on well to take third in the final strides; thereabouts off the same mark. |
6/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |
10st 6lb |
0-17 but largely consistent in six starts in 2024 and 2025; was only beaten 1.5l into fourth off 4lb higher at Galway (3m, yld) in October; fell four out on return at Punchestown and weakened tamely at Clonmel last time; on a nice mark but needs more |

Took a step forward over hurdles when third at Clonmel in March (2m3f, soft); well below that level over fences at Tramore next time; has failed to complete his last two races; stable in form, good 5lb claimer. |

Verdict
If Cornaroya Rocco stays, he’ll be thereabouts but that’s not guaranteed so the vote goes to MOONSHINE GIRL who has shaped like her turn was near on her last two starts. Pilgrims Walk looks a big danger. Queen Kulina, Ranger Billy, La Tene and the multiple course winner It’s Time Again complete the shortlist. [Dave Stephens]
