Showed initial promise in maiden hurdles for Gordon Elliott in 2025; not totally disgraced in the first-time tongue-tie over C&D last month but more needed even in this company. |

Maiden is rated 106 after four chase runs, the best of which was a 22l seventh in strong Fairyhouse beginners' chase in December (2m, soft, RPR 116); poor twice since over fences and hurdles but big claims on that Fairyhouse run in this company. |

0-13 over hurdles but placed six times in maidens; no impact in initial handicap runs but fared better following the application of blinkers in his last two outings; 8l fourth at Limerick (2m7f, good) and 7.5l behind Set The Tone over C&D last time when keeping on well after getting squeezed for room at the third last; not ruled out. |

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. |

Straight into handicap hurdles after a short spell in points; runner-up over this trip in a class 5 at Perth being her best effort; might have had a little too much use made of her at Downpatrick last time; headgear used that day left on here. |

Point-to-point winner; 0-14 over hurdles but loads of placed efforts to her name, including off 92 in a C&D handicap on penultimate; should go well but rated 95 and likely vulnerable to less exposed rivals; new headgear combination tried. |

0-20 at the age of nine, but broke a poor run of form back from a break when runner-up over 3m at Bellewstown in April (yielding); pulled up next time and was beaten 24l on his chasing debut at Downpatrick in a beginners' last time; others make more appeal. |

Won a 3m4f handicap chase at Leopardstown in March of last year (yielding); this season hasn't gone so well but it wasn't too bad a run on his return to fences at Downpatrick last time (3m4f; yielding to soft) and unwise to put a line through him. |
