Ended last season on a high with 1m4f Listed win at Naas in a race in which stablemate Starford flopped; maintained progression at Naas on return; beat all bar a restored-to-form Starford in a Group 3 over C&D; has developed into a dependable mare; best suited by easy ground; faces stiffest task yet. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 4lb |
Promise in all three maiden runs at 1m2f-1m5f; the latter trip on soft ground probably stretched her on latest at Down Royal; form of previous second at Roscommon (1m4f, good) looks solid in the context of this race; rated 74 and big chance if taking to this surface (half-sister won on AW). |

3rd 10 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 4lb |
Stayed on well over 1m2f at the Curragh on sole start last year for Jessica Harrington; still looked raw when second to the Harrington-trained Marazion at Roscommon last month on her first start for Joseph O'Brien; should improve enough to play a leading role. |

9st 0lb |
Best on very testing ground and was well held in the QR handicap here on Monday when 8.5l behind Teed Up; big swing in the weights with that rival but would make more appeal if the ground was heavy; cheekpieces go on. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 179y |

Dual-purpose mare; only Flat win came in Leopardstown 3yo maiden (1m2f); good form this term in very competitive handicaps, second at Navan, close fourth of 15 in 2m2f Chester Cup, seventh of 20 behind a stablemate in 2m4f Ascot Stakes; most recent run was in a Group race; one of five for the stable. |

Naas maiden (10.5f, yielding) winner for Dermot Weld last season; well held on sole previous try at Listed level and with an official rating of 82, this looks too ambitious on her seasonal return and stable debut. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 77y |

Won a Naas maiden on return; found Listed company too tough and had plenty to do at Gowran last time; should stay this new trip and she's an intriguing runner; unexposed. |

Won back-to-back handicaps at the Curragh and here last autumn when the ground was slow; can cope with good as she showed when second of 21 at Navan 55 days ago; with course form in the book she's respected. |

Loves it when the mud is flying, just as it was when she won off 9lb lower at Gowran in October (1m4f, heavy); has run respectably on all four starts on her favoured ground this term and has gone well here before but this ground will surely be too lively for her. |

Both career wins came over 10.5f and 1m5f at Down Royal last season; running well in defeat this season but handicapper very slow to relent; needs to find a bit more off current mark. |
9/1 |

3rd 8 (8) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 100y |

2-13 on the Flat, both wins coming at Down Royal over 10.5f (good) and 1m5f (yielding) last season; consistent this season, never worse than fifth in five outings; looked unlucky in running when fifth of 18 at Galway, capable of getting in the mix. |

0-11 but has run some excellent races in defeat in stakes company; beaten 7.75l in 1m6f (good) Fairyhouse Group 3 on latest; rated 96 and a surprise if she didn't win this. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |

Maiden has been highly tried at times to no avail but did pick up some black type when third behind Floresta in Leopardstown Listed last term; not a bad effort when fourth in Gowran Listed in May but this is a stronger race. |

Acquitted herself well in stakes company this season, finishing a 0.5l second to subsequent Group 3 winner Moody in Listed contests over C&D (soft) and at Gowran Park (1m6f, good/yielding); respectable run when sixth in strong renewal of Orby Stakes 83 days ago; ew claims back against own sex; firm ground a possible negative. |

6th 10 (8) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Very useful filly has returned this term with 0.5l defeats by Moody at Listed level at both Cork (1m4f) and Gowran (1m6f), each time forcing it; this a much deeper race than those however so will do well to sneak a place. |

9st 2lb |
Often highly tried and unplaced all seven starts since winning a Galway maiden in September 2024; seemed to stay 1m6f in Gowran Listed race last time but still finished only seventh; flying even higher today. |

No win since landing a Galway maiden in 2024; well beaten on first two starts for this yard in Curragh handicaps at 1m and 1m2f on testing ground; hood worn for those runs discarded and upped in trip; hard to fancy. |

Showed promise on the second of two starts at two and began the season with a satisfactory display at the Curragh; had no trouble landing the odds in a Limerick maiden; holds an entry in the Irish Oaks and can be rated a strong contender for a yard in top form. |
4/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 190y |
9st 3lb |
Improved plenty over Cork debut last September (1m, yielding) when taking the third spot at Gowran; good return to action at the Curragh when a 2.75l second (1m2f, soft to heavy) and 18l clear of third; tongue tie goes on and she's a big player with the best form on offer. |

Showed promise when 7l second to an experienced Ballydoyle-trained filly over 1m at Leopardstown on sole start at two; stayed this trip well when a winning favourite on soft-to-heavy at the Curragh on reappearance. |

Lived up to her name on debut at Galway last October (1m1f, soft to heavy) when powering 3.75l clear late on to beat a better-fancied stablemate in third; blinkers worn that day are left on but this will be very different to the conditions she excelled in at Galway. |

Has shown improved form lately when winning twice at this track over extended 1m2f, a maiden on good ground and a 3yo handicap on soft; raised 13lb for latter success, but still has to be taken seriously; should stay this trip. |
