30th Mar 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 120y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins over hurdles but 0-6 chasing on soft ground, reportedly struck into at Gowran last time; some encouragement at same track previously; longer trip and better ground could see improvement; 1lb wrong. |

15th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Two-time hurdles winner is 0-4 over the bigger obstacles; reverts to chasing after two poor efforts over timber; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown when last seen in May 2024 in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); rated 6lb lower over fences but he's hard to fancy. |

Some good chase form in 2023-24 season and he won two points early last year; he's in the picture on his best form but has failed to shine on his two point starts this winter. |

11st 7lb |
Bumper win here came on heavy, now 0-14 hurdling, pick of recent form when second on similar ground in Gowran mares maiden in March, didn't get beyond the first at Tramore last time (Nirisque second); ground could be plenty quick for her. |

Clonmel bumper win came on heavy, now 0-13 hurdling, pick of recent form when second on similar ground in Gowran mares maiden last month; didn't seem to stay 2m3f on latest so return to 2m to suit; claims. |

Sole win in 15 starts came at this track in a bumper on debut in March 2022 on heavy; in the frame in maiden company a couple of times since; good second at Gowran Park lto; up in trip; this a stronger contest however so needs more. |

Modest maiden over hurdles, placed off 89 over 2m5f last summer; point winner in January and ran okay on recent handicap chase debut over 2m3f at Wexford; this trip might be too sharp. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Mainly in fair form this season and can be forgiven a below-par run on testing ground at Exeter last time; these conditions suit; each-way chance with cheekpieces back on. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat towards the end of 2025; 10l second of four at Carlisle 17 days ago on chase debut, showing she has some way to go before she's matching today's rivals over fences. |
5/1 |

Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat against fellow mares towards the end of 2025; receives 7lb from the males today and holds leading claims if taking to fences at the first attempt. |
