23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdle winner on soft (2m6f) two years ago; seen just three times since however, including subject of running and riding enquiry at Ballinrobe last year and most recently never nearer fifth of 14 in 2m6f Roscommon beginners last month; potential improver on handicap debut (now upped in trip) but high enough mark on evidence to-date. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Winning hurdler rated 109 in that sphere; minor promise in both chase starts including when catching the attention of the stewards at Ballinrobe when last seen in May 2024 (2m1f, yielding, found to be lame post-race); tongue-tie is added to hood and steps back up in trip; check market. |

9yo who is a longstanding maiden but she may well have got off the mark at Leicester (2m4f, soft) last time but for a bad mistake at the final fence; has also run well over staying trips; last time was just her second run for this yard and could make amends today off the same mark. |
