Course winner has been in good form lately, winning a Killarney handicap over this trip and finishing third at Listowel over 2m4f; however, she has a bit to find with some of these but not ruled out. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Returned from a break with a 28-1 win at Killarney (22.5f, good) and raised 5lb for that; won over C&D at this meeting two years ago off 92; will need a career best off this mark but that's not impossible. |

Is 3-16 over hurdles, all of the wins coming on soft; her last win came in a 2m4f Limerick Christmas mares' hurdle off 116; tailed off at Naas following that and again disappointing at Limerick when last seen in April; she has won after a break in the past but the ground is a worry. |

Front-runner won Tramore novice on New Year's Day and followed up later in month under similar tactic in 2m Naas handicap (both 2m, soft); jumping let him down at Thurles following month over a bit further but don't rule out him bouncing back and this easy 2m to suit. |

Both wins on heavy, latterly a 2m chase at Leicester in February; creditable third at Plumpton next time but didn't jump well when remote fourth over 2m5f here (good to soft) four weeks ago; on the back of that the cheekpieces he's worn on his last five outings are replaced by a first-time visor. |

The ground was heavy for his hurdle win in Ireland (2m3f) and when scoring by 8l at Leicester two runs ago (2m), opening his chase account after wind surgery; ran okay off this 7lb higher mark at Plumpton (soft) latest but drying conditions might not be favourable. |

Won at Killarney last July off 12lb lower; respectable run in Cork National (3m4f, gd-yld) off 106 (3lb wrong) last November; pulled up back there three weeks later; out of depth in Killarney National on return from break latest; these are calmer waters and could rebound. |
