31st Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Henry de Bromhead and in-foal mare steadily improving for this yard, winning Tipperary mares beginners chase and most recently second to a clear winner in 2m5f Killarney mares hurdle; looks out of her depth here though. |

10st 7lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Henry de Bromhead and won over fences last time for this yard; has a shout on these terms if back to some of her better hurdle form. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |
11st 7lb |
One of two for yard; bumper and hurdles winner on yielding and soft to heavy; much improved on second chase start when going close in a beginners' at Tramore (15.5f, gd-yld) in late May; this longer trip worth a go on the evidence of that run; chance. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |
10st 2lb |
Has lost way since a purple patch in 2024 which included a win here over 20.5f (gd-yld) off 15lb higher; not a bad run on return from 133 days off latest and on a dangerous mark if she's back on song. |

Wins have been divided between Tramore and Wexford, all on decent ground; long losing run however and continues to struggle off plummeting mark. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Won twice last year and is 7lb below her last success but she is hard to fancy on what she has shown on her last three runs, though she faced an impossible task on latest. |

Six chase wins including this race in 2023; has been regressive this year and was poor at Galway last time; coming back here may help, though. |

Four of her six chase wins have come at this track but she has been mostly well below her best lately and others appeal more. |

9th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 3f 109y |
10st 9lb |
Winning start for this yard in a mares' hurdle at Wexford in October but tailed off twice since, including here latest; questions to answer and probably on a stiff enough mark regradless. |
33/1 |

23rd Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 20y |
10st 11lb |
Won a maiden hurdle on debut in October 2022 at Wexford (20.5f, heavy) and added a mares' hurdle over the same C&D on first start for this yard in October; struggled on latest in a hot handicap at Leopardstown when behind a few of these; others appeal more. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 146y |

Won a 3m event at Perth in July; unseated four out at Wexford, moderate run at the same venue on next start; better at Kilbeggan last time, took third after a mistake at the last; staying type who has won over 3m2f. |

Has failed to build on the second placing obtained on his chasing debur at Clonmel during the summer; hard to fancy against the background of a poor run in a Clonmel handicap won by Winding River. |

Has a nice bit of experience over fences but is 0-6 and she put in one of her lesser efforts when fourth of seven at Sligo latest; in top hands but more needed on her handicap debut in this sphere. |

10th Dec 2024 Yielding 2m 3f 15y |
10st 11lb |
Winner over fences at Pau early last year; took a step forward on second attempt hurdling this season when a staying-on third in 2m Thurles mares Listed novice in December; no match for the talented Brighterdaysahead at Navan (2m5f) on latest but place claims. |
8/1 |
Verdict
Though well below her best in the Mares’ Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham when last seen, BELLE THE LIONESS goes well fresh and can get back to winning ways on return, stepping up in trip. The improving Faux Fur can give her most to do. [Tyrone Molloy]
