Hasn't won a race since November 2023 although she is a three time winner hurdles; runs from 10lb lower mark than last win over hurdles for handicap chase debut but she has looked badly out of form for awhile. |

11st 9lb |
Three-time winner over timber but no success since September 2023; beaten 7.75l off 2lb higher over C&D on her last start in this sphere in July 2024; below best last three starts in mares' chases; needs to revive on return to hurdling. |

11st 2lb |
Debut bumper winner last season is 0-7 hurdling but comes into the race on the back of two good runs in handicaps at this trip on soft; bit keen on latest so fitting of a hood could help and seems sure to be thereabouts. |

Bumper winner; 0-6 over hurdles but latest 3l third at Thurles (2m4f, soft) is up there with her best form and must have every chance with a repeat of that. |

Useful staying handicap hurdler at a modest level; twice out of the money since winning over 2m7f at this venue in October; no appeal in this grade on only her second run over fences; unseated rider at the third at Killarney last August. |

2nd Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 106y |

11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |
13/2 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Recorded a third hurdles win off a career low mark at Thurles in October (2m4f, good to yielding), beating Tir Og by a neck; decent enough sixth on Flat at Gowran back from a break last month, considering she stumbled at the start; she will have easier opportunities than this. |

Hurdle winner but has been well beaten over hurdles/fences of late and isn't easy to fancy until showing more spark; first-time blinkers might help. |

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. |

25th Apr 2024 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Confirmed the promise of finishing runner-up at Limerick on seasonal return when winning at Listowel in September and may have found the ground too testing in two subsequent runs; trainer's runners often improve over the larger obstacles and she has each-way claims; yard's second-string. |

Point winner; placed in two outings early last season; no ill-effects after a year off when landing a 2m mares' maiden hurdle at this venue in June; faded quite tamely after making the running to two out on her handicap debut at Tipperary in July. |

Made light of a year's absence when landing a mares maiden hurdle at Listowel last month; looks fairly handicapped but still unexposed and could well be more to come from her. |
