11st 2lb |
Won three in a row over hurdles in 2023/24 including here; yet to match that form over fences in 10 attempts, decent effort in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares handicap; didn't quite stay under forcing tactics at Punchestown latest behind a strong favourite in same ownership; steadily declining mark and looks nicely treated now. |

120-rated hurdler has quickly established himself as a useful chaser; put in a good round of jumping when an emphatic winner of Clonmel novice handicap (18.5f, yielding) in December; jumping was less proficient at Naas and Gowran; won't get away with errors in this contest. |

Sole win over timber came at this venue and went close over C&D in June; encouraging run at Listowel last month when only beaten half a length but disappointing at Punchestown last week; not ruled out given her propensity to go well at this venue. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |

Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help. |

Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle at Listowel (2m, good) last month but she struggled back in handicap chase last time; now returns to hurdling but she's hard to predict and her last win was in October 2024; others are more convincing. |
