30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 3lb |
Third in this event last year after taking the same place in Aintree Grade 1; has failed to match that form this season and has slumped 9lb in the ratings in 12 months; tailed off in Leopardstown Grade 1 won by Teahupoo; moderate fifth behind Wodhooh; a lot to prove now but could surprise. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Smart mare who was an 11l fourth to Lossiemouth in this 12 months ago before finishing third in 3m Grade 1s at Aintree and Punchestown later in the spring; hasn't quite hit the same heights this season, including 9l third to Feet Of A Dancer and Dream On Baby in Doncaster Grade 2 latest; vulnerable even if back to her very best in a change of headgear (first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces). |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Smart staying mare who won this race 12 months ago (good to soft) in game style and made the frame in three Grade 1s at the spring festivals afterwards; ran poorly against the geldings at Leopardstown four weeks ago but would have a big chance if returning to her best. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |
10st 13lb |
Displayed credentials for a race of this nature when a 12l third of 15 in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe last year off 132; ordinary form on last three starts last autumn and off the track since but now 3lb lower than she was at Ballinrobe and she needs checking in the market on return for top yard. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Useful mare, though not as effective as she promised to be early in her career; -1-9 over fences, placed four times, including third in the Mayo National; moderate run at Sligo last time, but has to be taken seriously. |

12th Dec 2023 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 56y |
10st 11lb |
Generally reliable and very experienced novice who has recorded two wins and seven places from 12 starts over hurdles; 19l handicap winner over 2m here in October, earning promotion to 127; continued her progression with a clear second behind the unbeaten Brighterdaysahead in a Grade 3 event at Down Royal, and now rated 132. |

Generally reliable and relatively experienced novice who has recorded two wins and six places from 11 starts over hurdles; 19l handicap winner at Punchestown on latest; up in class now and may find a few too good. |

15th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well over 2m4f here in October but this is a stiffer assignment and she has shown no further progress, well-held third to notable stablemate at Navan (Listed) most recently; sole win over hurdles came in an ordinary race last summer; others preferred. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Signed off for Willie Mullins with a claiming hurdle win at Sligo (2m2f, good) last month and has good claims here if judged on that performance but he suffered a heavy defeat over fences for new stable 12 days ago and has become hard to predict. |
5/2 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 5lb |
In new yard after winning a Sligo claiming hurdle for Willie Mullins last time, albeit she was very well treated by the weights that day; has chase experience but needs to do more. |
6/4 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 193y |
10st 6lb |
With a top yard but yet to add to her 2023 maiden hurdle win in seven starts since, the last three over fences; best treated by race conditions if she runs to her rating of 116 but hard to be massively confident she will. |

Listowel maiden winner who was second next time; not been up to Listed level the last twice but should have a future over fences. |
