3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 7lb |
Second runner for James Nash; dual-purpose mare has won twice over hurdles; maiden in this sphere but her fourth to You Make Me Smile in last year's renewal was one of her best Flat runs and she has a nice pull at the weights; place chance. |

Both wins have been at around 3m including Listowel handicap in September; well held on softer ground of late so would appreciate some drying; trip possibly on the short side and Walsh prefers Miss Pronounciation. |

Flat winner; 2-26 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase in April last year; yet to shine for this stable; not badly handicapped on his old form, needs a revival. |

Two-time Flat winner is 2-25 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase last April; has been out of form since joining Cian Collins; well-handicapped on old form but he's hard to fancy on recent showings. |

Winning pointer and narrowly beaten in a Wexford maiden hurdle; hooded and shaped like needing the run in a 2m3f Naas handicap hurdle two weeks ago; should be spot on for this. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 |
12th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 24y |
11st 3lb |
Fairly consistent in maiden hurdles in the spring and summer of last year, including when touched off in a 2m4f mares contest at Wexford in May; not seen since a below par effort at Kilbeggan in June; hooded here and probably best watched but worth a market check. |
12/1 |

4th 14 |
4th Jun 2023 Good 2m 2f 59y |
11st 5lb |
Point winner at Dromahane in December 2021; has shown a fair standard for form since joining this stable last winter; recent second in 2m4f maiden at Wexford provides plenty of encouragement, since the winner was a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot who had been running in Grade 1 races. |

Winless from 14 but went close on several occasions in 2023; beaten 34l in both starts since returning from 800-day absence; good ground and addition of blinkers need to transform him. |
