Punchestown handicap hurdle win in December (3m, heavy) is her sole success in 30 runs; not the most consistent mare but she stays well and has a definite chance on her best form. |

Punchestown win in December (3m, heavy) is her sole success in 29 runs under rules; put a blot on her record at Gowran in January; much more like it when second at Thurles (2m7f, soft) last month; shortlisted. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Highly progressive for new yard this season and has won handicaps on her last four hurdle starts (2m7f-3m1f, good-soft), most recently in comfortable fashion at Ludlow last month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but it remains to be seen where her limitations now lie. |
9/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
3-7 for new stable since last summer, with one win gained over C&D (good) and the latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this race is more competitive but she might still be on the upgrade. |
9/2 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on yielding ground in Ireland but her two hurdle wins (2m7f and 3m) in October were both on good ground and good to soft is probably as slow as she wants it; fell on her return to fences before Christmas and needs to justify a career-high mark, 7lb higher than her latest win. |

Off the mark at the 15th attempt at Punchestown last month (2m4f, soft), making all and scoring by 0.5l; the runner-up, third and fifth have all won since; 8lb higher but should still make another bold bid. |

Verdict
Recent Down Royal runners-up Tankardstown Diva and Rebel Cowgirl both have mileage in their handicap marks and are unexposed. However, it is hard to ignore the claims of BONNIE KELLIE, who has progressed this season to a chase mark of 121. She will be hard to beat if translating that. [Justin O’Hanlon]
