8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |
9st 7lb |
No win since scoring off 2lb higher at Naas (1m, yielding) over two years ago; promising seasonal comeback second at Navan in March (1m2f) but 1m4f looked beyond her at Limerick last month; back to probably her optimum trip. |
12/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 190y |
9st 7lb |
No win since scoring off 2lb higher at Naas in April 2024 (1m, yielding); back on song with a 2.5l second at Navan (1m2f, heavy) on seasonal return (Church Mountain 3l behind); worth another go at this trip on that evidence; chance. |

Caused a 33-1 shock with 1m Naas handicap win on the first of two starts in 2024; failed to match that form in four starts last year; now 3lb below her winning mark; ability to run well when fresh is an asset. |

Two wins on the Flat but 0-15 over hurdles; didn't run badly in this sphere at Navan in November but pulled up the next day at Fairyhouse and fell at Tramore on return from break latest; others more persuasive. |

Two-time Flat winner at Gowran; 0-11 hurdling, standout run when second in 2m1f Wexford handicap (good) over the summer in first-time cheekpieces, most recently didn't count in midfield at Roscommon last month; more needed but don't rule out. |

2-34 on turf, last turf win in May 2022; been running fine this year without really threatening to win; placed at Gowran Park (1m, good) two starts ago; well held ten days ago; no obvious reason why he'd warrant support off same mark. |
