14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
11st 8lb |
Has recorded her only two wins over hurdles at this venue, both over longer distances than this; stuck to her task over 2m4f here last October; failed to exploit a much lower chase mark here the following month and absent since. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
11st 3lb |
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 |
10st 13lb |
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. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 9lb |
Better than ever last year, winning over hurdles twice, including here (2m6f, yielding); 0-12 chasing but stayed on for third over C&D in May after racing wide; and would have got closer at Wexford last time but for repeated jumping errors; place chance if jumps better. |

Better than ever last summer, winning over hurdles at Tramore and Sligo; 0-11 chasing though, staying on third at Tramore on May return, having raced wide; not one to totally rule out but hard to see him playing a major role. |

Dual-purpose veteran; four-time Flat winner (once over C&D in 2018); hasn't been pulling up any trees over hurdles in recent times; made little impression over C&D four weeks ago; others preferred; cheekpieces. |

Dual-purpose; 3-24 over hurdles, the last win coming off 3lb higher at Cork in November 2024; hasn't looked like taking advantage of sliding mark recently and fell on latest at Punchestown; needs a revival. |

Flat-bred, but one half-brother has won three chases; trail has gone cold since the summer's pair of Worcester 2m4f handicap hurdle frame finishes (good), and moderate results last time cheekpieces were tried. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Seemingly boosted by change of headgear when making the frame in consecutive 2m4f handicaps at Worcester this summer but his run there last time was disappointing and it's now over two years since his only win; drops back in trip today; others have more pressing claims. |
