5th May 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 100y |
9st 5lb |
Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; solid efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) and Leopardstown (1m2f, yld-sft) on first two runs for this stable; up against it on the figures here but if there's heavy rain she could sneak into the money. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Likes soft ground and won off 9lb lower on her final start for John O'Donoghue at Navan (1m2f, soft) last April; holds a leading chance now after a good effort on seasonal/stable debut over 1m at the Curragh; met trouble in running, and her performance can be upgraded. |

Likes soft ground and won off 9lb lower on her final start for John O'Donoghue when last seen at Navan (1m2f, soft) last April; absence since a concern, as is this shorter trip; best watched on debut for new connections. |

Showed improved form in testing ground last autumn, winning 1m4f handicaps at Galway and this track; faster ground today on return and has a bit to find on ratings too. |

Third in a Cork maiden suggested that he was on the upgrade but well beaten in a Naas conditions race last time; tongue-tie tried here back up to seven and one of the more interesting runners. |

5th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 205y |

Finished last at Naas over 1m on debut on heavy ground; ran a better race over 7f at Down Royal on better ground in May; this might be too sharp for her. |

Fair form in three maiden runs, cheekpieces not seeming to have any effect last time at the Curragh; blinkers now tried for drop to claiming company and could improve enough to feature. |

9st 6lb |
Went close for Henry de Bromhead and was only beaten 2l in a fillies' maiden at Killarney last month when coming on from her yard debut; some speed in her pedigree but a drop right back to the minimum could be too sharp; engaged at Sligo, Wednesday. |
5/1 |

Came from well back to collect over 1m at Bellewstown (good to yielding); 7lb higher now but a wide draw made life difficult at Dundalk last time. |

Runner-up at Leopardstown in the spring and returned from a break to score at first attempt for new yard, coming from well back over this trip at Bellewstown last month; 7lb rise but could have more to offer and wide draw may not be such a negative under hold-up tactics. |

26th Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 195y |

Career-best when second over 1m1f at Leopardstown in April in first-time blinkers; well below that form in similar contest latest and now debuts for new yard. |
8/1 |
Verdict
A good showing by Mataariki in the 5.50 would enhance confidence in QUATRAIN (nap) who can build on her promising C&D debut in any case. Clever And Cute and Glen Princess and Abbey Actress have shown enough to suggest place possibilities. [Alan Sweetman]
