Went out on her shield after making a bold bid in a Roscommon handicap chase (21.5f, good) latest; is 2lb below her last winning hurdles mark and could be dangerous if she's given too much rope in front. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
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. |
16/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
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. |
14/1 |

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. |

Gained a deserved second chase win off 4lb lower at Sligo early last month (3m2f, gd-yld), his second win at that track; previously ran well on soft at Ballinrobe (2m7f); in fine fettle and should be in the mix again. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
0-16 over hurdles and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern, but she shaped with significant promise when fifth on last month's stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) and probably sat too far off the pace when failing to build on that performance at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) three weeks later; tries a new trip here; worth a second look. |

Chase winner is rated 4lb lower in this sphere; best handicap hurdle effort yet on latest at Sligo (2m4f, good) when never-nearer fourth of 16 (Love Like This second); the step up in trip on a more galloping track should suit. |

Sole win from 28 hurdling attempts in 2m Cork handicap nearly three years ago; pick of recent form when second there over 2m4f (good) in October, heavy ground probably didn't suit here on latest; on a fair mark and better ground to suit so don't rule out. |
