10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
12st 0lb |
Weak Tramore maiden hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good); some reasonable efforts following that, particularly a nose second behind the decent Meetingofthewaters at Cork later that year (2m4f, yielding to soft); generally poor form since then but some of his best recent runs have been here, 6l fourth of 13 over C&D last time (behind Georgia Celena); others preferred. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Patchy form last August-October and this is her first run since; however, she may be better around this time of the year than she is in the autumn and she won after a similar absence last June; not ruled out. |

A dual 2m scorer at Market Rasen in June but she was well below par when sixth of ten in 2m2f Kelso handicap three weeks ago; she needs to get back on track. |

Bumper winner failed to get his head in front over hurdles (0-8, rated 117); lacks chasing experience and probably best watched on his first start over fences after a 248 day absence. |

Didn't cut much ice in her first two maiden hurdle outings but ran with gret credit at Tramore last time when beaten roughly 4l behind Benz; opening mark seems fair and is likely to be more at home in this company; chance. |
