Both wins in Ireland, a 7f AW handicap and a maiden hurdle on good; up and down in ten runs for this yard but was bang there in the latest at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); hard to rule out. |

Belied 50-1 odds when very respectable fourth over C&D (good) 11 days ago and is 1lb lower now but her record in Britain is very mixed and others in this line-up are more persuasive. |

11th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Placed in two juvenile hurdles for Gordon Elliott in Ireland last summer but both Flat runs for Laura Mongan have been disappointing; beaten 30l (albeit on soft ground) in recent Windsor handicap and looks risky on today's handicap hurdle debut. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Expensive to follow in Ireland, including over hurdles, and is with her third yard already (picked up for £10,000 last autumn); is better off now into a handicap but needs a deal more back from a layoff. |
12/1 |

Ex-Irish filly formerly with Johnny Murtagh and Gordon Elliott; finished third on three occasions for the last-named, including on her final start in a 1m4f Gowran maiden; bought for £10,000; should give a decent account. |

Won the fourth race of her career when running away with a Ballinrobe handicap over just short of 1m2f; disappointing off higher marks since but has a chance down to this grade. |

10st 13lb |
Asserted readily on run-in at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday and is now 2-3 for Nick Scholfield; effectively only 6lb higher under 7lb penalty here and won't mind the forecast rain; respected in current mood. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Won twice for Paddy Butler in the spring of 2024 on soft; made an immediate impact when scoring for the first time since at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) last month on stable debut in returning cheekpieces (retained since); not disgraced when runner-up back there on Saturday and remains in decent form; claims. |

Returned to form with a C&D win on last month's debut for Nick Scholfield, having a few of these in behind and scoring a shade cosily; remains well treated despite a 5lb rise and is the one to beat if backing up that effort. |

Seven-time turf winner won twice in July and ran a decent race on latest off this mark when a 3.75l fifth of 16 at Galway; has won off higher ratings in the past so not dismissed with in-form claimer taking off 5lb. |

Seven-time turf winner on a hat-trick after back to back wins at Navan (1m2f, good) and Killarney (11.5f, good); has gone up 11lb for those wins but she has won off higher marks in the past; however, was unplaced in the 5.40 here on Thursday. |

Ground-versatile sort has hit form lately, winning over 1m2f at Navan and carrying a 7lb penalty at Killarney over just short of this trip; up another 4lb but has run well in defeat at this track and looks a player. |

Enjoying a fine season; back to back 1m5f wins here (good) and at Down Royal (soft) earlier this summer; went up 11lb and only fifth behind a couple of these at Sligo in hat-trick bid on latest; more needed off 1lb lower. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 0lb |
1-13 over fences, the win coming in a beginners' here over 25.5f in July; two respectable runs in handicaps since, 14l fourth in the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good) and 12l second behind A Wave Of The Sea here (3m2f) two weeks ago; this trip may be too sharp. |

Four wins over hurdles; C&D chase winner last month, much too strong for Scalpanagoon; ran well to finish fourth in a higher grade in the Galway Blazers; has improved since finishing behind The Dara Man here in May; Dara McGill's 7lb claim is a help. |

Off the mark over fences in a Kilbeggan beginners' on latest (25.5f, good), pulling clear to score by 9l; raised 6lb for that effort but has placed off this sort of mark before and the drop back in trip shouldn't pose any problems; player. |
