22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Unexposed 7yo who created a very good impression when winning easily on chasing debut for Willie Mullins at Navan (2m4f, heavy) in December 2023; struggled to get competitive in valuable Windsor conditions chase (2m6f) when reappearing for new stable last month and is tricky to weigh up at present but will find this race easier and may be aided by the new tongue-tie. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |

Won his first three starts (including a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins); then absent until Windsor last month, when pulled up on his stable debut in a hot conditions chase; this very lightly raced 7yo may have needed the run and now wears a tongue-tie, but others have far less to prove. |

Stayed on for second at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) in December on fourth chase start and got off the mark in this sphere at Punchestown (extended 2m6f, soft) in January; this is tougher but she travelled well and found plenty last time, and this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. |

Beaten favourite in four of her five maiden hurdle attempts, including 6l second at Killarney last time; has been placed in small-field Grade 3 races and gets a fair bit of weight from the winners with Ben Harvey's valuable claim in play; no easy task all the same. |
