1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 30y |
11st 3lb |
Quality mare at this level; finished third in this race last year before being just denied by Elimay in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; rounded off her season by routing that rival in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; a long way below that level on return at Clonmel behind Dolcita but should strip fitter today. |

17th Nov 2022 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 96y |

Last year's second took her form to a new level when running away from Elimay (Dolcita a remote third) in 2m5f Grade 2 mares' contest at Punchestown festival, jumping well in the main; the one to beat on that piece of form. |

28th Apr 2023 Yielding 2m 5f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Career best when fourth in the Irish National last time; fair to assume the improvement came from the step up in trip that day so she's probably vulnerable back at 2m5f. |
11/1 |
|
4th 11 |
10th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 5f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Best form on soft; three chase wins at about 2m5f in 2022 and that's probably more her trip; has to rate as a doubtful stayer over this far. |
40/1 |

17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Best form on soft; three chase wins at about 2m5f in 2022 but at a lesser level and she was again no real match for Jeremys Flame, who has improved since, at Thurles last February; looks to be flying too high in this company. |

27th Apr 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 130y |
11st 0lb |
Decent mare has been running mostly over fences in the last two seasons; did run well over hurdles behind French Dynamite at Thurles last October and has a squeak. |
20/1 |
|
8th 3 |
5th Feb 2023 Yielding 2m 5f 44y |
11st 6lb |
Strong galloping and sound jumping mare at her best; has come up short so far this season but was only beaten five lengths in the Paddy Power here and her run at Fairyhouse a few days later might have some too soon; could have each-way potential in a very open contest. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 30y |
11st 3lb |
Useful mare won a Grade 2 chase at Thurles a year ago; was second to Dolcita in Listed company at Clonmel giving her 11lb, while she also ran a cracker in the Paddy Power Chase five days ago at Leopardstown; go well again if this doesn't come too soon. |

8th Feb 2023 Soft 2m 7f 124y |
10st 13lb |
Smart mare in her prime, rarely at her best since a Grade 3 course win in January 2021; obtained a career-high mark of 146 after that success, down to 135; needs to jump a lot better than when a remote last of four finishers in this year's edition of that Grade 3 event. |
4/1 |

4th 4 |
1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 30y |

Smart mare has won twice over fences, including this race in 2021, her last victory; hit and miss over the last year but is capable of smart form on her day, so can't be dismissed. |
9/2 |

Modest locally-trained mare has been off since January and will need mishaps from the others to have any chance. |

30th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 70y |
10st 13lb |
Well over 3 years since her sole win (3m, heavy) and has struggled over fences of late; hard to fancy on balance of recent form. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |
10st 6lb |
Last of five career wins came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap chase nearly four years ago; rapidly declining mark of late but glimpses of form, albeit plenty to find with Pride Of Place on latest Tipperary effort. |

Came back from an absence this year and best run at Ballinrobe last time, beaten 9l; has to build on that but could do so. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 3m 4f 61y |
10st 11lb |
Four-time winner; completely tailed off at Down Royal in January but better judged on her previous second in a veterans' chase at Limerick; each-way chance. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 |
23rd Jan 2024 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Most recent of her four wins was over hurdles in April 2022; the stable is enjoying a fine season and positives can be taken from her second in a five-runner veterans' contest at Limerick. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
29th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 6f 120y |
10st 12lb |
Never really involved at Roscommon albeit she stuck to her guns really well to bag a modest fourth; jumping left a bit to be desired on that occasion and if she has ironed out those frailties, she should hold her own here. |
5/2 |
