Very useful hurdler, two wins and a third in the 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences before winning readily at Killarney in May; well beaten in fourth Grade 3 novice chase at Galway; had an excuse at Killarney, restored to form at Listowel; mares' allowance gives her a fighting chance against King Of Kingsfield. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |

Sole win over timber came at this venue and went close over C&D in June; encouraging run at Listowel last month when only beaten half a length but disappointing at Punchestown last week; not ruled out given her propensity to go well at this venue. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |

Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help. |

Confirmed the promise of finishing runner-up at Limerick on seasonal return when winning at Listowel in September and may have found the ground too testing in two subsequent runs; trainer's runners often improve over the larger obstacles and she has each-way claims; yard's second-string. |

1-14 over hurdles but disappointed at Ballinrobe in that sphere last time out; previously ran a nice race at Bellewstown over 2m4f on good ground; not a bad run on chase debut at Downpatrick in June where 2m7f trip probably stretched him; cheekpieces on for handicap chase debut; probably best watched today unless the money comes. |
