21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
10st 11lb |
The most experienced mare in the field and rated 123 over fences; has often been highly tried to no avail, including when tailed off in Punchestown mares' Grade 2 latest; sights are lowered now and seems to handle most ground; chance. |
7/2 |

1-12 over fences and rated 125; hasn't won since scoring in a mares' chase at Wexford in July 2024; difficult to see her losing run ending in this company. |

Was a decent second in a Thurles handicap in February but was well beaten at Leopardstown since and has loads to find against the top two in this race; due to run in the 2.40 at Fairyhouse Saturday. |

Encouraging debut when third of 14 at Fairyhouse last month and her pedigree suggests she should appreciate going up in trip; big player if she improves again. |

E12,000 3yo; 4th foal; sister to useful 2m4f/2m5f hurdle winner Atlantic Fairy; dam placed point/unplaced bumpers and hurdles, half-sister to bumper/2m3f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Keepitsecret and bumper/2m4f hurdle/2m6f chase winner Be My Leader; interesting connections have persevered with this 8yo; worth a market check. |

Three-time hurdles winner at around 3m but not as good a chaser to-date, best effort latest when second in 2m6f Galway handicap last month off a lowly mark of 86; looks out of her depth here. |

11st 13lb |
Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations. |

Suffered early mishap on penultimate outing but placed on other three starts this season, most recently when clear second to dual subsequent winner at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last month; might not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here but still commands respect. |

Trained by Willie Mullins; normally consistent and may rebound with Fairyhouse reappearance (well beaten) under her belt; recorded notable novice wins over hurdles (Listed) and fences (Grade 2) in 2023; however, has something to find with compatriot Brides Hill on the figures. |

Has really got her act together over fences in recent starts, going close at Naas before a beginners' success at Punchestown and hit the crossbar having been given too much to do back at that venue latest; clearly thriving and cheekpieces may eke out more. |

Has won a point, maiden hurdle and beginners' chase but lost her form over fences for Gordon Elliott last autumn; no better on debut for this yard but could do better returned to hurdles today. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Consistent hurdler was a chase debut winner for Gordon Elliott at Tramore last summer (2m, yielding) but well held in novices and handicaps afterwards; debuts for new yard here. |
15/2 |
Verdict
The frustrating Hauturiere made an encouraging reappearance at Limerick behind Shecouldbeanything and should go well again. Preference is for DESERT HEATHER, who took a big step forward at Limerick. She has been in good heart, winning three points, and travelled notably well behind Go Boy on her return to the track Purse Price has been holding her form well for Gordon Elliott but she might need more of a test of stamina to show her best.
