Steadily progressive mare before pulling up behind Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham; goes on any ground and will be in the mix for minor honours. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 3lb |
Third in this event last year after taking the same place in Aintree Grade 1; has failed to match that form this season and has slumped 9lb in the ratings in 12 months; tailed off in Leopardstown Grade 1 won by Teahupoo; moderate fifth behind Wodhooh; a lot to prove now but could surprise. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Smart mare who was an 11l fourth to Lossiemouth in this 12 months ago before finishing third in 3m Grade 1s at Aintree and Punchestown later in the spring; hasn't quite hit the same heights this season, including 9l third to Feet Of A Dancer and Dream On Baby in Doncaster Grade 2 latest; vulnerable even if back to her very best in a change of headgear (first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces). |

3rd 1 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Smart staying mare who won this race 12 months ago (good to soft) in game style and made the frame in three Grade 1s at the spring festivals afterwards; ran poorly against the geldings at Leopardstown four weeks ago but would have a big chance if returning to her best. |

9th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 100y |

Point' winner won a Naas bumper before hammering Eabha Grace in a maiden hurdle there; similar runs in defeat behind Ashroe Diamond and Magical Zoe at Cheltenham last time; looks likely to run well. |
6/1 |

3rd 9 |
16th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fetched 260,000gns after hacking up in an Irish point; only scraped home in a bumper but comfortably beat her 24 rivals in a maiden hurdle at Naas before finishing close up behind Jetara at Fairyhouse (2m2f, soft); moved as well as the front two for much of that latter race, returning to a left-handed track can help and she brings each-way hopes. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |

Dual hurdles winner has shown poor form in five runs over fences, including on handicap chase debut at Down Royal last time when beaten by 29l; others bring more pressing claims. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Two wins over hurdles, rated 132; nowhere near her best over fences; beaten a long way in three starts in beginners' races and out of her depth in a Grade 2 event at Limerick last time; 12lb below her hurdles rating, but does not appear well handicapped. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 50y |
11st 11lb |
Dual bumper and hurdle (including here) winner was a winner at Killarney and Tramore last summer over fences while was runner-up in a Galway Grade 3 novice chase in between; has gone well fresh and is respected on return. |
9/4 |

1st 4 |
16th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 12lb |
1-3 in chases; won a mares' beginners' chase at Killarney in May (2m5f, good); jumped left on second chase start at Punchestown but better at Galway on latest, beat just 0.5l in a Grade 3 novice by a solid yardstick in Ashdale Bob; gets weight from the boys here but needs to improve again to take a hand in the finish. |

2nd 7 |
1st Aug 2024 Good 2m 2f 54y |
10st 8lb |
Listed winner over hurdles made the ideal start over fences with a comfortable success over 2m5f at Killarney in May; jumped left and probably didn't stay effectively behind Reverend Hubert at Punchestown; will be more at home over this shorter trip than most and likely to go well. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Better than ever since sent back to the Flat after three runs over fences during the winter; justified favouritism in a 1m6f Listed race at Gowran Park, 2m Listed event at Down Royal and 1m6f Group 3 at Fairyhouse on last three outings, all on good ground; more to prove on soft (despite winning a maiden hurdle) but she needs major respect. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Has looked better than ever since sent back to the Flat after three runs over fences during the winter; backed up a Listed third over 1m4f at Cork when readily justifying favouritism in a Listed race over this trip at Gowran; stepped up to 2m successfully at Down Royal and now boasts a fine 5-9 record on the Flat. |
7/2 |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Dual-purpose mare; entitled to win a 1m6f Listed race at Gowran 23 days ago (good), which she did by some 6l; likeable 6yo but she's in a lot deeper here. |
