9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Has form on most types of ground; took her Cheltenham Festival record to 0-3 with a defeat in the latest Champion Hurdle but that was a respectable effort without managing to confirm placings with Lossiemouth, who had played second fiddle in the Irish equivalent; record of 2-3 at about 2m4f includes an easy success in the Mersey at this meeting two years ago; very smart mare who holds leading claims at the weights. |

2nd 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Has form on most types of ground; hasn't lived up to expectations at this meeting for the last two years, beaten by Golden Ace in the Grade 2 novice hurdle in 2024 and only fourth (weakening when hampered) in this contest in 2025; otherwise a very smart mare and produced one of her best performances in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown (2m, heavy) most recently, reversing December placings with Lossiemouth and registering a fourth Grade 1 success; leading contender, provided she transfers the form to this venue. |

Beat State Man in last season's Morgiana and gave a stunning performance to win the December Hurdle here by a huge margin; nowhere near that level when a remote fourth in an incident-packed Champion Hurdle; failed to regain her best when raised in trip at Punchestown, well held in third behind two of Lossiemouth's stablemates; outpointed by Lossiemouth here at Christnas but finished close enough to suggest she can provide a powerful challenge. |

10st 13lb |
Modest form in points but looked promising when runner-up (beaten 13l) in a mares' bumper at Gowran in February; lesser effort at that venue since and might need this after 132-day break. |

Stepped up considerably on pointing form when 13l second at this venue three weeks ago, finishing 8l clear of a mare who had previously finished second at Cork; further progress is feasible. |

Seems to handle any ground; 4-4 since joining new yard and switched to hurdles, beating two rivals at Exeter (2m) most recently; improving mare who commands major respect in this similar event. |

Cost 50,000euros as a 3yo and she's well related; however, was soon outpaced when beaten a distance at Gowran (10-1). |

Flemensfirth mare cost 50,000Euros as a 3yo, is sister to smart bumper/hurdle/chase winner Good Boy Bobby (RPR 157) and half-sister to 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Enniskerry (including Grade 3); dam a sister to high-class bumper/2m-3m hurdler Voler La Vadette; nicely-bred newcomer, like stablemate Forge Lawn, worth watching for market confidence. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |

Has been running well on the Flat; fair hurdles record but 13lb out of the handicap here; tough task in the circumstances, though rider's 5lb allowance will help. |

2nd 3 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 13lb |
Locally-owned mare took a long time to come to hand but thrived under both codes last year, recording four wins including this race and a handicap hurdle here in October; promising run at Navan lately and headgear worn for latest Flat win is back on; crack apprentice on board too, so loads to like. |
100/30 |

3rd 4 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

Won four races last year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat, including her last start in this sphere at Galway in October; late-season form also included a Bellewstown second, splitting two of these rivals Idomything and Bhean Sainbhre; needs to reverse the form of seasonal debut at Navan with Bhean Saibhre |

Snow Sky half-sister to 2m3f hurdle winner Maple Lawn; dam tailed off in a bumper, sister to 2m4f-2m7f hurdle/chase winner Bacher Boy, half-sister to bumper/useful 2m5f-3m3f hurdle/chase winner Garruth; newcomer from a respected source, market support would be interesting. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle was her only win from 14 races for Willie Mullins; placed on five of nine attempts over fences, mostly running well last season but she flopped when favourite for a 3m4f handicap on final start, with first-fence mistake playing a part; fetched 25,000gns in April and has similar form to most of these, plus more chasing experience. |

Promising run when runner-up in a mares' bumper at Punchestown a year ago but pulled up in a bumper next time and not much promise in recent return; best watched for now. |

23rd Nov 2023 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |

Half-sister to the useful Landofhopeandglory; ran in two bumpers last winter; promising Punchestown debut, drawing well clear of the remainder when a staying-on second to a well-backed winner; reportedly failed to handle testing ground when pulled up at Gowran in race won by the stable with the well-regarded Betterdaysahead. |

Half-sister to five winners notably Landofhopeandglory (Group-placed 1m 2yo; RPR 103/smart 2m-2m4f jumps); dam German 1m 2yo winner; promising Punchestown debut last month, drawing well clear of remainder when staying-on second to a well-backed winner, looking green; all the better for that experience and could take some beating now. |
