28th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Losing run since July 2023 but has been giving the impression his turn may be near again in two starts for his new yard; yet to try further than 1m2f on the Flat but has shaped like it would suit at times and one to consider. |

Won this event two years ago; fair form towards the end of last season; out of sorts this term until showing signs of a revival when fourth at Navan on stable draw; drawn high but Nicola Burns may be able to counter any disadvantage |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
9st 10lb |
Had looked fairly exposed but found more improvement last term and has carried that on with two excellent runs at the Curragh this spring, latest when third behind two progressive sorts over 1m2f; ground not being as soft as she'd like is one concern, as is a poor strike-rate for one of her ability. |

Rewarded for her consistency with a Gowran win in October (1m4f, heavy) before signing off with close-up fourth at Galway; took the Irish Lincoln by the scruff of the neck on return when trying to make all, giving way late to finish fifth; step up in trip will suit. |

Winless since rattling off a treble in 2023; however, her two recent runs over 1m suggest she is close to striking again, with a close second at Leopardstown and 1.5l sixth at Galway last time; probably doesn't want it too soft; new headgear on. |

Verdict
Colin Keane’s last two rides for Paul Flynn have resulted in a win and a second, which heightens interest in PALLASMORE LASS (nap). Although a maiden, she has suffered some near misses at this trip and her stable won this 12 months ago with one returning from a break. Everylittlestep was perhaps stretched by the 1m2f on heavy ground at Navan and she’s a winner waiting to happen. Asisaid and Barnhill Rose also command attention after being in the thick of it last week at Leopardstown.[Alistair Jones]
