Better chaser than hurdler, rated 20lb lower in this sphere and just 1-18; might need this run with a view to going back over fences. |

Tramore beginners' chase winner in December has been kept to hurdles since, running well on a couple of occasions, 3m looking too far last time; scope for improvement in first handicap chase with trip/ground to suit and capable claimer booked. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |
11st 8lb |
Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford. |

Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore over 2m before a good third of 12 at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding); her last win in this discipline came last year off 105 at Navan (2m, heavy). |

27th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to form with small-field win in first-time visor at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and will be fine over today's longer trip but was struggling to keep up with Juniper before falling quite heavily at three out at Taunton (2m5f, soft) on latest outing. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 150y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 at Carlisle (2m5f; both on soft) when winning the same race for the second time this month (first-time visor replaced blinkers, as today); acts on sharp right-handed tracks as well and, despite going back up 4lb, her first Carlisle win came off this mark; looks good for a big run. |

Hasn't threatened this season but he faced a tough Listed assignment last time and is now 4lb lower than when winning this last year (soft); not ruled out with a first-time visor replacing blinkers. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |

Won 2m5f Thurles mares' beginners' chase in 2022 for Henry de Bromhead; only six runs since then, including fourth behind Kiltealy Park in this race last year, absent since pulled up behind several of these here in November; hard to fancy on return, especially given she's 6lb wrong here. |

Beaten a head in this race last year off 129 on preferred soft ground; pulled up final two outings last term and didn't count (blood in nostrils) on last month's comeback run over hurdles; entitled to come on for that but legitimate questions to answer at this stage and ideally wants softer ground. |

Is 1-9 in chases; that win came in a mares' chase at Clonmel in March 2022; has run well here a couple of times in the past and she should strip fitter after a spin over hurdles at Navan; capable of making her presence felt off her current mark. |

Last two wins came back-to-back in the early months of 2022; failed to complete her final two starts before a break, fell in a chase at Punchestown, pulled up when well fancied for a handicap hurdle at Wexford; showed that she could run well fresh when second at Punchestown 13 months ago. |

Three-time chase winner is 2-24 over timber, including a win here on heavy over 2m4f; rated 22lb higher over fences but has been out of sorts since winning a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in June; first time cheekpieces and tongue tie combination needs to spark a revival. |

Bumper/hurdle winner who has returned this season from a long absence; 0-5 over fences (2m2f-3m) and didn't offer much over the longer trip on her switch to handicaps at Fairyhouse; perhaps a tongue-tie will help matters. |

Off for three years after winning a Thurles maiden hurdle in November 2019; no show in three beginners' chases but much more encouraging third to Soloman Lane in 2m4f Punchestown handicap last month, mistake at the last proving costly; again let down by jumping when faller two out at Fairyhouse when holding every chance; on a competitive mark but jumping a concern. |
