115-rated hurdler so ideally treated by race conditions and getting the hang of chasing; best effort so far when third in useful contest at Ballinrobe and that form has been franked. |

The last of her five hurdle wins came in 2019 but has been regressive in the last 18 months; however, has run solid races on both chase starts lately over 2m4f and a repeat of those efforts will put her firmly in the mix. |

11st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; record of 1-31 over hurdles; couple of promising placed efforts after joining this yard last year but modest form so far in 2026 on the Flat and over hurdles; beaten 23l off 2lb higher at Clonmel latest; others preferred. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |

No win since 2021; has occasionally run well in defeat; improved from a run on the Flat at Navan in March when going well for this jockey (on her first ride over jumps) at Wexford last month; beaten 8l in fourth, so needs to raise his game another notch. |

No win since 2021 and while he has occasionally run well in defeat, his comeback run on the Flat at Navan last month was poor; should strip fitter but hard to fancy. |

Sole win over hurdles came in 2022; some fine runs in defeat over fences since including a close third in this race in 2023; has been missing since February 2024 but has been given a chance by the handicapper; market strength could indicate his readiness. |

Made rather shaky start to chasing career this season but jumped well before winning Wexford handicap (2m3f, yielding) quite comfortably last month; not discredited on heavy ground at Roscommon since but will need to improve again to land this prize. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdle winner on soft (2m6f) two years ago; seen just three times since however, including subject of running and riding enquiry at Ballinrobe last year and most recently never nearer fifth of 14 in 2m6f Roscommon beginners last month; potential improver on handicap debut (now upped in trip) but high enough mark on evidence to-date. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 150y |

Winning hurdler rated 109 in that sphere; minor promise in both chase starts including when catching the attention of the stewards at Ballinrobe when last seen in May 2024 (2m1f, yielding, found to be lame post-race); tongue-tie is added to hood and steps back up in trip; check market. |

Point winner; fair fourth on handicap chase debut at Listowel in September; not at his best when an unplaced favourite over 2m7f at Killarney in October; took full advantage of return to beginners' company when winning easily at Tramore; should remain competitive despite 6lb rise. |
