Bumper and dual hurdle winner is rated 121 in that sphere though disappointed when last seen in 2025; makes chasing debut for a new yard and is respected but ran poorly on her only run at this track last year. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles; won off 113 at Killarney (2m1f, good) last August; showed signs of returning to form when falling when still going well off this mark back at Killarney latest; stays this far and can go well if that fall hasn't left a mark. |

Easy winner of this 12 months ago off 9lb lower and just the three starts since, one of those behind Brighterdaysahead; returned with a 10l defeat to Bowensonfire at Bellewstown and ran better at Galway, albeit looking a hard ride at times in the new cheekpieces (soon discarded); should feature. |

Back to form when beaten half a length over this C&D on May's return to action but she was tailed off at Sligo subsequently; needs to bounce back and this looks like a difficult assignment for the grade. |

Runner-up after a break at Roscommon in September (3m, soft) and then seventh of 23 at Navan (2m6f); failed to fire back there 20 days ago but in a valuable handicap; this is nothing like so demanding and she'll be keeping on with stamina guaranteed. |

Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; cheekpieces replace blinkers and she's a likely player after a break. |
