15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 0lb |
Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard, but there were definite signs of life pn stable debut when fourth of 12 over fences at Tramore, making a bad mistake at the fifth; that is something to build on back over timber now. |

Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott is 0-7 over fences; in poor form when last seen in June 2025 and is now with a new yard; best watched for now. |

Back over hurdles now after an unrewarding spell over fences; hard to make a case for him; trainer appears to have a better chance with Howdoyalikeherhome. |

Flat and dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in February and was a solid second in a Tramore novice last time; has a chance but questions about his attitude after refusing to race at Cork last time. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |

Dual chase winner; ran well in handicaps during Galway Festival week and another respectable effort in the Kerry National, without suggesting he'll provide the answer to this. |

Ballinrobe debut maiden winner in April and has run respectably since without showing major progression, latest Downpatrick novice fourth to a stablemate possibly his best effort; opposable on second handicap attempt (1lb wrong). |

15th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Was the 1-8 favourite when winning a mares' maiden hurdle at Cork (2m1f, good to yielding) last year; behind Killinure Lass on return from a break at Galway in a handicap hurdle last time but should improve for the run; now makes chase debut for top yard and always dangerous to discount horses from this stable, but she does have plenty to prove. |

Bumper winner won a Cork maiden hurdle nearly a year ago; then disappointed at Bellewstown before a better effort in a Downpatrick novice; an absence to defy but can't be ignored from this source |

Bumper winner here last summer returned from a break to take second in a Cork maiden in July before winning similar mares' contest last month; dropped out alarmingly quickly since in Bellewstown mares' hurdle on quicker ground; upped in trip and rain could arrive in time. |

Bumper winner and runner-up three times over hurdles and also second in a Tramore mares' beginners' chase last August; has blotted her record twice by refusing to start; risky. |

6th Oct 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 55y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner here and runner-up in a couple of maiden hurdles; below best in 2m6f novice here last month, having previously finished second in Tramore beginners chase; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn the last twice and big chance on that Tramore form. |

Bumper winner here and C&D maiden second in July probably her best effort so far over hurdles; runner-up recently over fences; refused to race here on penultimate start but otherwise solid. |
