Three-time hurdle winner in 2023; some good runs in the meantime - including over fences - and perhaps needed last month's comeback run at Punchestown (it looked that way). |

Her three hurdle wins includes a Listed hurdle at this meeting last year; hasn't matched that form in five starts over fences yet but is capable of better and returning to this track may help. |

Bumper winner; 128-rated hurdler, three wins including 2m1f Listed mares' event at Killarney last May; highly tried in chases so far; will find this assignment easier than when behind Jade De Grugy in 2m5f course Grade 2 in January; shortlisted. |

Point-to-point and hurdle winner; fell at Naas and reportedly never travelled when pulling up at Wexford in her two chase starts; cheekpieces now reached for after a heavy defeat over hurdles at Roscommon earlier this week; hard to fancy on recent form. |

Sole success came in a maiden hurdle in 2023; has run well in handicaps off higher marks than this; stayed on late for fifth over 2m6f (good) at Ballinrobe last time out in first-time cheekpieces (retained); dropped 2lb and could go well stepped back up to 3m. |

Sole win came in a Thurles maiden hurdle (2m5f, soft) in 2023; has gone close in handicaps but hasn't looked a winner in waiting recently; mark sliding but needs to revive. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles also ran well in 2m7f handicaps at Punchestown off 100 mark early last year (soft); lightly raced and well below best this past winter but entitled to come on from recent Cork comeback run and is down to a dangerous-looking mark. |

Three-time hurdles winner (also chase winner); 0-22 on Flat; fair placed form last season, though beaten 11l when third in this race 12 months ago; needs to step up on this term's outings at Gowran and Limerick. |

Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |

11st 5lb |
Ex-Irish mare who has been a bit up and down for Dan Skelton but did run well at Leicecster last time (2m4f, good to soft) given one notable mistake that she made; won't mind returning to further and off this mark she's entitled to have a major say. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
First three runs this season were solid, notably a win at Exeter (3m, good) in November followed by a close second over 2m4f at Cheltenham; disappointed at Hereford a week later, though, and pulled up on return from a two-month break 16 days ago, so now has something to prove; however, a bounce-back would not surprise. |
5/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Exeter (3m, good) in November on second stable start before close second of 15 to Party Vibes at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December; her run at Hereford seven days later may have come too soon (3m1f, soft; ground shouldn't have been an issue); remains of interest for top yard. |

Has recorded her only two wins over hurdles at this venue, both over longer distances than this; stuck to her task over 2m4f here last October; failed to exploit a much lower chase mark here the following month and absent since. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |

Sole win over timber came at this venue and went close over C&D in June; encouraging run at Listowel last month when only beaten half a length but disappointing at Punchestown last week; not ruled out given her propensity to go well at this venue. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |
10st 13lb |
Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help. |
