Filly often runs well and, while latest was disappointing, has a chance; another who often misses the break; both career wins were last October over sprint trips but stays. |

2-18; experienced filly was narrowly denied in a big field handicap at Leopardstown last time off 66 (7f, good); up 1lb to 67 for that 0.75l third but she won nurseries off 68 and 76 last October; those victories came on yielding-soft and heavy but she handles quicker ground and she should be on the premises. |

Much improved second on handicap debut at Navan last month, stiff task later in month from out of handicap in valuable Naas nursery when reportedly hung right; not out of it back in maiden company but surprising if she played a major role. |

Showed some ability in three maidens over further but bred for sprinting; one to consider on handicap bow, so check the market. |

Promising third in higher grade at Naas (6f, yielding) on seasonal debut but well held on quicker ground at the Curragh; back up in trip for AW bow. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
No success since Cork (7f, heavy) in March 2024; continues to drop in the ratings, and is now 20lb lower than his winning mark; two runs this term not exactly persuasive; a top apprentice booked. |
12/1 |
|
6th 13 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |
8st 13lb |
No success since winning well at Cork (7f, heavy) in March 2024; shaped well at Down Royal last May and 6f was too sharp on first run back at Navan last month; on a dangerous mark if rediscovers best with blinkers back on. |
10/1 |

8th 5 (10) |
30th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 180y |

Won well over 7f on heavy ground at Cork at the start of the 2024 season; has never managed to replicate that form; now 16lb below his winning mark; possible chance if the addition of cheekpieces makes a difference. |

Never a threat in his maidens (5f-7.5f) but consequently goes handicapping off a low mark and cheekpieces could bring something to the party. |

8st 10lb |
Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again. |

Turned things around with a win at Pontefract (5f, good) in October but he's been back in the doldrums in three subsequent runs; has plenty to prove again and needs another bolt from the blue. |

Solid maiden runs at this venue over 5f and 6f on either side of an ambitious Group 3 tilt; narrowly beaten over 5f at Bellewstown on her fourth start; second again over the minimum trip at Navan; can be fancied to uphold form with fifth-placed Answer Me Nay. |
