Dual hurdle winner who showed she may be just as good over fences when third here last month on chase debut; 3lb wrong though and against stronger opposition here. |

Won a pair of handicap hurdles last autumn; no trace of that form since returning this year from an eight-month break; hard to fancy on her chasing debut on current evidence. |

10st 7lb |
3-26 over hurdles; runner up the last twice, off 5lb lower at Leopardstown and then off 3lb lower at Cork when 1.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme; weighted to turn that around but may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Running consistently well over fences/hurdles this season; three seconds from four starts before a Limerick win; held her own when given a shot at a big prize at the DRF; runner-up at that venue on latest; in the mix again. |

11st 7lb |
Responsible for both of his new trainer's wins, the latest at this track (2m, good) 15 days ago; didn't appear to see his race out when tried over today's distance at Wincanton in April but he is clearly in good order. |
5/2 |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth-time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looked fortunate because the leader made a bad mistake at the last but he's only 2lb higher here and he had an excuse when stepped back up 2m4f last time; dangerous back in trip. |
4/1 |

0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) last month; the leader made a bad mistake at the last but this 8yo wasn't far away at the time and he remains feasibly treated after a 2lb rise; respected back up in trip. |

Won a Punchestown handicap hurdle for Paul Nolan in 2024 off 90; 0-9 chasing for that yard but made the frame on several occasions; much improved display compared to stable debut when keeping on for third of 14 at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last time. |
