1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 3lb |
Last year's Arkle runner-up is 4-8 over fences; won a Naas Grade 3 on her seasonal return in November; disappointed in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown a month later but back on song when chasing Dinoblue home in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; big player again here. |

2nd 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Arkle here (2m, good to soft) 12 months ago and returned from a break with a game win Grade 3 against males at Naas (2m, soft) in November; unproven at today's trip and well beaten in Grade 1 against males at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December, but was badly hampered at the second fence; has an each-way shout if seeing out the distance. |
7/1 |

1st May 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 5lb |
Progressive mare whose record of 3-4 since switched to chasing features wins in Cork Grade 2 and Exeter Listed event, both against her own sex; belied her 25-1 odds with excellent second in dramatic Arkle most recently, edging ahead and looking the likely winner on the run-in only to be collared by the fast-finishing winner close home; had Majborough behind on that occasion but she might be reliant on the Mullins runner to falter in the jumping department again. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Bumper winner in Ireland; inconsistent results for current stable, taking hurdles record to 0-8; not particularly solid but her reduced mark is attractive judged on peak efforts. |
13/2 |

10th 7 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but kept on for respectable fourth at Bangor (2m, soft) in February, her fourth start for Alastair Ralph, and has dropped another 5lb since; may benefit from this move back up in trip; worth a second look. |
9/2 |
|
4th 9 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won an Irish bumper in early 2025; no closer than 15l in three runs for current yard, the last two handicaps (2m; good to soft/heavy); could still have a say in this weak a race. |

14th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Bumper and novice hurdle winner was found to have mucus in her trachea when poor on chasing debut over C&D; however, she bounced back to win a Wexford beginners' chase since; is penalised for that success but is still a major player. |
6/4 |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Heavy-ground bumper winner whose hurdle runs have been on better ground, notably all-the-way win in 2m2f Cork novice in May; very disappointing chase debut at Tramore later in month, dropping out tamely once headed two out; much better than that and remains of interest but won't get a soft lead here. |
11/4 |

31st May 2025 Good 1m 7f 130y |
11st 7lb |
Provided Rachael Blackmore with her final career winner last time at Cork when impressively winning a novice hurdle by 12l (2m1f, good); that was by far a career-best and if capable of repeating that on her first try over fences she will take some beating here. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
18-race maiden with a Flat background; the odd piece of form is worth noting and she has never been lower in the weights, but she's suffered four non-completions on the bounce (fell midrace on chase debut latest); a bit risky in the new hood (replacing tongue-tie). |
25/1 |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Well in on some of her hurdle form but she's a 17-race maiden with a Flat background, so hard to know what she'll make of fences. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Was gaining second win of last season when scoring over 2m6f at Ballinrobe in April (good) and following month met traffic problems when staying on fourth in similar contest; good chance of staying this longer trip and definitely one to consider with rider now claiming 5lb. |

4th 8 |
26th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 131y |
10st 8lb |
Has won two of her last three starts, off 102 last October at Clonmel (16.5f, good) and over C&D in a mares' handicap last month; hiked up 9lb for that and this harder but can't be discounted for top yard. |

Maiden went close to gaining a breakthrough win at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good) last month; up 2lb but handles softer ground and can go well again. |

Placed in three of her six starts in bumpers (heavy) although ran poorly on latest at Cork; pulled up previously on hurdles debut at same track and seems best watched for now. |

15th 10 |
17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Placed in three of her five starts in bumpers; best effort when third of seven behind the useful Familiar Dreams in a Listed mares' contest at Fairyhouse last March; something amiss when pulled up in a mares' maiden hurdle here five weeks ago; not without a chance if restored to form. |
12/1 |
