Four-time winner; last victory came on penultimate start at the Curragh off 80 (1m, good); no impact off revised rating back there on latest start (2.25l behind Narmar); remains 3lb above his last winning mark and others have more pressing claims. |

In great form earlier this season notching up back-to-back handicap wins at Cork off 75 and Gowran Park off 82; not disgraced in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) on her penultimate start but well-beaten in a Listed heat at Gowran Park on latest; probably up against it in this company. |

Added her fourth handicap win over 10.5f here in October off 63 (yielding); decent fourth in a higher grade next time at Leopardstown (1m4f, heavy) but disappointed at the Curragh on her final start of 2025; out of her depth on return at Cork; this more realistic but others preferred. |

Won on good and the AW when trained in Britain; added a third career success a month ago at Dundalk where she went off pretty quick in the new blinkers and just held on (80-1); whether this will pan out so favourably is questionable. |

Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford. |
