25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-11 over hurdles; solid Flat run at Navan (1m6f, heavy) after 156-day absence in March but has failed to fire in two handicap hurdles since; remains 9lb above last winning mark; may need respite from the handicapper. |

31st Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 159y |
10st 7lb |
11-race Flat maiden, placed in three of her last four turf handicap starts, showing an ability to handle testing conditions; kept ticking over with a Dundalk run this month. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (9) |
13th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 12lb |
Maiden was placed in three of her last four handicaps (10.5f/1m4f) on soft turf or worse; makes AW debut and Group-winning half-sister went close only start here. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (14) |
30th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 180y |
9st 9lb |
Maiden has shown fair form of late on soft ground, staying-on third over 1m2f at Sligo and over today's trip at Listowel kept on well into second behind an easy winner after not clearest of runs; unplaced favourite at Bellewstown last time. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two handicap hurdle wins for Daisy Hitchins last year (1m7f/2m3f, good to soft) included one off 8lb higher, and an inconsistent profile since the autumn does at least include a Tapeta Flat success and a serviceable chase debut; some positives ahead of stable debut. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Out of form in December when last seen over hurdles but looked back in good nick when winning on AW in February and is 5lb lower than when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in March 2025; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Steps back up in grade but looks shortlist material, having registered a C&D win under Millie Wonnacott most recently, taking well to Southwell at the first attempt and taking AW record to 2-7. |

Sole win in 24 starts came over 1m at Cork in 2022; well beaten in three starts for her new yard but she has been dropped 5lb for her most recent run and the step up in trip will at least help. |

Modest Flat performer but encouraging signs in two runs in maiden hurdles, hitting the frame with a 9l third at Roscommon in August before finishing a close second at Killarney earlier this month; shaped like she would relish a step back up in trip and ought to go well. |
