13th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Her initial wins over fences included a Grade 2 for mares (2m, soft/heavy) but limitations exposed since, despite raising her game, and this is her first crack at a Grade 1 of any kind; very much up against it. |

10th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Maiden hurdler, rated 109; now established as a good chaser; made all for an emphatic win at Gowran; no apparent fluke about her 33-1 win from Harmonya Maker in a mares' Grade 2 Cork event over an extended 2m; another fine effort when third to Spillane's Tower at Punchestown; not quite as good a week later at Thurles, run may have come too soon. |

15th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
All wins on heavy and soft ground, the latest in a Grade 2 over 2m4f at Thurles in January; lesser effort behind Marsh Wren (who was receiving 10lb) there since, though, and she would be getting weight from a few of these rivals in a handicap. |

prominent, went second from 4th, mistake 5th, challenging on outer after 2 out, no extra when lost second and jumped slightly right last, weakened run-in |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Three-time winning hurdler, including a Grade 1, is 1-8 over the bigger obstacles; rated 140 so well clear on the figures but has failed to complete two of her last three starts and jumped poorly the last twice; talented but a risky proposition. |
9/4 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 2lb |
Flopped at Roscommon last time and earlier pulled up in Punchestown race won by Sea Music; those two races have dented her chasing profile; blinkered for the first time. |

3rd 4 |
9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 150y |
10st 13lb |
Mare is rated 140 after six chase starts; won a mares' beginners' at Fairyhouse in February (2m5f, sft-hvy); good third in listed handicap chase at that venue on penultimate (2m5f, soft); pulled up at Punchestown latest; looks the main threat to Pied Piper and gets plenty of weight from him but may need softer ground. |

6th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Trained by Willie Mullins; normally consistent and may rebound with Fairyhouse reappearance (well beaten) under her belt; recorded notable novice wins over hurdles (Listed) and fences (Grade 2) in 2023; however, has something to find with compatriot Brides Hill on the figures. |

Dual winner over hurdles and successful start chasing when making all in ordinary Tramore mares event in June; hasn't progressed however in three starts since in better company and looks to have it to do here. |
