30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 3lb |
Third in this event last year after taking the same place in Aintree Grade 1; has failed to match that form this season and has slumped 9lb in the ratings in 12 months; tailed off in Leopardstown Grade 1 won by Teahupoo; moderate fifth behind Wodhooh; a lot to prove now but could surprise. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Smart mare who was an 11l fourth to Lossiemouth in this 12 months ago before finishing third in 3m Grade 1s at Aintree and Punchestown later in the spring; hasn't quite hit the same heights this season, including 9l third to Feet Of A Dancer and Dream On Baby in Doncaster Grade 2 latest; vulnerable even if back to her very best in a change of headgear (first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces). |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Smart staying mare who won this race 12 months ago (good to soft) in game style and made the frame in three Grade 1s at the spring festivals afterwards; ran poorly against the geldings at Leopardstown four weeks ago but would have a big chance if returning to her best. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Useful mare, though not as effective as she promised to be early in her career; -1-9 over fences, placed four times, including third in the Mayo National; moderate run at Sligo last time, but has to be taken seriously. |

12th Dec 2023 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 56y |
10st 11lb |
Generally reliable and very experienced novice who has recorded two wins and seven places from 12 starts over hurdles; 19l handicap winner over 2m here in October, earning promotion to 127; continued her progression with a clear second behind the unbeaten Brighterdaysahead in a Grade 3 event at Down Royal, and now rated 132. |

Generally reliable and relatively experienced novice who has recorded two wins and six places from 11 starts over hurdles; 19l handicap winner at Punchestown on latest; up in class now and may find a few too good. |

15th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well over 2m4f here in October but this is a stiffer assignment and she has shown no further progress, well-held third to notable stablemate at Navan (Listed) most recently; sole win over hurdles came in an ordinary race last summer; others preferred. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Signed off for Willie Mullins with a claiming hurdle win at Sligo (2m2f, good) last month and has good claims here if judged on that performance but he suffered a heavy defeat over fences for new stable 12 days ago and has become hard to predict. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 5lb |
In new yard after winning a Sligo claiming hurdle for Willie Mullins last time, albeit she was very well treated by the weights that day; has chase experience but needs to do more. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 193y |
10st 6lb |
With a top yard but yet to add to her 2023 maiden hurdle win in seven starts since, the last three over fences; best treated by race conditions if she runs to her rating of 116 but hard to be massively confident she will. |

Listowel maiden winner who was second next time; not been up to Listed level the last twice but should have a future over fences. |
