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. |

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). |

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. |

Won two bumpers, one of them at this venue; useful 129-rated hurdler; won on chase debut at Galway over an extended 2m6f trip; made a bad mistake three out when remote fourth at Killarney; similar error two out ended her chance of beating the favourite in a mares' event at Listowel. |

Right back to her best when putting in a game effort to finish runner-up to Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham, with the other three rivals in this contest in behind; return to quicker ground is fine but hard to see how she turns the form around with Lossiemouth given how easily she won that contest. |

Dual bumper and hurdle (including here) winner was a winner at Killarney and Tramore last summer over fences while was runner-up in a Galway Grade 3 novice chase in between; has gone well fresh and is respected on return. |

1-3 in chases; won a mares' beginners' chase at Killarney in May (2m5f, good); jumped left on second chase start at Punchestown but better at Galway on latest, beat just 0.5l in a Grade 3 novice by a solid yardstick in Ashdale Bob; gets weight from the boys here but needs to improve again to take a hand in the finish. |

Listed winner over hurdles made the ideal start over fences with a comfortable success over 2m5f at Killarney in May; jumped left and probably didn't stay effectively behind Reverend Hubert at Punchestown; will be more at home over this shorter trip than most and likely to go well. |
