125-rated hurdler was in good form 2024/25 season, winning twice and running well in 3m Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; well below that level in light campaign last season however and now tries fences. |

Better than ever for current yard, gaining two Listed wins on right-handed tracks (good to soft); jumped that way at times when held at left-handed Doncaster in hat-trick attempt; clear on ratings and the return to a clockwise course is ideal. |

All her improvement for Willie Mullins came over longer trips and she very nearly won last season's Killarney National over 3m2f; however, after two respectable Flat runs for this yard, she returned to jumps with a near miss over a similar trip to today's in Chepstow's always-competitive Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle; clearly retains significant ability. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |

Attracted heavy market support at Cork last time (2m3f, good) but could only manage fifth; punters likely attracted by now 19lb lower hurdles mark, but dual chase winner is yet to match that form in this sphere; may want softer ground than this. |

Much improved sent chasing last season, winning twice (including here); sent off favourite over hurdles at Thurles and fences at Leopardstown when below best; again couldn't take advantage of significantly lower hurdles mark here last time (2m1f, yielding) when tailed off; attractive mark but clearly risky. |

Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |
