A 14-race maiden over hurdles; won a Wexford beginners' chase last month but offered little in her subsequent handicaps. |

Regressive maiden over hurdles but showed much improved form to get off the mark on second chase start at Wexford over about 2m4f; tougher task on handicap debut but is open to improvement. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Winner of two of her nine starts over fences since her last hurdles run almost two years ago; recorded her two hurdle wins back-to-back over 2m4f at this venue in April/May 2024; below best over fences since a fair run at last year's Galway festival. |

Won this race last year off 4lb lower mark (soft) in first-time blinkers and good comeback run early this term in Galway Blazers; seen just twice since, well held here in November and 3m looked beyond her at Leopardstown over Christmas; doesn't come here in the same form as last year and cheekpieces now replace blinkers. |

Point-to-point winner on yielding to soft is 0-5 over timber; showed promise in maidens at Limerick and Punchestown at 2m4f-2m7f on testing ground; brother won on good so should handle the ground and shaped as though the run was needed on latest; interesting. |

Tailed off on recent reappearance run and has not shown enough in three handicap starts to suggest she's capable of defying this mark. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Had plenty of racing in Ireland where she was effective on good ground; conditions were heavy when going close at Ffos Las a month ago (3m) and she travelled strongly deep into that race; possibilities off 4lb higher. |

Had plenty of racing in Ireland, winning just the once; made a quiet start for this yard at Chepstow but in a Class 3 handicap over 2m3f and this is easier; should handle the ground and has form over this far. |

Dylan Thomas half-sister to yard's 2m3f hurdle winner Hardwired; dam bumper (inc Listed) and 2m/2m2f hurdle winner; debutante probably all the better for the experience but worth a market check. |
