30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 130y |

One of two for the yard; bumper/dual winning hurdler; hasn't been at her best since returning from a year off and one or two others appeal more. |

One of two for trainer; bumper/dual winning hurdler; returned from almost a year off when well beaten on Flat in February; more promise in 10l fifth over hurdles at Navan (2m, soft); didn't build on that at Bellewstown last time. |

11st 9lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in C&D maiden (good) in October; disappointing in handicap at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has had a break since and is not written off back here. |
9/1 |

A fairly useful ex-Irish maiden hurdler for Willie Mullins; yet to match that form for her current yard, including when second in 2m1f Cartmel novice hurdle in June having travelled best for a long way; she holds very good form claims nonetheless. |

Punchestown handicap hurdle win in December (3m, heavy) is her sole success in 30 runs; not the most consistent mare but she stays well and has a definite chance on her best form. |

Punchestown win in December (3m, heavy) is her sole success in 29 runs under rules; put a blot on her record at Gowran in January; much more like it when second at Thurles (2m7f, soft) last month; shortlisted. |

Dual hurdle winner put up a fine run after a break on debut for this yard when runner-up at Clonmel; raised 3lb but might be able to progress enough to defy that; has run well in defeat here before. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 7lb |
Won first five chase starts, including two Listed mares' chases and a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse in April last year; came unstuck upped to 3m in the Irish Gold Cup and no match for Dinoblue or Only By Night at Cheltenham latest; badly in at the weights here and looks up against it on these terms. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Concedes weight all round and pulled up in the Irish Gold Cup last time, though was facing a very tough task against males on that first rules attempt at 3m; unbeaten over fences previously (2m4f-2m6f, various ground) including a Grade 1 win against males at Fairyhouse last April and a Listed stroll at Doncaster in December; races prominently; firmly in calculations. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 100y |

5-5 over fences, the highlight being her Grade 1 win against Firefox and other geldings at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft to heavy) in April; reappeared with a ready Listed win at Clonmel and followed up at Doncaster; first time over 3m since a point win in 2022; not a forlorn hope. |

Verdict
Both of Willie Mullins’ represenatives warrant consideration but Joie Couer Allen has been a little frustrating to follow and it’s hard to gauge whether she will appreciate this longer trip. Spindlebetter is the trainer’s other runner but she needs a jolt of improvement on what she’s shown so far. Preference is for Barry Fitzgerald’s HURRICANE BAILEY who looked promising when third on debut in similar ground and she could be the one to beat if she builds on that. [Phill Anderson]
