1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 3lb |
High-class mare has won eleven of her 20 starts over fences, including this race last year; as good as ever this season and won the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham on latest (Only By Night runner-up, Spindleberry fourth); top-rated here and best treated by race conditions; the one to beat. |

1st 2 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up in this race in 2024 (soft) and went one better last year (good to soft); made mistakes when beaten on return to action at Navan in November and has since posted easy wins at Fairyhouse (Grade 3) and Naas (Listed) when heavily odds-on each time; she's the one to beat. |

High-class mare is 9-18 chasing, including this race last year and Grade 2 Liberthine Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; beaten favourite on seasonal return in Fortria at Navan in November but back on track in landing long odds with ease in 3-runner Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, her first attempt at 2m6f; versatile mare, back in trip and remains very much the one to beat. |

Record of 12113 switched to fences last term, including Irish Listed win (2m6f, soft); seemed to run very well, improving nearly a stone, in Grade 2 at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on final outing; big player provided she backs up that form and stays this trip (second 3m attempt). |

Fifth in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft; Riviere D'Etel 5l back in sixth) and subsequently runner-up at Fairyhouse (2m5f, heavy); this trip should suit and she's an obvious contender. |

All wins on heavy and soft ground, the latest in a Grade 2 over 2m4f at Thurles in January; lesser effort behind Marsh Wren (who was receiving 10lb) there since, though, and she would be getting weight from a few of these rivals in a handicap. |

Has made excellent progress for Kerry Lee and Nigel Twiston-Davies over the last year, winning four times (twice here); predictably found Grade 2 mares' chase too hot at last month's Cheltenham Festival but has her sights lowered today and could still have further improvement to come. |

Made the running for all four chase wins, at about 3m1f on ground ranging from good to soft; no match for Carole's Pass at Exeter recently and her most recent runs at about this trip, which are very infrequent anyway, give her lots to find. |

Multiple wins in Listed mares' chases, the latest at Newbury (2m7f, soft) in December; she's well treated on that form now back in a handicap but has been a long way below her best the last twice; needs to bounce back. |
