29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark chasing on tenth attempt in 2m5f Clonmel mares' beginners last month (soft) but ultimately no match for a 10l winner nine days later in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares' handicap: front-runner should run her race but vulnerable. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 10lb |
Off the mark chasing on tenth attempt in 2m5f Clonmel mares' beginners last month (soft): highly-tried on occasions, notably when second to Only By Night at Exeter last year and to Spindleberry at Clonmel in November; back in handicap company and can go well. |

Campaigned in Graded company over last 18 months; produced some strong efforts, most notably when second to Only By Night at Exeter last year and to Spindleberry at Clonmel in November; two below-par efforts over fences since but appreciated step back up in trip with good run over hurdles last time at Punchestown; course winner over hurdles has the form to win this. |

Back to form with 1.75l front-running second over C&D on penultimate off this mark; never travelled and didn't jump well when poor at Wexford last time; cheekpieces replace blinkers; could rebound back at this venue. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Flat winner was successful over hurdles at Limerick in December 2024 off 7lb higher; moderate recent form until a change of tactics almost saw him make all at Tramore (2m1f, good to yielding) when headed late home in this headgear combination; could go one better if adopting the same tactics. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |

Just 1-18 over hurdles; has been poor on heavy ground lately but this drier surface can help him put in a better showing; blinkers added. |

Improved with each run over hurdles recently and seemed to appreciate the step up to this sort of trip at Ballinrobe last time; needs more again on chase debut but not ruled out given she's on an upward curve. |

Sole win from 37 starts (15 over hurdles) came over C&D in December 2024 from 4lb lower; ran well in a Listowel handicap hurdle on stable debut but lesser efforts last two times, including at this venue last time when tenth (1m4f). |

AW winner, useful Dundalk form for Chris Timmons last winter; has strong claims in this grade following a fine second on seasonal/yard debut at Listowel. |

Second runner for yard; starting to get the hang of things in handicaps the last twice; only beaten 12L when sixth at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good) and followed that with a remote third at the same track; placed here in a bumper and drop to this trip may suit; interesting. |

Verdict
This could boil down to a match between the two last-time-out winners. KILBARRY SAINT is a progressive young mare and may have the measure of recent Leopardstown maiden scorer Zeeband. Liberated Light may prove best of the remainder. [Alan Sweetman]
