8th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 158y |
12st 0lb |
Promise in three maiden hurdles last season; disappointed first two handicaps this season despite market support; however, she bolted up off 110 in Fairyhouse apprentice handicap hurdle (2m, soft) two weeks ago; much higher mark to contend with here but she's a big player. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |

Maiden went close to landing breakthrough win at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) in December but hasn't backed that up, most recently never counting when modest enough fourth at Fairyhouse; remains opposable. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |

Maiden went close to landing breakthrough win at Leopardstown (24.5f, yielding) in December off 3lb lower; unseated over 2m in a beginners' here, then finished a modest fourth over 3m6f at Cheltenham; 6lb lower here but needs to find extra to shed the maiden tag. |

Maiden; 0-8 in chases; runner-up in the Dublin National over 3m4f at Leopardstown last March and over 3m at the same track in December, both on yielding ground; 2m in cheekpieces did not work out last time; right back up in trip today but needs a big career best. |

Maiden has been dropping down the handicap this year; best run came when beaten just over 7l at Fairyhouse last time over 2m; down 2lb and needs to find more up in trip. |

French soft ground winner won over 2m at Clonmel last year off 76 and later added AW win; restricted campaign this year, never counting at Galway last time over 1m4f and has twice missed engagements since due to yielding ground; remains a bit high in the handicap. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 155y |

0-7 over fences but has run ok in defeat; shaped nicely when third in a C&D beginners' on penultimate and that form has since been boosted by the fourth Born Bright; go well back in handicap company with the cheekpieces worn last time left off. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |

Two-time winning hurdler rated 110 in that discipline; 0-6 over fences and rated 7lb lower; not a bad run in a beginners' at Roscommon last month and cheekpieces could eke out more; go well for last year's winning yard. |

10st 2lb |
Gained a first win on turf over this C&D 18 days ago with a career best, rallying well under pressure and a 4lb rise looks workable; much better draw this time and has to be high on the shortlist. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 110y |

Belatedly opened her account on the AW (1m2f) in March off 52; pick of three turf runs since when close second at Leopardstown last month (1m1f, good), didn't count in similar event last time; bad draw but still respected. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Belatedly opened her account on the AW in March off 52; bounced back from a poor run on soft ground at Navan when a close second at Leopardstown last month (1m1f, good); stayed on well to pull clear with the winner that day; raised 4lb but is a contender. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
0-16 over hurdles and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern, but she shaped with significant promise when fifth on last month's stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) and probably sat too far off the pace when failing to build on that performance at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) three weeks later; tries a new trip here; worth a second look. |

0-15 over hurdles when based in Ireland but shaped with significant promise when fifth of 15 on recent stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); drops back in trip here; contender if that run brought him on. |

Ex-Irish maiden who was sold out of Philip Rothwell's stable for 6,000euros after two heavy defeats in early part of this year; moves back up in trip for stable debut; cheekpieces removed; market may guide. |

Reserve; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe last summer but was disappointing when last seen in this sphere at Cheltenham last autumn when wore a hood; however, has improved plenty over fences since and ran a cracker in an Aintree Grade 3 last time; 4lb out of the handicap but hurdles mark is 14lb lower than chase one; check the market if getting a run. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Irish 7yo who was successful last August/November in first two chase attempts, including at Kempton (3m, good); something to prove in this scenario, having posted duck eggs in competitive handicaps on last two starts, but in excellent hands and may yet resume improvement; not written off. |
16/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Better chaser than hurdler; this is a much deeper race than the one he won by more than 4l over C&D in November (good; effective on softer) but unwise to read too much into his subsequent defeats in Ireland that were at about 2m; a 7lb higher mark than for that last win could count, however. |
