Won mares' maiden hurdle at Tipperary (2m1f, yielding) last May; handicap runs over various trips not entirely convincing but fine seventh of 20 at Cork over 2m4f off 99 three weeks ago; enters the discussion. |

10st 7lb |
Placed twice over hurdles two seasons ago; moderate form over fences until much improved when second at Wexford in March on her stable debut; was well backed then, and recovered losses when even-money favourite at Tramor last month; excellent chance off a similarly low hurdles mark; stable in form. |

Produced her best handicap run to date on stable debut in a Wexford chase (19.5f, soft) on latest when attracting market support; 3lb higher now but this shorter trip should suit on that evidence; chance. |

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. |

Bumper and dual winning hurdler; came back from almost a year off the track when well beaten in a 1m4f maiden at Dundalk in February; more promise in her 10l fifth of 12 at Navan last month (2m, soft); more needed with cheekpieces added to the tongue tie. |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |

Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last year (2m3f, good to yielding) returned from an absence with a solid third at Cork for new stable; found to be clinically abnormal at Kilbeggan latest when below-par; good chance if in full of her health; tongue tie on. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Won a maiden hurdle over slightly further at this track last year for the late Kevin Prendergast; solid third at Cork on return; should have improved from that and be involved off the same mark. |
