12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ex-Irish filly who is 2-6 over hurdles since joining Dan Skelton last autumn, the latter win gained over 2m4f; completely unexposed beyond 1m4f on the Flat; interesting. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Thereabouts in middle-distance Flat handicaps in Ireland and has won two of three hurdles (out of depth in the other) since wind surgery, proving suited by the step up to 2m4f when winning over C&D (good) in May; raised 5lb but has major claims. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won a novice hurdle at Doncaster (2m1f, good; first start since wind surgery) in March, but faced a stiff task from 9lb out of the weights on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last month; wouldn't want the ground to ease too much, but respected otherwise. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 5lb |
Won from 4lb higher last year at Hamilton (1m4f, soft); has shown little since and was last seen on the end of a 34l defeat returning from an absence two weeks ago at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good); needs to bounce back. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Won twice last summer, at Ballinrobe off 49 and Hamilton off 52; going through the motions at Dundalk earlier this year; capable off this mark on return to turf but drawn wide and might need this after a 114-day break. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 5lb |
Dual-purpose Flat winner; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 120; promise in first two chase attempts, earning a rating of 117; beaten 17l into second of 12 behind talented Supersundae here (22.5f, gd-yld) in April; 9l fourth of 10 at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) 22 days ago; leading claims. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Flat and hurdle winner is rated 120 in the latter sphere after showing consistent form last season; ran well enough on chase bow at Kilbeggan, albeit beaten 17l; can improve from that and be involved. |
15/2 |

2nd 10 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 70y |

Useful form on the Flat and over hurdles (rated 120); suited by staying trips on the Flat; should be fit for chasing debut after AW run at the beginning of the month. |

Ex-Irish 4yo; opened his account with hurdles win in July when last seen (stable debut); interesting off current mark back on the Flat. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-14 on the Flat and 0-6 over hurdles when based in Ireland but was close third in 13-runner Cork handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) in May and will be hard to beat if somewhere near that form here; recently changed hands for 20,000euros; drops back in trip for stable debut. |

Second reserve; best efforts have come on good ground, including C&D second last season off 47; soft ground against him of late and similar scenario here. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |

Yet to get her head in front after 12 attempts and recent efforts don't suggest she's about to make that breakthrough here, despite a 2lb easing of his mark. |
