2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y |
11st 13lb |
Dual 2m hurdles winner was a disappointing favourite on chase debut at Wexford in July after not jumping fluently when last seen; last win in this sphere came in a good ground Thurles handicap last December off 114; returned from a break with a win on the Flat in early July; chance. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m hurdles winner last year on good ground (rated 121) and emerged from 156-day absence in fine form to win 1m4f Tramore Flat maiden 15 days ago, making all to beat an odds-on shot decisively; very interesting now sent chasing, handles soft. |

Dual hurdles winner last year on good ground, also fair level of form on the Flat, including runner-up in handicaps at Gowran and Clonmel over 9.5f; absent since February but entitled to be thereabouts if staying this longer trip. |

Sole victory from 21 starts came in a 1m4f handicap Dundalk in December 2024; slipped up at Dundalk on her final 2025 start after an excellent second in a 23-runner handicap at Navan; however, that was 1m6f, and this trip may prove inadequate. |
