Four-time Flat winner has also won over hurdles; won over 1m7f at Leopardstown in July but has been below that level since off this mark and has to rebound. |

Likes a stamina test, last three wins at around this trip including at Leopardstown last month off 71; hampered start when never counting at same venue 9 days ago but that run can be forgiven and remains a player. |

Won two staying handicaps last year and added another one over C&D (gd-yld) two weeks ago; a 6lb rise makes things harder but another good run likely on the cards. |

8st 7lb |
Went up 14lb in total for early-season wins at Gowran and Ballinrobe; down the field over 1m6f here last time, and held by several of these on that evidence; probably a bit high in the ratings now. |

One of two runners for yard; won for the fifth time when taking a 1m5f Ballinrobe handicap last time; won over this trip on seasonal debut too; up 7lb and has an unhelpful draw so more needed again. |

Only win in 2m Limerick maiden in 2022 but decent third in this race last year off 3lb higher; pulled up after never travelling over fences recently and blinkers now tried for hurdles return. |

26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 2f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |
10/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 87y |

Three-time winner over hurdles with the most recent of those coming at Wexford in March (2m, good to yielding) off 104; not too many noteworthy efforts since then, both on Flat and over hurdles, but not bad at the same time; others preferred |

Six-time AW winner is 0-19 on turf; hasn't looked like ending that winless run on last three starts, beaten 13l at Navan on latest; others hold stronger claims. |

Bumper and hurdles winner has been disappointing overall over fences and in one hurdle run this year, except for when second of six over fences at Tramore (2m, good) on penultimate; others are more appealing. |
25/1 |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Useful hurdler with placed form in Listed and Graded company as a novice; much improved on fourth chase start at Tramore when close second, around 2l in front of Pampar Lady in race in which Future Prospect departed two out; not sure to appreciate this extra half-mile. |
10/1 |

Mild promise in maiden hurdles; first sign of life in handicaps when beaten 10.5l at Cork last time out (18.5f, good to yielding); drops back in trip in her usual hood and needs further improvement to hit the frame here; declared to run here on Saturday. |
