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 |

Struggled in three runs over fences before another heavy defeat back over hurdles; she was smart in 2024 but now has much to prove. |

7th 3 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |

Reverts to hurdling after an unsuccessful spell over fences; likes good ground but it remains to be seen if she can recapture useful 2024 form. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 140y |
11st 10lb |
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. |

Flat winner; 2-26 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase in April last year; yet to shine for this stable; not badly handicapped on his old form, needs a revival. |
