9st 5lb |
Second of two for yard; 1m3f maiden winner gained deserved first stakes' win in dominant fashion on her final start of 2024 in a Listed heat at Galway (1m4f, yielding); best form is on ground with an ease and at 1m3f-1m4f; probably best watched on her return unless the ground softens. |

Displayed clear promise over 1m on both 2yo starts and, following a wind op, displayed big jolt of improvement to win easily by 15l at Kempton (1m3f, AW; first-time hood) a fortnight ago; has more on her plate here but it's very hard to gauge the limit of her ability. |

9st 2lb |
One of two for yard; Cork maiden winner has placed multiple times in Listed company; beaten 5.75l behind Fleur De Chine on latest at Naas (1m4f, yielding) when not enjoying the smoothest of passages; could get closer to that rival in new cheekpieces but heavy ground is an unknown and deserted by Hayes. |

Won Cork maiden on debut last summer and has contested Listed events in five of six starts since, including over this trip when chasing home a 4l winner at the Curragh and third at Roscommon (Cheeky Wink second); closely matched with a couple of these on recent Galway run when left with fair bit to do; could go well. |

Traffic problems on latest start when beaten 7.75l into fourth in a Listed heat at Galway (1m4f, yielding); previously finished 1.75l behind Ameerat Jumaira in a 1m4f Curragh handicap and is 9lb better off now; every chance of turning that form around on these terms; claims. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Yard runs three; well beaten in Listed races last autumn but, fit from hurdling, made a good Flat return when second at Navan (1m6f, heavy) at the end of March; that was both her Flat handicap debut and the furthest she's been in this sphere, which opens up possibilities for her as a Flat stayer. |

Dual-purpose; hacked up in a maiden hurdle here last month (2m, heavy); struggled on last three Flat starts in listed company in the autumn but might be a different proposition now tried in a handicap off what could be a workable mark; big player. |

In great form earlier this season notching up back-to-back handicap wins at Cork off 75 and Gowran Park off 82; not disgraced in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) on her penultimate start but well-beaten in a Listed heat at Gowran Park on latest; probably up against it in this company. |
