20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
10st 0lb |
A winner of ten races over hurdles and on the Flat; scored in the Cork Derby (1m4f, soft) on most recent start in this sphere; just 4lb higher now, handles better ground and has run well over hurdles here before; okay run over fences latest and can't discount back on the level. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Cracking dual-purpose 9yo has won four hurdles and gained most valuable of six Flat wins at Cork in May; lacks a bit of scope for this game, as shown when a long way off Chichester Park at Kilbeggan; better at the latter venue since, but was still low and left at a few fences. |

Verastile dual-purpose sort who's scored four times over hurdles and six on the Flat, including Cork Derby last month on soft; latest hurdle win at Punchestown (23.5f, good) a year ago off 115; ran just okay when well held fifth over fences 15 days ago here; needs a fair step forward on that. |

Hard to win with under both codes (1-35) but last two efforts perfectly respectable and new blinkers might give her a lift. |

Only one win from 17 turf starts on the Flat but placed seven times; this year's Flat form provides little encouragement, unplaced three times, though that includes twice at Dundalk where the surface has never brought out the best in her. |

Flat/hurdle winner; came from well off the pace to chase home a clear winner over C&D last month before solid enough effort at Sligo from a wide draw; more needed but considered in a weak race. |

Five-time Flat winner has scored twice over hurdles, one of them coming at this venue over 2m4f; middling Flat efforts on her first two runs this year, but better at Downpatrick back over hurdles last month when a distant fourth (2m6f, good); others preferred; 1lb wrong. |

Scored over C&D in December (off 3lb lower) and at Chelmsford in February; has run respectably since, including when beaten favourite at Bath last time; remains on a competitive mark and won't be far away. |

Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously. |
