22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
She'll find it hard to beat a peak-form Panic Attack and she was pulled up in the Irish National 16 days ago; however, she was running well in January, in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Fairyhouse (2m6f, yielding) and the Thyestes Handicap at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy; albeit no match for the first two); no surprise if she bounces back with a good performance today. |

Had a good season as a novice last term, four wins included 2m4f Grade 3 Tipperary novice and finished third to Dinoblue at Cheltenham; reappeared with a fine third in the Galway Plate in July; pulled up in Kerry National when reported with atrial fibrillation and signs of being in season; jumped untidily when predictably no match for Dinoblue at Fairyhouse. |

Four-time winner over fences, including a 2m4f Grade 3 novice success at Tipperary last October; distant third behind Dinoblue at Cheltenham; remote seventh in the Irish Grand National; put in a fine effort when third at 33-1 in the Galway Plate; Jordan Gainford retains the ride; capable of another big run |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Below her best this season but has been running over fences and chasing doesn't appear to suit; won two Grade 2 mares' novice hurdles in early 2023 (2m4f/2m1f, good to soft/soft) and second in a mares' Grade 2 last January (3m, good); could bounce back with big run now reverting to hurdles. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Won four-runner mares' chase at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month and is now 4-9 over fences; this race is much more competitive but she could have untapped potential over 3m. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle winner on soft but two chase wins in 2025 were on good to soft, latterly at Cheltenham (about 2m4f) in December, and failures since have come on heavy and soft; needs to jump better than she did at Ludlow in February (over 17l behind Malaita) but she could revive back on good ground. |

Odds-on when winning a Bangor novice chase in February; useful hurdler with Listed honours but looks on a tough mark for her first handicap. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

C&D winner for whom a good case can be made on last season's peak efforts; hasn't hit the same heights on her four runs this term but Kempton last time was a step back in the right direction and she could take another today in first-time cheekpieces; chance. |
