11st 2lb |
Won a 2m handicap in 2024 for Henry de Bromhead; back to form in November on first run for this yard and not discredited next time but, with tongue-tie fitted after wind surgery, she pulled up lame on chase debut in January and was well beaten when upped to an extended 2m3f three weeks ago; this trip is a big step into unknown territory. |

Mixed form this season, best efforts over hurdles at Navan, winning 2m handicap and second to a progressive horse over 2m4f last time; two less encouraging runs over fences, well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Porterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when found to have blood at both nostrils; trainer won this last year. |

Six-time winner split evenly between hurdles and fences; began season with two poor runs over hurdles but returned to form when making all to land a gamble in a 2m handicap hurdle here in November (heavy); well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Poterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when last seen when found to have blood at both nostrils; chance at his best |

Better over fences than hurdles, notching back-to-back Musselburgh chase wins (2m4f) last November/December; tough task in Carlisle Class 2 (beaten 38l) when last seen 146 days ago; this should bring her on with a return to fences (rated 5lb higher) likely. |

Didn't have a good strike-rate over hurdles or fences but then went back-to-back in 2m4f handicap chases on good to soft at Musselburgh late last year; 5lb higher than for that latest 5l success and her subsequent defeat was over hurdles; chance. |

Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
10lb higher than for his Perth win last June (2m, good), after which he ran well on the Flat at Galway; back from 289 days off when beaten about 12l at Wexford and that could have been needed; on a tough mark, though. |

12st 0lb |
Returned from 181-day absence at Perth (2m, good) in June last year to get off the mark over hurdles with an easy victory off 95 when a well-backed 15-8 favourite; posted a fine third off top weight on the Flat at the Galway festival when last seen; big player but market will be crucial after his absence. |

Last win over hurdles came nearly three years ago; was pulled-up on return from a long absence at Wexford; others preferred. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |
10st 11lb |
Both wins have been on decent ground (2m); absent since halfway faller at Navan in November 2024 so likely to need this comeback run. |
20/1 |
