12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Steadily progressive; won Listed event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November; has advanced her form in defeat since, finishing third to Wodhooh and Feet Of A Dancer in Grade 3 at Leopardstown (2m4f, good/yielding) over Christmas before getting outstayed by the latter in a 3m Grade 2 at Doncaster (soft) in January; likeable but surely far more a place than win contender. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Steadily progressive; won Listed event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November and seemed to perform even better when third to the classy Wodhooh in Grade 3 at Leopardstown (2m4f, good/yielding; 18-1) over Christmas; more to find again and has stamina to prove as well, but she may not have reached her limit. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-7 over hurdles and rated 127, the win coming in a Thurles maiden last November; decent run in similar race to this when a 5l runner up at Listowel (2m4f, yld-sft) in September; solid effort on the Flat at Thurles latest (16.5f, good); player. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Went 0-7 over hurdles but has soon raised his profile over fences, winning well at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) and third in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; outstayed over C&D latest when 6.5l off Flicker Of Hope, so has a bit to do despite being 3lb better off with that rival. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |
11st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but in the first three on five occasions and rated 120; testing ground fine and stamina not in question but lacks a run and wears a tongue tie for the first time so probably best watched in first chase. |

Shock 150-1 Irish Cesarewitch winner at the Curragh last year; placed in all four maiden hurdles, but his jumping let him down when third at Thurles latest; will need to up his game now sent chasing. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 70y |
11st 8lb |
Won off 3lb lower at Fairyhouse in February last year; promising seasonal return at Limerick hasn't been built on and failed to complete two of last three; new headgear combination needs to spark. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |

Good overall claims in a race of this standard; however, she appears held by Sock It To Me on running at Fairyhouse last month. |

C&D winner in February last year off 95 (2m7f, good to yielding); well beaten at Punchestown in June but it was a good effort to take third at Limerick in December (2m4f, heavy); 15l behind when fell at two out last time. |

12st 0lb |
Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle (2m6f, heavy) on New Year's Day and handled good ground well when second in Thurles handicap over same trip; not sure if he stayed 3m at Cork last time. |

Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, heavy) on New Year's Day but showed likeness for good ground when runner-up to the well-treated Rushmount at Thurles two weeks ago; big chance from same mark. |

Never a factor in five starts late last year; well-backed into favourite when well beaten at Fairyhouse in November; first start for new yard after leaving Charles Byrnes; best watched. |

29th Nov 2024 Good 2m 6f 195y |
10st 11lb |
Placed form this time last year was on softer ground and recent runs haven't been encouraging; interestingly, was well backed into favourite when well beaten at Fairyhouse on penultimate start so keep a close eye on the betting. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |

0-10 over timber but has placed six times in maiden hurdles; sole handicap start came at Musselburgh in February and was soundly beaten; similar outcome in Tramore maiden hurdle latest; others appeal more. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Rated 106; has placed in six of his nine starts over hurdles; soundly beaten on handicap debut after a layoff at Musselburgh latest; will strip fitter now but more needed back in a maiden in first-time cheekpieces. |

Irish maiden who has plenty of placed form but lacks recent match practice, having been absent since November 2024; market may prove best guide to expectations; handicap debut. |
