7th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 60y |
11st 12lb |
Sligo maiden hurdle winner in August of last year (17.5f, soft); soundly beaten in mares' hurdles at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) and Listowel (2m4f, yld-sft) the last twice; could rebound back in handicap company but stamina to prove. |
9/2 |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Lowest rated of the bunch; sole win came in a Downpatrick mares' maiden hurdle last year (2m1f, soft); has been chasing in recent times with little success; back over hurdles at Bellewstown late last month when beaten 17l by Adela Icon; hard to see her turning that around. |
14/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 3lb |
Odds-on for mares' maiden hurdle win at Sligo last summer; made the frame in mares' events at Listowel and Kilbeggan this summer; none too fluent and faded tamely on chase debut at Wexford last month; two moderate chase runs since then; question to answer. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |
11st 11lb |
In fine form; won at Tramore (2m5f, gd-yld) in April; another good effort off 7lb higher mark at Cork (2m3f, good); step up in trip a plus; career-best needed off this mark; due to run here 5.35 Monday. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
10st 2lb |
Made most to win decisively off 11lb lower at Tramore in April (2m5f, gd-yld); beaten 7l off revised mark at Cork 15 days ago (2m3f, good); step back up in trip a plus but this is a much deeper race; big career best needed. |
15/2 |

2nd 4 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 8lb |
Notched a second hurdles win at Tramore last time with a well-judged front-running ride from today's rider in first-time blinkers, winning easily by 13l; that success came against the tide of moderate form since her last win in 2024; likelihood is that she finds it hard to repeat the trick. |

10st 9lb |
Course winner has been in good form lately, winning a Killarney handicap over this trip and finishing third at Listowel over 2m4f; however, she has a bit to find with some of these but not ruled out. |
9/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Returned from a break with a 28-1 win at Killarney (22.5f, good) and raised 5lb for that; won over C&D at this meeting two years ago off 92; will need a career best off this mark but that's not impossible. |
6/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 80y |
11st 4lb |
Is 3-16 over hurdles, all of the wins coming on soft; her last win came in a 2m4f Limerick Christmas mares' hurdle off 116; tailed off at Naas following that and again disappointing at Limerick when last seen in April; she has won after a break in the past but the ground is a worry. |

Won three handicaps for previous yard and likes good ground; 1m6f Flat winner last year when her hurdles form wasn't great; has dropped down to last winning mark, but not a hectic record when fresh and last two wins have come in cheekpieces. |

Hurdle winner but has been well beaten over hurdles/fences of late and isn't easy to fancy until showing more spark; first-time blinkers might help. |

No win since 2023 but step in the right direction when a keeping on 4.75l third at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld) 15 days ago; effectively 7lb lower here with rider's claim; stays this far and in the mix with a repeat of that last effort. |

Course winner of a handicap chase in December, showing no ill-effects from an 11-month absence in beating a solid yardstick; in touch when falling two at Clonmel in January; could go well from a mark 7lb below her chase rating; talented 5lb claimer into the bargain. |

Won over this trip at Limerick (heavy) at the end of last season before a respectable fourth of 16 at Naas later that month and likeable reappearance effort back at Limerick over Christmas; may come on for that and warrants respect; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |
