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 |

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. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
10st 8lb |
Rated 105 over hurdles but performed above that level when winning on chase debut at Wexford, jumping well; however, this is much tougher and a place looks the best she can do. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Back to form over hurdles in recent months, but she's a long way inferior to several of these in that sphere and it's late in the day to be going chasing; best watched. |

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

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. |

Five hurdle wins to her credit, including this race last year; not seen since running respectably behind Duke Silver at Leopardstown in December; 10lb higher than last year with an eight month absence to overcome. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 180y |
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. |

11st 6lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles for Paul Kiely; ran well despite jumping left on her stable debut at Listowel last month; down the field in a Tramore Flat handicap since; would not be a total surprise if she got involved. |

Won three hurdle races and a 1m6f Flat handicap for her previous trainer; suited by good ground; made a bright start for this stable when fourth in a handicap hurdle at Listowel last month. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

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. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 13lb |
1-25 over hurdles, the win coming over 3m on heavy ground at Clonmel in 2023; is now 13lb lower and he showed promise at Clonmel in May when a 4.75l third of ten (2m4f, good to yielding); hasn't matched that performance in three runs since. |

First positive run in a while when beaten 5l into third at Clonmel (19.5f, gd) in May but failed to build on that when no impression at Tramore 17 days ago; step up in trip not sure to suit. |

Has a good record over hurdles at this venue; has yet to score in 13 starts over fences; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; stablemate The Dara Man is more interesting. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 108y |

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. |

Won at Listowel (23.5f, good) off 5lb lower in May last year; subsequently went close off revised mark at Punchestown (3m, gd-yld) and Galway (3m, yielding) and is now 5lb lower than when beaten 1l in the latter race; positive signs at Wexford latest and enters calculations now. |
