28th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 3lb |
Won Grade 2 Arkle Trial over 2m at Cheltenham in November before finishing third in 2m1f event at Leopardstown in December; appeared not to stay the extended 2m4f in the Grade 2 mares' chase at the Cheltenham Festival; however, she was placed in a Grade 1 hurdle around this distance in France two seasons ago. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Made it 2-2 over fences in the Grade 2 Arkle Trial here (2m, soft) in November before finishing third in Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown in December (2m1f, yielding; albeit no match for the first two); has won over 2m4f but faded up the hill in the 2m4f Mares' Hurdle here 12 months ago; probably needs a career-best performance if she's to run into a place. |

11st 7lb |
Dual bumper winner in France including a Grade 1 event and also won two hurdle races there; won a Leopardstown Grade 3 hurdle on second spell with this yard and respectable efforts in Grade 1 mares' races since; should be too good for these if jumping adequately on chasing debut. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Useful hurdler and she made a smooth transition to chasing towards the end of 2025, winning two mares' races at Cork (2m5f/2m1f) and beating subsequent Arkle winner Kargese by 16l in the second of them; could not maintain her progress in Grade 1 novice at Sandown in January but nor was she disgraced; top on RPRs with her mares' allowance and should go well. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 3lb |
Third in this event last year after taking the same place in Aintree Grade 1; has failed to match that form this season and has slumped 9lb in the ratings in 12 months; tailed off in Leopardstown Grade 1 won by Teahupoo; moderate fifth behind Wodhooh; a lot to prove now but could surprise. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Smart mare who was an 11l fourth to Lossiemouth in this 12 months ago before finishing third in 3m Grade 1s at Aintree and Punchestown later in the spring; hasn't quite hit the same heights this season, including 9l third to Feet Of A Dancer and Dream On Baby in Doncaster Grade 2 latest; vulnerable even if back to her very best in a change of headgear (first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces). |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Smart staying mare who won this race 12 months ago (good to soft) in game style and made the frame in three Grade 1s at the spring festivals afterwards; ran poorly against the geldings at Leopardstown four weeks ago but would have a big chance if returning to her best. |

Posted her third Listed win in convincing fashion at Kelso (3m, good to soft) four weeks ago; went close in soft-ground Grade 3 the time before; solid credentials back in a handicap. |

Two Listed novice hurdle wins last season (2m5f/3m, good/good to soft), one of them at Doncaster, and close second in Grade 3 at Punchestown (2m4f, soft) last month; this Irish challenger is firmly in calculations. |

Smart mare won the Listed novice hurdle on this card last year; rebounded from a terrible chase debut at Tramore in August to win her fifth hurdle race at Ballinrobe; is a big player. |

French recruit who is unbeaten in two starts at this venue including a Grade 3 win in February; third behind Lossiemouth and Telmesomethinggirl at Cheltenham last time out; unproven on what could be quicker ground but place chance if she handles it. |

Last run on the Flat was at Leopardstown last September when she finished in the mid-division from a 3lb higher mark (1m5f, good); won a Listed mares' hurdle at Punchestown last November before being well beaten in three Graded hurdle starts; trainer may have a better prospect for this in Too Bossy For Us |

Maiden hurdle winner was second in Listed mares' novice at Punchestown (16.5f, yielding) in May; the third has since won a Grade 2; burst blood vessel when pulled up at Punchestown on return; fell at Leopardstown latest; talented but risky proposition. |
