10st 0lb |
Maiden hurdle winner here last season (2m4f, soft) is 0-5 chasing this term, standout run when only caught close home by a strong favourite in 2m4f Naas handicap in February (heavy), having hit the last; reportedly never travelled before pulled up over 3m at Navan last month, but claims if back to her Naas form. |

11st 7lb |
Punchestown maiden hurdle winner was a distant second in the third of her beginners' chase starts at Naas (2m4f, soft); improved for switch to handicaps in a Listed contest back there last time (2m4f, heavy) when making a mistake at the last and being headed in the final strides; up 6lb for that but should be thereabouts. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 0y |

Punchestown maiden hurdle winner in January last year; saddle slipped when pulled up on seasonal return in a mares' beginners' at Cork; no real excuses when tailed off here next time over C&D; better effort when a distant second in a beginners' back here latest; may do better now in handicap chases. |

Bumper winner has been running respectably over hurdles; finished a 4.75l third of 13 at Gowran (2m4f, heavy) last month; same mark here but quicker ground a query. |

Bumper winner is 0-11 hurdling but good second in Punchestown maiden (2m4f, soft) last season; solid form of late in handicaps; dropped 1lb for latest fifth at Punchestown and capable 7lb claimer aboard. |

Maiden has shown ability in bumpers and her best maiden hurdle run came over 2m4f at Punchestown last month, keeping on strongly into third behind an all-the-way winner on soft; headgear combination now tried and place claims again. |

11st 7lb |
Smart hurdler won a Grade 3 mares' novice at Down Royal last November; well beaten in the Cheltenham mares' novice after a break and was poor in a Punchestown handicap since; however, point winner ran well over fences on second go last year so is respected. |

Handicap debutante; 2-7 over hurdles and made all to land a Grade 3 mares' novice at Down Royal on her penultimate start (2m1f, gd-yld); well beaten in mares' novice at Cheltenham on latest; needs to bounce back. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
A stablemate of Echoing Silence; strike-rate of 2-6 over hurdles wouldn't be in keeping with a typical winner of this race, and neither would the fact that she's already tried fences (0-2); however, she made all in a Grade 3 at Down Royal in late October (2m1f, good to yielding) and was determined in keeping Carrigmoornaspruce at bay; could run well. |

30th Mar 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 185y |
10st 12lb |
Mild promise in third maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in January; not a bad effort on handicap debut when sixth of 17 at Leopardstown (2m, yielding); pedigree suggests this trip might suit; could outrun her likely odds. |

Has won two of her four chases and quite readily floored the odds-on favourite in a Listed novice at Chepstow three weeks ago (2m3f, good to firm; handles good but softer has looked troublesome); has something to find at these weights but with no fitness issues she's respected. |
