Off the mark at the seventh attempt over hurdles in a maiden at Fairyhouse in January (2m4f, soft); pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Cork when last seen in March; rated 112 and this looks too big an ask on return. |

Point-to-point winner; landed Navan maiden hurdle by 8.5l in March 2025; failed to complete three starts since, in a Grade 1 mares' novice at Fairyhouse (pulled up) and in beginners' chases at Down Royal (pulled up) and back at Fairyhouse (unseated); questions to answer on return to hurdling. |

Point-to-point winner; won Navan maiden hurdle last March (2m, heavy); outclassed when pulled up in course Grade 1 in April; jumping issues evident on return/chase bow when pulled up at Down Royal last month; can't be ruled out given yard's form. |

Cocked her jaw at Kilbeggan last time and was pulled up; prior to that she finished third in a reasonable-looking Fairyhouse maiden hurdle; clearly a difficult ride but likely has the ability and from the right connections. |

Winners have emerged from the maiden hurdle in which she ran third at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) and this mare should have a deal more to offer; obvious contender. |

Chase debutante; 1-8 over hurdles and rated 98; bred to make a chaser and trip and ground should be fine for her here; respectable run over hurdles at Wexford latest (3m, gd-yld); tongue tie goes on; place claims. |

Built on three promising runs in maiden hurdles when winning a 2m4f Thurles contest last March (good to yielding) under a positive ride; appeared not to stay 3m here the following month on handicap debut; down in trip now after a 2m5f Tramore run in November. |

With an official rating of 95, she comes into the reckoning. however, she looks flattered by her mark and has failed to make the first four in 11 starts (four bumpers, seven maiden hurdles); beaten 14l when sixth of ten at Fairyhouse in January; absent since. |

Modest overall form over hurdles; has run twice over fences (fell on latest) since finishing in mid-field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Gowran in November; before that, not a bad run when seventh in a 19-runner contest over 2m at Punchestown. |

First reserve; beaten a long way in two bumpers and a maiden hurdle for Gavin Cromwell; not too bad in two Sligo maiden hurdles for current yard (2m1f, good); Cork run last time was poor; may improve now entering handicaps. |

Modest efforts in bumpers and a maiden hurdle for Gavin Cromwell; improved effort on stable debut at this track in first-time blinkers last month when a 15.5l fifth; cheekpieces go on now and could get involved if stepping up again. |
