1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 2lb |
One of eight for trainer; Grade 1-placed over hurdles and off the mark over fences at the third attempt when successful at Thurles in March (2m2f, soft), making all for 12l win; creditable fourth in a 2m1f Fairyhouse handicap last time; step up in trip should suit. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |

Placed in Grade 1 mares novice' on this card last year and off the mark over fences on latest of three attempts, making all for unextended win over 2m2f at Thurles last month (soft), jumping much better; still learning and could improve to play a role here; Townend's choice. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 22y |

Second runner for yard; maiden hurdle winner has run creditably in graded contests, including third in Fairyhouse Grade 1 mares' novice last April (2m4f, soft to heavy); very disappointing in two chase starts this season, tailed off last when sent off odds-on at Naas on latest but Townend stays loyal. |

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. |

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. |

Wide margin winner of Limerick bumper in November; much improved on second attempt hurdling when clear second to a useful sort in Clonmel mares' event (soft) but has run poorly both starts since, found to have blood at both nostrils at Clonmel and (after 6 months' break) weakened tamely before last at Kilbeggan early this month; entitled to come on for latest but has questions to answer at this stage. |

Wide margin winner of yielding ground Limerick bumper in November; much improved on second attempt hurdling when a clear second to a useful sort in a mares' event at Clonmel (2m1f, soft); found to have blood at both nostrils when a disappointing favourite back at Clonmel last time; given a break following that; thereabouts. |

0-5 for Cormac Farrell but at least signed off with her best form effort at Thurles in March (2m4f, good to yielding); very interesting considering the dam enjoyed a galloping 2m4f-plus, and her new yard continues in fine form; hood added. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play. |

Useful Flat racer who was creditable second of 14 at Cork (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut for Joseph O'Brien in November; became rather disappointing for that stable afterwards and was sold for 10,000gns in March but makes debut for Tim Vaughan in a modest race. |

Winning pointer with placed hurdles form and off the mark chasing at the second attempt in C&D handicap last month in first-time blinkers, showing good attitude to shrug off a strong favourite (pair clear of third-placed Butty O'Brien); 7lb rise looks fine, big chance of a follow-up win if handling quicker conditions. |

Winning pointer; unseated midrace on her chase debut (3m) but hit the frame (beaten 11l) back over hurdles at Naas when tried in cheekpieces; fences remain a grey area, as are the new blinkers, but probably has a race in her off this mark; may need further. |
