3rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Heavy ground maiden hurdle winner at Punchestown in February before some decent efforts in competitive contests; struck again with a supremely comfortable victory at Bellewstown in August (2m1f, good); tongue-tie now added to the previously worn hood after she weakened quickly at Listowel last time; avoids penalty and leading contender if back to her best. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Twice-placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; off the mark in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last February (2m, heavy); keen throughout at Kilbeggan in June when finishing third (2m3f, good); supremely comfortable victor at Bellewstown last time when allowed to dominate (2m1f, good); jumps left at times so this track should suit and will be dangerous if given soft lead but step back up in trip raises a question; Townend chooses Jalila Moriviere. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 3lb |
Twice placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; Punchestown maiden hurdle winner on heavy in February on second start for Willie Mullins; no disgrace in Naas third in April; lesser effort at Killarney before a more satisfactory display at Kilbeggan; has tended to race too keenly; should be thereabouts if settling better. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
12st 0lb |
Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting. |
14/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises. |

Off the mark over C&D earlier this month when coming late for neck success in novice handicap (yielding) on return from chasing; up 4lb but respected off a light weight. |

7th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 60y |
10st 13lb |
0-8 over hurdles; fine run here over 16.5f (good) off 1lb lower on penultimate; didn't fire over fences at Listowel on latest but return to this sphere a plus and he's hinted that this sort of trip might suit before; not out of this. |

26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Has been running well in defeat over hurdles including a 5l fourth of 20 at the Galway festival on latest (16.5f, good); eye-catching jockey booking for chase debut and handles easy ground; could go well. |

9st 6lb |
Losing run since July 2023 but has been giving the impression his turn may be near again in two starts for his new yard; yet to try further than 1m2f on the Flat but has shaped like it would suit at times and one to consider. |

Won this event two years ago; fair form towards the end of last season; out of sorts this term until showing signs of a revival when fourth at Navan on stable draw; drawn high but Nicola Burns may be able to counter any disadvantage |

Narrow winner at Clonmel off a mark of 90 when she kept on well to lead (2m3f, good); again showed stamina back at that track most recently when third (2m4f, good to yielding); this new trip may suit her. |

Soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles last season; returned in Thurles maiden three weeks ago and was always in rear; top jockey aboard for handicap debut but big leap of faith required. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
10st 12lb |
Won off 1lb lower at Kilbeggan in August (2m, good to yielding); no major impact in four starts since, but was staying on well when sixth of 18 at Punchestown last time (2m1f, yielding); withdrawn due to unsuitable ground last month for soft to heavy ground at Thurles, so may want ground to dry out here. |

Went up 6lb for 2m Kilbeggan win; out of the money at Roscommon; not sure to stay 2m4f as effectively as some of these rivals. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y |
11st 12lb |
Decent performer on the Flat, winning twice and rated 87 at his peak; hooded (retained) and tailed off on his Irish and hurdles debut on heavy at Punchestown last month; ground more suitable now but can only be watched after that last effort. |

24th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 157y |

Useful form on the Flat for Ed Bethell including a 1m6f win off 82; hood goes on for his stable/hurdles debut; stays at least 2m on the level so this may not be a sufficient stamina test; probably best watched, especially on this ground. |
