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. |

2nd 6 (3) |

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. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 2lb |
Couple of fair efforts in maiden hurdles last year, not out of the first three in four point-to-points this year; landed a maiden hunters chase at Cork by 12l and backed up that run when second to Muskerry Rock at Wexford 30 days ago; on a fair mark on handicap chase debut and open to more improvement than most. |

2nd 8 |
7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |

Placed in a maiden hurdle last season; made the frame in all four outings in points; looked progressive when winning a four-runner hunter chase at Cork by 12l, though her task was eased by sloppy jumping on the part of favourite Lucy Wang; seemed to enjoy better ground and may continue to improve |

Ballinrobe maiden winner last season (2m1f, good); well held twice since over around 2m4f, latest after winter break in Gowran handicap in February on heavy; ground looks against her here. |

Lightly raced mare came good on third maiden hurdle run when taking 2m1f Ballinrobe mares contest last month, possibly not suited by tight track but never stronger than at the finish; good chance she'll find more at this longer trip and respected on handicap debut with capable claiming amateur booked. |

Off the mark at Clonmel in April (2m, soft) off 6lb lower; stamina test remains in doubt after moderate fifth at Tramore next time (2m5f, yielding); fell at the last when weakening on chase debut here last time (2m2f, good to yielding); capable of winning but beaten fav' last twice. |

Got off the mark over hurdles at Clonmel last month when dropped to 2m (soft); stamina test remains in doubt after moderate fifth at Tramore (20.5f) on latest; half-sister to high-class chaser Thunder Rock so must be of interest on chase bow back down in trip. |

Won over hurdles at this meeting last year and added a chase win at Tramore last time over 2m6f; the runner-up then has won since, so should be capable of going well off a 5lb higher mark. |
