Major improvement since switched to handicaps, winning at Naas and Clonmel over approximately 2m and a fine effort in a Cork novice since; tougher task today up in trip but has a chance if staying. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 207y |

A winner on her penultimate start at Sligo (1m5f, good); her run last time at Gowran was not bad after she faded a little close home (2m, good); the drop back to 1m5f looks a positive and she may be capable off a 6lb higher mark. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Wide margin Tramore winner in April and two respectable efforts in two hurdle runs since; however, doesn't look well treated and he's opposable in a warm race. |

Took form to a new level by winning comfortably at Tramore (2m, yielding) but went up 8lb for that and came up short on last week's return visit; still difficult to put a line though him in current vein of form. |
