27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner who was competitive in bumpers there; won a maiden hurdle before finishing close up under a big weight on handicap debut at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft), and a combination of 3m on tiring ground is good reason to turn a blind eye to her no-show in a Listed race for mares at Doncaster; difficult to oppose given what she's up against here. |

Plenty of promise in Ireland and has soon raised her game for Dan Skelton, running her best race when close up under a big weight on handicap debut at Aintree two months ago (2m4f, good to soft); highly likely that she'll improve again for going over 3m. |

Rated 114; won a mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, gd-yld) on penultimate; not as good on latest in a mares' hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good); the step back up in trip is a plus so she could rebound. |

Verdict
Quite a few of these have shown promise, including the Willie Mullins-trained Hello Jean who had subsequent Cork runner-up Jo’s Secret behind when a staying-on third over 2m at Leopardstown. The more exposed pair Derryville and Lau And Shaz should also enter calculations. However, a speculative vote goes to SOLDIERSTOWN, a debut point winner whose dam has a solid record. Her rider’s 7lb claim is an asset. [Alan Sweetman]
