Sole win came over 1m5f (good) at Navan last May; 2lb lower now but was out of form when last seen at the Curragh in October; best watched on seasonal return. |

Sole win came over 1m5f at Navan in May (good) although only narrowly beaten at Listowel off this mark on similar ground; recent Ayr run (soft) leaves her with a bit to find but better ground to suit. |

Two Flat wins on AW; no doubts about fitness after three recent runs on the Flat; hurdles mark is based on three 2021/22 outings; getting on in years but could be a dark horse. |

10st 1lb |
Both wins on AW; returned from absence with moderate effort over C&D but improved effort four days later when 3.5l behind Omakase at Gowran (short of room late on); has to enter calculations 11lb better off factoring in rider's claims. |

Both wins on AW and well held behind Makaiah on Saturday; entitled to come on for that but it's a quick turnaround; possible a return to further will help though. |

Flat/hurdle winner; came from well off the pace to chase home a clear winner over C&D last month before solid enough effort at Sligo from a wide draw; more needed but considered in a weak race. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner whose sole win in 23 starts under rules came in a Down Royal maiden hurdle last May; not shown much this year until chase debut at Tramore last time, falling two out when still in contention (Drop A Threat fourth); should build on that. |

Dual course winner last spring who was well fancied over C&D on Friday, only to overrace in a messy affair; needs considering under Oisin Murphy, who's taking a first ride for the trainer (always to be respected with runners here). |

Off the mark with 1m4f success at Dundalk in February and creditable efforts in defeat on AW since; despite missing the break, took the step up to 16.5f in her stride when winning at Gowran (good) on latest; player from 6lb higher. |

Off the mark with a 1m4f success at Dundalk in February and creditable efforts in defeat on AW since; acts with cut in the ground and switch to turf won't be an issue but needs to prove she's as good at this trip. |

Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |

Recorded a third hurdles win off a career low mark at Thurles in October (2m4f, good to yielding), beating Tir Og by a neck; decent enough sixth on Flat at Gowran back from a break last month, considering she stumbled at the start; she will have easier opportunities than this. |

Has been running well on the Flat; fair hurdles record but 13lb out of the handicap here; tough task in the circumstances, though rider's 5lb allowance will help. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 13lb |
Locally-owned mare took a long time to come to hand but thrived under both codes last year, recording four wins including this race and a handicap hurdle here in October; promising run at Navan lately and headgear worn for latest Flat win is back on; crack apprentice on board too, so loads to like. |

Won four races last year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat, including her last start in this sphere at Galway in October; late-season form also included a Bellewstown second, splitting two of these rivals Idomything and Bhean Sainbhre; needs to reverse the form of seasonal debut at Navan with Bhean Saibhre |

Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |

Three-time winner over hurdles with the most recent of those coming at Wexford in March (2m, good to yielding) off 104; not too many noteworthy efforts since then, both on Flat and over hurdles, but not bad at the same time; others preferred |
