Won off 8lb lower at Downpatrick in May (2m6f, good); back on track after two poor chase runs when a 5l second of 16 at Listowel (2m6f, gd-yld) in first time blinkers (retained); this tougher off 3lb higher and majority of best form is on better ground. |

Well held in her maiden hurdles but those efforts weren't devoid of promise, nor one of her bumper runs; could be interesting on this switch to handicaps. |

Fair bumper form; wasn't disgraced in first two hurdle starts but took a backward step at Fairyhouse in October; absence to overcome but monitor the betting on handicap debut. |

Dual-purpose vetera; six wins on Flat, is 2-28 over hurdles, both wins at Sligo (latest in June 2023); minor placed form last May/June at Downpatrick and Perth; in rear in both races in recent months. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 180y |
10st 13lb |
12-race maiden has come closest when neck second over C&D on penultimate run (good); put in another good performance here prior to that when third here; pulled up latest at Wexford but if she is to make the breakthrough it is likely to come here and blinkers can help, although soft ground a concern. |
7/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 100y |

Maiden getting closer, most recently only caught close home over 2m6f at Downpatrick 18 days ago, having been made plenty of use of; 4lb higher but should go well over this less demanding track. |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Finished in front of Benz but 2.5l behind Georgia Celena over C&D when last seen (good); 4lb better off with that rival now; has been running consistently and the cheekpieces worn at Hexham in her run prior now go back on after being left off in her most recent run; she should go close. |

11st 7lb |
6yo who made it 4-10 over fences when completing a double with his late thrust at Hexham (3m, good) last month; up 3lb but he's been as good as ever in his last two starts and he's strong stayer as this trip; key player. |

Dug deep to resume winning ways at Perth (2m4f, good to soft; 15-8 favourite) over three weeks ago; that was his second run there in the space of 24 hours (third over 3m previous day); 4lb higher with blinkers applied, but Shane Fenelon's 5lb claim lessens that burden; key player. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
10st 7lb |
Veteran is 3-38 over hurdles, the last win coming at Punchestown (2m4f, good) in November 2024 off 84; decent fourth at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) before dismal effort at Punchestown next time (2m3f, heavy); bounced back with rallying runner-up finish at Clonmel last time (2m, heavy); on career low mark and can't be ruled out. |

Veteran is 3-37 over hurdles, the last win coming at Punchestown (2m4f, good) in November 2024; handles testing ground and ran well when fourth here (2m4f) last month; needs to bounce back from dismal effort at Punchestown. |

Nine-race maiden; showed promise in bumpers in 2022; tailed off in two runs since belated return and looks very risky. |

100-1 when tailed off in a Down Royal maiden 18 days ago on his return from a mammoth absence; wouldn't be the obvious answer on his handicap debut. |

Maiden is 0-6 over hurdles; finished second in a 2m5f Tramore maiden (gd-yld) in August 2024; beaten 11.5l in a Bellewstown claimer on latest; more needed back in handicap company with cheekpieces worn last time left off. |
