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 |
11st 1lb |
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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In fine form after blinkers were added in early summer, winning at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) and Hexham (3m, good), before disappointing at Market Rasen last month when reportedly unsuited by the track; retains chase potential and could prove up to this mark if bouncing back. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
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. |

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. |

Veteran is 3-36 over hurdles, the last win coming here over 2m4f (good) in November 2024; handles testing ground, is 3lb below that last success and ran okay at Clonmel latest; could go well. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

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. |
