29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 146y |
10st 11lb |
A 14-race maiden over hurdles; won a Wexford beginners' chase last month but offered little in her subsequent handicaps. |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Regressed over hurdles but got off the mark in a C&D beginners race on only her second run over fences; however, was well held in a Killarney handicap only last week. |

Regressive maiden over hurdles but showed much improved form to get off the mark on second chase start at Wexford over about 2m4f; tougher task on handicap debut but is open to improvement. |

10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Henry de Bromhead and in-foal mare steadily improving for this yard, winning Tipperary mares beginners chase and most recently second to a clear winner in 2m5f Killarney mares hurdle; looks out of her depth here though. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Maiden hurdle winner for Henry de Bromhead and won over fences last time for this yard; has a shout on these terms if back to some of her better hurdle form. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |

One of two for yard; bumper and hurdles winner on yielding and soft to heavy; much improved on second chase start when going close in a beginners' at Tramore (15.5f, gd-yld) in late May; this longer trip worth a go on the evidence of that run; chance. |

11st 12lb |
Likeable type was dual winning hurdler in 2024 and two chase wins last year; good third over hurdles at Killarney (2m7f) when tried in cheekpieces and has good record at this time of year. |

11st 4lb |
Won three handicap hurdles on varying ground in 2023; good runs in 2024 but below form last year; improved on Punchestown return to be beaten 11.5l into fifth at Cork 13 days ago; holds each-way claims but needs more off this mark. |

Three-time hurdle winner in 2023; some good runs in the meantime - including over fences - and perhaps needed last month's comeback run at Punchestown (it looked that way). |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |

Point-to-point winner won first two starts over hurdles last year on heavy ground for Donald McCain; no impact in two chase starts for that stable on quicker ground and similarly on recent yard debut at Tipperary; hard to fancy. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
8st 9lb |
Very useful hurdler and course winner on the Flat here in 2m1f handicap off 5lb lower last month, following up Leopardstown (1m7f, good-to-firm) victory over Eagle Fang; meets that rival on better terms but has to put tame effort at Galway behind her. |
14/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |

Very useful hurdler has come good on the flat of late on decent ground, winning Leopardstown maiden and following up in 2m1f Killarney handicap when allowed to dictate matters; up 7lb for that but can still go well. |

Point winner whose best run came at Sligo in June when beaten 3.5l into third in extended 3m1f hurdle; not at same level in two subsequent outings over hurdles; back over fences now, but previous five starts in this sphere were moderate; blinkers on. |

11st 11lb |
Flattered by second placing in a 21.5f Tramore beginners' chase on stable debut when benefitting from carnage at the second last fence; however, she was staying on pretty nicely so looks worth a go at this longer trip back over hurdles; visor goes on. |
15/2 |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
11st 5lb |
3-16 over hurdles for John McConnell, the wins coming at 2m3f-2m5f; has failed to match that over fences; has changed to a leading local stable; talented 5lb claimer rides. |
7/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Is 3-16 over hurdles but not at the same level over fences as of yet; there are signs of improvement, though and her run at Perth last time was her best so far; could be more improvement in new set of headgear. |

12st 0lb |
Signed off for Willie Mullins with a claiming hurdle win at Sligo (2m2f, good) last month and has good claims here if judged on that performance but he suffered a heavy defeat over fences for new stable 12 days ago and has become hard to predict. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y |

In new yard after winning a Sligo claiming hurdle for Willie Mullins last time, albeit she was very well treated by the weights that day; has chase experience but needs to do more. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 193y |

With a top yard but yet to add to her 2023 maiden hurdle win in seven starts since, the last three over fences; best treated by race conditions if she runs to her rating of 116 but hard to be massively confident she will. |

Dual-purpose mare won over hurdles at this meeting in 2022 and took her fifth race in that sphere at Listowel in May; beaten 6l on chasing debut at Tipperary since and will have to improve plenty from that. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |

Dual-purpose chasing debutante is 5-21 over timber and rated 130; modest run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding but she will be well-schooled and can't be discounted. |
