Bumper winner for Peter Fahey and some solid efforts over flights last summer for Gavin Cromwell; cheekpieces tried here after an okay run at Downpatrick last time; should be a player in a tricky contest. |

11st 7lb |
Well-bred bumper winner was set a stiff task on hurdles debut in a Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Sandown (2m4f, soft) and came up short; off since but will like this ground and this obviously a lot easier; greatly respected. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Thrown into a tough race for her hurdle debut but she's from a top Irish yard and showed lots of promise in bumpers, winning at Punchestown (2m, good) in October before a creditable Listed second at Navan (2m, yielding); this half-sister to 2m4f/3m1f Grade 1 chase winner Spillane's Tower could relish the step up in trip and she's firmly in calculations. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner; runner up twice from seven starts in maiden hurdles and rated 108; beaten just 2.75l on penultimate at Ballinrobe; not as good at Roscommon latest but capable of better and she holds leading claims. |
11/4 |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 53y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner in 2023; 2024 never went to plan but has improved this season, with latest second at Ballinrobe her best yet (keeping on over 2m2f, soft); considered. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner; failed to complete in two hurdle starts towards the end of last year but signs she's getting her act together in two runs this summer; built on promising Tipperary return when runner-up in a 2m4f Wexford maiden hurdle last time out; should be involved if she handles the drop back in trip but unproven on slow ground. |

10st 13lb |
Finished 3.75l behind Hillhead Runner when third in a Tipperary bumper in October; well below that level in two starts since and was beaten 34l in a 2m4f bumper here on latest; best watched on hurdling debut. |

Tongue-tie goes on following wide margin defeats in a bumper and three maiden hurdles; unlikely to find sufficient improvement. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

First reserve; well beaten in sole start in a bumper; 80-1 and unseated at fifth on hurdles debut here (2m4f, good); tailed off at Cork last time when 250-1; impossible to fancy. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
10st 13lb |
Went close at Down Royal (3m, good) off this mark in October but failed to build on that in two runs afterwards on soft; more promising was her return at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding) when a 7.75l fifth of 14 back from a break; 6.25l behind Katie's Casper that day but entitled to improve over that seasonal return. |

Went close at Down Royal (3m, gd) off 1lb lower in October but failed to build on that in two starts since on soft; return to good ground could bring about an improved showing, however, after 165 days off. |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 3m 0f 100y |

Has struggled in three handicaps, from an opening mark of 94; dropped a total of 9lb before finding her level in finishing close up in third in a 20-runner contest at Down Royal last time; same 7lb claimer aboard now. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Got back on the up with a breakthrough success in 2m4f handicap at Ffos Las 22 days ago; she must enter calculations back up 2lb. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish mare who is 0-11 under rules and has been beaten about 15l in her two handicaps; unwise to rate her subsequent placed form in maidens as improvement; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |

Three seconds from eight starts over fences, and just run out of it close home in Killarney handicap seven weeks ago; mark went up 4lb to 106 after that; apparent second-string for Gavin Cromwell, but has her chance. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |

Outclassed in a Grade 2 at Punchestown ten days ago and two seconds over fences suggest she could be a factor back in a handicap. |

Second runner for these connections; course hurdle winner over 2m4f last year, was hit and miss in that sphere after; both chase runs have been here with best run a second over C&D last time; up 2lb and in grade but can be a player. |
9/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Maiden hurdle win came here (2m4f, good) last summer; softer ground in recent outings wouldn't have been ideal so potential improver now back on better ground, having not quite got home when fourth in 2m4f novice handicap on chase debut here last month (well-backed); drops in trip. |
7/1 |

4th 11 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 3lb |
Highlight of eight runs over hurdles when winning C&D maiden last July (good); has struggled in handicaps, testing conditions at Leopardstown probably not suiting last twice; straight into handicap company for chase debut and likely best watched. |

Got off the mark in a Gowran handicap over 2m last October and some decent runs in defeat after; a lesser effort when last seen over 2m7f and this trip is a question on return. |

4th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 0y |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 46y |

Won well at Gowran 11 days ago in the inaugural race in this series; 10lb rise is not unreasonable; potentially a filly who could continue on the upgrade; room for improvement in her jumping. |
