Winner of a Tipperary bumper by a nose last October; has made the frame in four of her five maiden hurdle starts and was in contention when falling at the last at Wexford; went close at Sligo last month, after making the running, headed last stride; solid chance. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
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. |

3rd 5 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |

Is 0-10 under rules; tongue tied when a creditable second of 12 in 2m Ludlow novice last month; cheekpieces are added now and she holds good form claims. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to score in eight attempts over hurdles but she's been placed five times, in Ireland and for David Pipe, and her third of 13 at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) was a solid effort in January; hasn't quite matched that in two subsequent starts but didn't stay 3m last time and now drops back down in trip in a modest event; tongue-tie added and she holds obvious claims. |

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. |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner last August has run some fine races in defeat over fences since; had excuses for a poor run at Navan last time and the cheekpieces worn then are left off; has run well here before; chance. |

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. |

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 |

Won a 2m Gowran handicap on soft in October and has been consistent in defeat since up to 2m4f; this trip poses a question off the same mark but can run well if staying. |

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. |
