4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 210y |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner last August; made three undistinguished appearances over fences before reverting to hurdles at Cork last time; should be sharper for the run; worth market check. |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner who was then beaten about 20l in a handicap; has since raced three times over fences, not kicking on from a fair first effort; hard to make a solid case. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 6lb |
Modest point-to-point form from three starts; narrow winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle in August and ran respectably on chasing debut at Killarney in October; unseen since tailed off here later that month; in the mix if at her best. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 193y |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner as a 4yo for former yard; 0-10 hurdling but just denied in C&D maiden a year ago; form this year not as good, fading tamely in mares' handicap at Galway last week; declining mark but still looks to have a bit to find. |
9/1 |

13th 14 |
29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 7lb |
Useful form for previous yards; still early days with Charles Byrnes and perhaps went off too fast in maiden company at Kilbeggan (2m2f, good; favourite); often leads and dominating a field of this size won't be easy. |
10/1 |

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. |

Dual-purpose maiden had been placed over hurdles for Gordon Elliott but has been poor in two starts for this yard (both here) and needs improvement on her best form anyway. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Won a Limerick maiden hurdle in October (2m3f, good to yielding); best runs since have come at Ballinrobe when a 2.25l second of 15 in July (2m6f, good) and a 2l third (3m2f, good) three weeks ago; she's consistent but needs to bring that to chasing now. |

Won a Limerick maiden hurdle in October (2m3f, gd-yld); best run since a 2.25l second of 15 here over 2m6f (good) on penultimate off 3lb lower; not as good at Sligo four days ago and has stamina to prove for this trip. |

Best of maiden hurdle runs was when she plugged on to finish a 25l second of six at Down Royal on penultimate run; tailed off and last of all over C&D last time; can improve entering handicaps but others more likely. |

Placed in three of her last four races, every chance if a step up in trip does the trick after a recent second placing in a 16-runner 2m contest at Clonmel; more mature now than when fading in the closing stages over C&D last November. |

Second foal; dam unplaced in points/bumper, closely related to 2m/2m4f hurdle winner Howyabud, half-sister to bumper and useful 2m-2m1f hurdle/chase winner Maria's Benefit; not a bad pedigree but seems to be the stable second-string on debut. |
