Fair efforts in three bumpers but well held both attempts in 2m5f maiden hurdles; plenty to find. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner; runner up in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan, Killarney and Sligo last summer; beaten almost 10l in third over C&D on handicap debut five weeks ago; should improve from the run, his first since last autumn. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |
11st 8lb |
Point winner; runner up in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m, good), Killarney (20.5f, yld-sft) and Sligo (20.5f, good) last summer; poor when last seen at Listowel in September and probably best watched after break in first handicap unless money comes. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner; consistent over hurdles in recent months, runner-up on three consecutive occasions; touched off when odds-on at Sligo last time, form due to be put to the test by the winner Sophia Rose in the 3.28 contest; officially rated 12lb inferior to Champagne Kid; has the advantage of race fitness. |

Very modest form in maidens and pulled up on handicap debut at Roscommon (2m4f, gd-yld); still early days but may need more time. |

One of two for yard; no show in a trio of maidens but might do better now tackling handicaps; check the market. |

0-7 and yet to trouble the judge; a bit better at Kilbeggan on latest (24.5f, good), but much more needed dropped back in trip. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |

Hasn't found improvement since switching to handicaps, well-held on both starts; hard to fancy from basement mark. |

Tailed off in four maiden hurdles and not much better on handicap debut at Navan when last seen in September; unlikely. |

Shown very little in three starts at huge odds in maiden hurdles so far; new yard and now tried with cheekpieces; hard to fancy. |

10st 11lb |
First foal; dam won on the Flat, is sister to winners Vocito (Flat hurdle/chase) and Volatile Lady (hurdle), family of high-class chaser Heart Wood; pulled up after never featuring on last month's Bellewstown debut; can only be watched for now. |

Flemensfirth mare cost 12,000euros as a 3yo; third foal; dam unplaced bumpers/2m hurdles, closely related to useful 2m/2m2f hurdler Theatre Girl and half-sister to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Ring The Boss; market best guide on debut. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 5lb |
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. |
6/1 |

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

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner is 0-6 over fences and rated 103; out of her depth in this company. |
