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

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. |
5/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |
11st 4lb |
Point-to-point winner has been a gradual improver over hurdles, runner-up the last twice, at Kilbeggan (2m, good) and saw today's trip out well at Killarney when only caught close home, well clear of the remainder (yielding-to-soft); looks the one to beat. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Very modest form in maidens and pulled up on handicap debut at Roscommon (2m4f, gd-yld); still early days but may need more time. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 53y |

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

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

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Heavy defeats at big prices in four maidens at 15.5f-20.5f on varying ground; cheekpieces go on for handicap debut; probably best watched. |

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

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. |

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 |

31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 128y |
11st 8lb |
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. |
