20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; won a C&D maiden in 2024; gained a deserved Listed success at Killarney over 1m last time after some solid runs in defeat at that level; has run well over C&D but the forecast testing ground is a concern. |
7/1 |

1st 5 (9) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 4lb |
Won Gowran maiden (9.5f, good) last summer on yard debut and ran well in three starts in Listed company earlier this season, latter occasion staying on to grab third in good-class Navan fillies contest over this trip; back from a break and definite place claims again. |
9/1 |

Won Gowran maiden (9.5f, good) last June on her second start (debut for this stable); no impact in Dundalk Listed in September; impeded inside last furlong on reappearance in Leopardstown Listed (1m, good); good third in 9.5f Gowran Listed last month; each-way contender. |

10th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Second in a Listed race at Killarney last year; likely to find this company too demanding, though worth noting she was aimed higher in the Matron Stakes. |
16/1 |
|
10th 4 (13) |
12th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
C&D maiden winner last year and followed up on seasonal return at Fairyhouse in June; highly-tried since, including beaten 6l in Group 1 Matron Stakes, well below best on heavy ground latest; place claims back on better ground. |
15/2 |
|
1 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Won 1m Naas maiden on only start at three; has confirmed a fair standard form this year; however, this is very ambitious following her 6l fourth behind Vera's Secret in a 7f Group 3 event here in June and Listed second at Killarney last month. |

9st 4lb |
Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-11 this term for current yard but some solid efforts including latest when strong-finishing third in Naas fillies Listed a week ago over this trip (yielding); this looks a better race so more required. |

3rd 7 (6) |
12th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-10 this term for current yard, appearing a bit one-paced back at today's trip last two times on heavy; looks to have a bit to find. |
12/1 |
|
5 (2) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
One of three for yard; rated 94 and shaped nicely when a 3.25l third of 9 in a listed race at Killarney (1m, good) last month; won on soft ground in France and is preferred by McMonagle so has to be considered for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022. |

12th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth last year; has not matched that form this term but run well in defeat, notably Killarney Listed second (soft); not at that level in similar contest on latest however and bit to prove now but major claims if back to her best. |
9/2 |
|
4th 10 (11) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |
8st 12lb |
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth last year; has not matched that form this term but has continued to run well in defeat, including second C&D fillies Listed last month on soft; may not have handled the track at Galway last time but entitled to be in the mix on overall form. |

31st Jul 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Juvenile career ended on a high when fourth in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm); has not matched that form but has continued to run well in defeat; a four-time runner-up (three Group 3s and a Listed); high draw is a concern, but otherwise has plenty going for her. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
One of two runners for a yard that's won this four times; ran to a smart level on the Flat and made a winning start over hurdles, but reality checks have followed in Graded races won by tip-top juvenile Narciso Has; hardly brings momentum into his handicap debut and has a lot of weight; there will be no ground excuses. |
20/1 |
|
6th 1 |
2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Very useful on the Flat for John Murphy, achieving a rating of 101; ready debut hurdles winner of Navan maiden (heavy) before fourth of 10 to Narciso Has in Grade 2 over C&D at Christmas, racing a bit keenly and weakening from last (North Shore third); improvement needed but does go on testing ground. |

Three-time C&D winner; no further success since July 2023 turf win at Killarney; stayed on to take fourth behind Una Matata last time; down 2lb and should appreciate this trip. |

10st 1lb |
Three-time course 1m winner; no further success since July 2023 turf win at Killarney; fair form here November/December, not so good last month; 7f probably a bit sharp for him. |

8th 12 (10) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Three-time C&D winner; no further success since July 2023 turf win at Killarney; two recent efforts here behind Instant Appeal were okay but may need more help from the handicapper (rider's claim a positive). |

9st 4lb |
One of three for yard; 4-14 and rated 96; won a Killarney handicap (1m, yld-sft) three starts ago off 93; came up well short in a listed race back there on latest and McMonagle prefers her stablemate. |

Ground-versatile 4yo whose two wins this term have been on softer ground, latest over C&D last month; quite keen and didn't get home in Galway premier handicap latest; claims. |

Ground-versatile 4yo whose two wins this term have been on softer ground, latest at Killarney earlier this month; up 12lb this year so another career-best needed. |

Much improved from Curragh debut run in June when winning 1m1f fillies maiden there month later, making all; one of two unexposed runners for the yard although this a much stiffer task. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Sent off at 66-1 in 1m2f maiden here on debut but far from disgraced finishing seventh of 19, 10.5l behind the winner; stayed on well so not sure this drop back in trip will suit but worth watching with a view to the future. |

Lope De Vega filly is first foal of a 1m-1m2f winner (inc AW Group 3; RPR 106), a half-sister to winners Delius (French 1m4f Group 3) and Juan Elcano (1m2f Listed); market likely best guide on debut. |

12th 14 (10) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
8st 13lb |
Off the mark in 1m AW maiden at Dundalk in February and beaten under 2l in valuable Lingfield AW handicap early this month over same trip; barely gets 1m2f so potentially vulnerable back on the turf. |
14/1 |

6th 11 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Seventh career run when winning a 1m AW maiden at Dundalk which he was entitled to at odds-on; only fifth back there on handicap debut but was never in the best place after starting slowly; may yet to have more to offer. |
