Won a Wexford bumper last year and has run some solid races in defeat over hurdles; finished behind Kaleo Ametsa on Flat debut at Leopardstown; a little better at Tramore. |

Won a Wexford bumper a year ago and has run some solid races in defeat over hurdles since including at Cork last time; beaten 10l in a Leopardstown maiden on sole Flat start; has a bit to find but can be involved. |

Struck a vein of good form at around this time last season, when placed at Naas and Leopardstown; recent form is less persuasive; cheekpieces added. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Struck a vein of good form at around this time last season, when placed at Naas and Leopardstown; reverts to the Flat after two runs over hurdles at Sligo; others preferred. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |
10st 11lb |
1-21 on the Flat, although placed on several occasions; her C&D maiden hurdle run here (good) last time wasn't too encouraging; makes handicap hurdle debut now but others make more appeal. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Gained first handicap win at Cork (2m4f, good) last month off 5lb lower; soundly beaten over 2m1f back at that venue off revised mark 23 days ago; step back up in trip here a plus so could bounce back. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Both wins have been on good ground, notably last month in 2m4f handicap here, surviving stewards enquiry after hanging left on run-in and hampering second; up 6lb for that and cheekpieces now added to usual tongue-tie. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Won her maiden on good ground and, back under similar conditions, she found only one too good at Clonmel (2m3f); solid chance off 1lb higher. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 26y |
11st 5lb |
Often leads and has been runner-up in seven of her 10 hurdles outings; mark has been steadily declining, though, and tame effort in Galway handicap last time. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 4lb |
Stable won this in 2022 and 2023; this mare is 0-9 over hurdles but has finished runner-up seven times, including her sole handicap start two outings ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |
14/1 |

2nd 11 |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |
10st 11lb |
Has been runner-up in six of her eight hurdle starts but there was no improvement tackling a first handicap at Ballinrobe last time; needs to find a bit extra to get the job done. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 139y |
11st 7lb |
Some okay runs in bumpers last summer and ran her best race over hurdles back from a break at Clonmel (2m1f, good to yielding) last time when a 1.25l second of 18; big player if staying this new trip and finding improvement from that first run back. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
10st 13lb |
Couple of decent runs in bumpers last summer, two maiden hurdle runs not so good, soft ground may not have suited second occasion; seasonal return and ground more in her favour in what looks a modest maiden. |
7/2 |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |
10st 13lb |
0-6 but runner-up on her yard debut in a Tramore bumper and respectable efforts twice since, although could do with tidying up her jumping having made errors on hurdle bow at Down Royal a fortnight ago. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
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. |

3rd 7 |
10th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 194y |
10st 5lb |
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. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 168y |

Won 2m3f Limerick maiden last October and ran well there in 2m4f handicap in May; career-best last month when staying-on second in 2m6f Ballinrobe handicap; shortlisted. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 195y |

Second reserve; dual-purpose maiden; yet to trouble the judge in either code; rated 34 and leap of faith required to fancy her here. |
