7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo in October on good to yielding; ran a nice race in a Grade 3 Thurles novice chase in March (2m6f, soft) and bounced back from a poor effort at Fairyhouse when a distant second of 20 in a 2m1f Listed contest last time; firmly in the mix. |

2nd 15 |
30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 4lb |
A 135-rated hurdler trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo last October; best chase run was over further in a Grade 3 contest at Thurles; never a threat behind today's rival Come Walk With Me at Fairyhouse on latest. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 7lb |
135-rated hurdler trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo in October; much stiffer tasks since in Graded novices', staying on remote third over 2m at Cork and last month when made plenty of use of at Thurles but didn't seem to get home when third over 2m6f (soft); return to 2m may suit on handicap debut. |

3rd 8 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Smart hurdles form since last seen on the Flat; won Listed event at Kempton (2m5f, good) last November; third to Woodhoh in Grade 3 at Leopardstown, second in a 3m Grade 2 at Doncaster; out of her depth in Grade 1 at Cheltenham; runner-up in all three starts in Flat maidens last season, the first over C&D; likely Galway-bound, but hard to oppose here. |

6th 1 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Steadily progressive; won Listed event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November; has advanced her form in defeat since, finishing third to Wodhooh and Feet Of A Dancer in Grade 3 at Leopardstown (2m4f, good/yielding) over Christmas before getting outstayed by the latter in a 3m Grade 2 at Doncaster (soft) in January; likeable but surely far more a place than win contender. |

2nd 2 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Steadily progressive; won Listed event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November and seemed to perform even better when third to the classy Wodhooh in Grade 3 at Leopardstown (2m4f, good/yielding; 18-1) over Christmas; more to find again and has stamina to prove as well, but she may not have reached her limit. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 7lb |
Point winner and best of these over hurdles; ran creditably against some of last season's leading novice mares in two chase spins in midwinter; off since finishing down the field in the Martin Pipe, but goes well fresh and at her local track. |

21th 5 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Low-mileage 8yo; switched to chasing in last two appearances, looking a non-stayer over 2m6f latest; registered comfortable wins in non-handicaps over hurdles (2m3f/2m4f) in 2024 and 2025 but faces a stiffer assignment off a mark of 138 in this deeper field; tongue-tie applied. |

7th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 60y |
11st 12lb |
Sligo maiden hurdle winner in August of last year (17.5f, soft); soundly beaten in mares' hurdles at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) and Listowel (2m4f, yld-sft) the last twice; could rebound back in handicap company but stamina to prove. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Lowest rated of the bunch; sole win came in a Downpatrick mares' maiden hurdle last year (2m1f, soft); has been chasing in recent times with little success; back over hurdles at Bellewstown late last month when beaten 17l by Adela Icon; hard to see her turning that around. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 3lb |
Odds-on for mares' maiden hurdle win at Sligo last summer; made the frame in mares' events at Listowel and Kilbeggan this summer; none too fluent and faded tamely on chase debut at Wexford last month; two moderate chase runs since then; question to answer. |

3rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Heavy ground maiden hurdle winner at Punchestown in February before some decent efforts in competitive contests; struck again with a supremely comfortable victory at Bellewstown in August (2m1f, good); tongue-tie now added to the previously worn hood after she weakened quickly at Listowel last time; avoids penalty and leading contender if back to her best. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Twice-placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; off the mark in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last February (2m, heavy); keen throughout at Kilbeggan in June when finishing third (2m3f, good); supremely comfortable victor at Bellewstown last time when allowed to dominate (2m1f, good); jumps left at times so this track should suit and will be dangerous if given soft lead but step back up in trip raises a question; Townend chooses Jalila Moriviere. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 3lb |
Twice placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; Punchestown maiden hurdle winner on heavy in February on second start for Willie Mullins; no disgrace in Naas third in April; lesser effort at Killarney before a more satisfactory display at Kilbeggan; has tended to race too keenly; should be thereabouts if settling better. |
