14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
11st 8lb |
Has recorded her only two wins over hurdles at this venue, both over longer distances than this; stuck to her task over 2m4f here last October; failed to exploit a much lower chase mark here the following month and absent since. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
11st 3lb |
Sole win over timber came at this venue and went close over C&D in June; encouraging run at Listowel last month when only beaten half a length but disappointing at Punchestown last week; not ruled out given her propensity to go well at this venue. |
7/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |
10st 13lb |
Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help. |

10st 13lb |
Course specialist has bagged all three wins here (two over hurdles), including 2m handicap chase in June, before chasing home Farrokh in similar contest, having fluffed the last; not so good back hurdling here on latest but has to be respected on overall record here. |
9/2 |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
12st 0lb |
Course specialist has bagged all three wins here (two over hurdles), including in this race last year off 2lb higher (good to yielding); fairly moderate form after that, but she has returned to form here over fences recently, winning a handicap chase (2m, good) and finishing second last time (2m, good); leading player. |
7/4 |

2nd 6 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Wexford specialist, winning twice over hurdles last year and off the mark chasing in C&D handicap last month, overcoming attentions of loose horse at the last in outstaying L'Amiral Fromentin by 3.75l (good); up 6lb but major player. |

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. |
