Raised her game markedly last season over hurdles, winning three times to earn a mark of 118; trip/ground ideal for this first crack at chasing. |

Much improved handicapper of late, notching up a hat-trick of wins at Cork, Kilbeggan and Listowel; well held when below her best in Grade 3 novice latest and again faces stiff task here but place claims. |

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. |

Long-standing maiden until joining yard last summer and then went back-to-back at Wexford in July/August; well beaten at the festival here on next start and has struggled since; better ground will help and she's 1lb lower than last winning mark. |

Back-to-back winner of modest handicap hurdles at Wexford last summer; lost form in the autumn and ran poorly at Limerick four weeks ago on his first run after a winter break; better ground could make a big difference now; only 2lb above his last winning mark. |

11st 6lb |
Modest point-to-point form from three starts; narrow winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle in August and ran respectably on chasing debut at Killarney in October; unseen since tailed off here later that month; in the mix if at her best. |
