11st 9lb |
Has done most of her racing over fences since a creditable fifth behind Thanksforthehelp in this race last season; led at the last then, faded in the closing stages; chase form disappointing since Listowel festival win. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 146y |
11st 0lb |
Won a Tramore novice before finishing 6l in front of Speculatrix at Listowel and better off at the weights with that rival; however, arrives on the back of a poor run at Punchestown last week. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 75y |
10st 8lb |
Plenty of chasing experience; off the mark at the seventh attempt in a four-runner at Tramore in August; another solid run when runner-up at Listowel; officially rated 8lb inferior to Birdie Or Bust who has to concede only 4lb |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Grade 2 juvenile hurdle winner in 2022 won first race since in a four-runner Tramore novice chase (15.5f, good) last month, jumping well; handles most ground, steps back up in trip and could be the one to benefit if Zenta fluffs her lines. |

10st 7lb |
Point-to-point winner won Clonmel maiden hurdle last year and some decent efforts in defeat in graded races; 0-5 chasing but decent placings including here in November and last month at Limerick when only weakening late in finishing third in 2m4f handicap; cheekpieces now added. |

Point-to-point winner won Clonmel maiden hurdle last year and some decent efforts in defeat in graded races after; 0-4 chasing but decent placings including here in October; didn't seem to stay 3m at Christmas and back in trip here. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 50y |

Second runner for yard; point winner took a Clonmel maiden hurdle on rules debut last year and some decent efforts in defeat in graded races after; posted a solid chasing debut at Listowel last time after an absence and can go well with improvement. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Has won two of her four chases and quite readily floored the odds-on favourite in a Listed novice at Chepstow three weeks ago (2m3f, good to firm; handles good but softer has looked troublesome); has something to find at these weights but with no fitness issues she's respected. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 0lb |
3-7 over hurdles but not the same level a chaser after eight attempts, okay run in 2m5f Cheltenham mares handicap in December, most recently chased home a ready 9l winner in similar Navan contest in February; 3lb wrong here so improvement needed. |

3-7 over hurdles but not much to show for seven runs over fences; pulled up in a novice chase at Fairyhouse last time (2m5f, yielding); tongue tie is applied now but Sophia Rose looks like the stable's main hope. |

11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Recorded a third hurdles win off a career low mark at Thurles in October (2m4f, good to yielding), beating Tir Og by a neck; decent enough sixth on Flat at Gowran back from a break last month, considering she stumbled at the start; she will have easier opportunities than this. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Three-time winning hurdler, including a Grade 1, is 1-8 over the bigger obstacles; rated 140 so well clear on the figures but has failed to complete two of her last three starts and jumped poorly the last twice; talented but a risky proposition. |
9/4 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Flopped at Roscommon last time and earlier pulled up in Punchestown race won by Sea Music; those two races have dented her chasing profile; blinkered for the first time. |

3rd 4 |
9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 150y |
10st 13lb |
Mare is rated 140 after six chase starts; won a mares' beginners' at Fairyhouse in February (2m5f, sft-hvy); good third in listed handicap chase at that venue on penultimate (2m5f, soft); pulled up at Punchestown latest; looks the main threat to Pied Piper and gets plenty of weight from him but may need softer ground. |
