Best effort at two when a close fourth in a 6f Naas maiden; flopped in a Dundalk nursery, leaving her with a question to answer on reappearance. |

Best effort yet when a close fourth in a Naas maiden last month just a neck behind You'll Think Of Me and shaped like she would relish this longer trip; form working out and is a major player for a yard that excel with their juveniles. |

9st 2lb |
Made her debut in a 28-runner maiden at the Curragh; her showing was much better than implied by her finishing position in tenth, since she was second in her group of 11; again indicated ability when a staying-on sixth behind a well-fancied stablemate over C&D on her second start. |

9st 8lb |
Failed to win in four runs for Donnacha O'Brien in Ireland but she showed progressive form for him and made a winning debut for new yard in five-runner novice at Kempton (6f, AW) in December; the latter was at 1-3, admittedly, but she stays 7f and goes on the shortlist. |

Improved from debut to finish runner-up in a 6f Naas maiden and finished a neck in front of Quinta Girl over the same C&D last month; that form is working out and ought to go well if she finds any improvement for an extra furlong. |

500,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 7f Group 3 winner at three for Aidan O'Brien; looked raw when unplaced favourite at the Curragh; was slightly impeded before weakening late; went very close over C&D on her second start and looks almost certain to be in the mix. |

9st 0lb |
One of two for yard; maiden didn't run badly in a 6f maiden here on penultimate; a bit short of room when beaten 2.75l off 73 on handicap debut over C&D when last seen in October; not discounted in first-time cheekpieces. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Improved from debut when a 2l third in a Fairyhouse maiden and bounced back from a lesser run when fourth in a 6f maiden here last month; mixed signals on strength of that form but should appreciate an extra furlong. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Sent off favourite when down the field in a Leopardstown maiden (7f, soft) on debut but showed more when third in a 6f Fairyhouse maiden; Ballyhane run can be forgiven (drawn wrong side) and remains with potential. |

Some promise in a couple of his maiden starts and left a low-key handicap debut behind to win a Down Royal handicap over this trip last month; however, form knocked since and he'll need more from 10lb higher. |

9st 4lb |
Narrowly denied on second start in a 7.5f Roscommon maiden (good) in August; no show in Goffs million over this C&D (soft) but off the mark on handicap debut at Dundalk (7f) in October; will strip fitter for comeback run back there in March when beaten 1.5l off revised mark; tongue-tie on. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Went close in Roscommon maiden last summer and off the mark final start on AW/handicap debut over C&D in October, coming home well when holding two stablemates in tight finish; 5lb higher now but type to keep progressing (will want 1m in time) and likely big player (yard had a winner here last week). |

Respectable run in Leopardstown maiden on debut but regressed next two outings; finished midfield on nursery debut here over 7f last week; first try at 5f; blinkered. |

9st 9lb |
Well exposed before Ballinrobe maiden win last month (1m1f) and faded tamely after forcing much of pace back in handicap company at the Curragh when racing from 7lb out of the handicap; drops in grade but remains vulnerable to improvers. |

Retains her existing mark after a Roscommon maiden win gained on her tenth outing; 7lb out of the handicap, that disadvantage somewhat offset by the rider's useful claim; vulnerable on overall form. |

0-9 on turf; placed twice last year, in a Roscommon maiden (7.5f, yielding) and a Sligo handicap off 68 (6f, gd-yld); yet to race at beyond a mile; beaten 5l off 67 in Limerick handicap latest; cheekpieces need to eke out more. |

Best run came when beaten 6l in a 6f maiden here last month; didn't get the clearest of runs when favourite on last week's handicap debut; extra furlong will probably help but widest draw won't. |

One of two for yard; not much to recommend in maidens at 6f-1m but yard's runners always merit respect on their handicap debuts and he's preferred by McMonagle; check the market. |
