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. |

9st 12lb |
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. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
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. |

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. |

8th Oct 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 180y |

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. |
