26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
10st 0lb |
Has been running well on the Flat; fair hurdles record but 13lb out of the handicap here; tough task in the circumstances, though rider's 5lb allowance will help. |

9st 13lb |
Locally-owned mare took a long time to come to hand but thrived under both codes last year, recording four wins including this race and a handicap hurdle here in October; promising run at Navan lately and headgear worn for latest Flat win is back on; crack apprentice on board too, so loads to like. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

Won four races last year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat, including her last start in this sphere at Galway in October; late-season form also included a Bellewstown second, splitting two of these rivals Idomything and Bhean Sainbhre; needs to reverse the form of seasonal debut at Navan with Bhean Saibhre |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 34y |
11st 12lb |
Showed good stamina on soft ground when winning a 23-runner handicap over 1m6f at Navan last October; not a bad run when fifth under a penalty at Galway five days later; rated a modest 60 on the Flat; faces a tough introduction to hurdling. |

Ran well on seasonal return on soft ground at Killarney in July; well below that level on next two starts; got up close home to win over 1m6f at Navan last week; bold bid likely under 7lb penalty but may struggle to confirm form with third-placed God The Highness. |
