11st 7lb |
Fair on the Flat when based in Ireland but unplaced all five hurdling starts there; made low-key stable debut (on the Flat) last month and has quite a bit more to prove than some of these. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Dual-purpose; 1-9 on turf on the Flat; won on the AW (1m4f) off 4lb lower in January and has generally held form well since; hasn't won on turf since 2023, however, and others make more appeal. |
12/1 |

Winner on turf and over hurdles; has developed into a capable AW performer, notching three wins and four seconds from eight runs here; no match for Beauparc last week, not guaranteed to avenge that loss despite altered terms |

Never competitive on the AW last time and runs Dundalk well, but won over Tipperary's 1m4f the run before; can cope with this 5lb higher mark, won't mind rain and his jockey has won the last two renewals of this. |

Won Ballinrobe claimer at around this trip on good ground for John O'Donoghue; runner-up when upped in trip to an extended 1m4f at Thurles on second start for this stable; finished the season with second over 2m at Dundalk; an unknown quantity on this ground; handicap mark seems fair. |

Dual winner in Poland at 9.5f/1m4f; long absence before two runs for this yard, finishing third when favourite at Tipperary (1m4f, yielding) and reportedly unsuited by heavy ground when tailed off at Listowel; premature to write off, tongue-tie added. |

Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |
