10st 13lb |
Wexford bumper winner (soft) is 0-4 hurdling, standout run when second in 2m6f Thurles maiden; well below that level in 3m Grade 3 Cork novice latest and stamina concerns now. |

Three point wins; has shown some ability over hurdles and was only 9.5l behind in a Cork 3m handicap last time having been hampered; can do better and considered. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
10st 8lb |
Three-time point-to-point winner ran respectably in two of her three maiden hurdles but 33-1 and pulled up on handicap hurdle debut at Fairyhouse (3m2f, yielding) on New Year's Day; off since and 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 11y |
11st 7lb |
Won a point but failed to get that competitive in her three bumpers, albeit the first was a Grade 2; returns from a long absence but top connections have kept the faith and this race has no depth to it. |

Tailed off in a strong Fairyhouse bumper on debut in April; she can get closer at this level; place chance. |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Closely related to French 15.5f winner Toto Demonmirail, half-sister to French 1m7f hurdle winner Out Of Risk; dam French 10.7f/11.5f winner, sister to a Listed chase winner; the only mare in this field and would need to see some market confidence. |

Rated 88 after 10 runs over hurdles; pulled up the last thrice and a leap of faith required to back her here. |

Best of nine hurdle runs was a second at Ballinrobe (good) over 2m6f last August; questions to answer now after being pulled up in her last two runs. |

11st 7lb |
Point-to-point winner ran her best race under rules on debut at Clonmel (2m4f, yielding) when a 15.5l seventh; below that in two subsequent runs; top-rated and big player for local yard. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |

Point winner and form has worked out with runner-up bolting up in a bumper in the interim; market should be a good guide on rules debut on back of five months off. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
11st 7lb |
Second-season hurdler has twice landed odds in ordinary company this term and has progressed well in Graded company, notably third in Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novice at Cheltenham and most recently Grade 1 Honeysuckle Mares' Novice at Fairyhouse when second to Zanoosh under a positive ride; meets two superior rivals here however so seems booked for third. |
12/1 |

2nd 10 |
5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Second-season hurdler won 2m maiden here in January before chasing home 9l winner Oldschool Outlaw in 2m3f Grade 3 mares' novice; got a lot closer to that rival in Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novice at Cheltenham, only losing second on run-in to that rival; not sure this longer trip will play to her strengths but respected. |
11/2 |

3rd 16 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Cracking effort for a maiden to finish fifth in last season's Triumph; won her first two this campaign, though was long odds-on for both (2m6f/2m) and she couldn't hold a candle to Oldschool Outlaw when returned to Graded company at Fairyhouse (2m2f); it takes some imagination to envisage her reversing those placings. |
