6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 1lb |
Touched off in a 3m Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (heavy) in February off 121; made amends in a mares' handicap chase at Navan (20.5f, sft-hvy) later that month, winning readily by 9l; hiked up 10lb to 122 and steps back up in trip; could be more to come. |

Middling runs in two beginners chases; moderate effort back over hurdles in December but ran a career best when beaten a head in a Listed handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival last time (3m, heavy); wore first-time cheekpieces that day, which are now left off; runs off a 10lb lower mark for handicap chase debut; big contender. |

11st 5lb |
One of three for trainer; three-time winning hurdler got off the mark over fences in some style when 10l winner of Listed mares' handicap at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yielding to soft); 8lb higher now, but big player if that win wasn't an aberration. |

3-7 over hurdles but not the same level a chaser after eight attempts, okay run in 2m5f Cheltenham mares handicap in December, most recently chased home a ready 9l winner in similar Navan contest in February; 3lb wrong here so improvement needed. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Bumper and hurdles winner for Willie Mullins in 2023-24; didn't add to her tally for Paul Kiely last year, but back to form on both recent starts for current yard in 2m handicap chases on good ground, winning at Tramore and chasing home clear winner Mic Drop off 6lb higher at Wexford; more needed to reverse that form. |

Bumper and hurdles winner for Willie Mullins in 2023-24; didn't add to her tally for Paul Kiely last year but came back to form on debut for this yard, winning a 2m Tramore handicap chase, beating Presenting Lad; up 6lb but can be a player with a repeat. |

Bumper and hurdles winner for Willie Mullins in 2023-24; failed to add tom her tally for Paul Kiely last year and off since an okay run at Navan in February; worth a market check on first run for Harry Kelly. |

Dual hurdle winner; in first-time cheekpieces when winning comfortably from the front at Wexford (2m3f, yielding) and coped with sort of mark over hurdles; respected. |

Dual hurdle winner; 0-5 chasing but mild encouragement last month over C&D when modest enough third to Connemara Shore (soft); much more needed and cheekpieces tried. |

11st 5lb |
Three seconds from eight starts over fences, and just run out of it close home in Killarney handicap seven weeks ago; mark went up 4lb to 106 after that; apparent second-string for Gavin Cromwell, but has her chance. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Outclassed in a Grade 2 at Punchestown ten days ago and two seconds over fences suggest she could be a factor back in a handicap. |
