13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Bagged back-to-back mares' handicap hurdles in January/March at Down Royal and Leopardstown at 2m1f/2m3f on soft ground; form has dipped in three runs since, including when beaten 18.5l at Galway last time (2m1f, good); cheekpieces return and the tongue tie is new; one of the top rated over hurdles for this chasing bow but needs to bring her best. |

Competitive form in 2024 and missed the following year; won two soft-ground handicaps for new yard earlier this year but she's fine on good and latest run at Bellewstown was after three months off; now visored. |

Good form for Shane Nolan in 2024; missed 2025; better again early this year for this stable, backing up Down Royal win with decisive 2m2f Leopardstown success; was 2lb wrong in a strong handicap at Fairyhouse at Easter. |

3-26 over hurdles; runner up the last twice, off 5lb lower at Leopardstown and then off 3lb lower at Cork when 1.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme; weighted to turn that around but may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts. |

Her only win was off 10lb lower but she's been running consistently well in handicaps, including a fourth of 18 at the Dublin Racing Festival; respected off her light weight. |

Glimmers of ability in maidens but yet to really fire since tackling handicaps; pulled up and beaten 22l on last two starts; step up to 3m needs to bring about improvement (dam half-sister to 3m2f winner). |

Decent mare on the Flat at up to 2m; 0-7 hurdling however, placed in maidens last winter but recent comeback run at Galway was a long way below her best; this looks a weaker maiden, though, so definite claims. |

Two Flat wins include 1m4f maiden at this meeting in 2024 (also second in 2m handicap here last year); 0-6 hurdling however, has had a break since midfield in 2m3f Leopardstown mares handicap in early March; has to be respected from a yard doing no wrong but has to improve on what we've seen so far. |

Dual Flat winner; beaten 10l in third behind the smart Ballyfad here at the Christmas meeting after a 106-day break; beaten favourite at Clonmel in January; same when ridden by Sean Bowen here at the DRF on handicap debut; needs to reverse form with Whimsy, Maxios Prime, Onefortheditch and Tequila Talkin'. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Flat winner and second over hurdles in France; out of her depth in Grade 1s at huge prices in early 2025 and regressed alarmingly in three runs last season before leaving Willie Mullins; some encouragement can be taken from her recent second at Sligo on first start for Gordon Elliott; however, this appears to be a deeper race. |

Useful Flat performer, winning three times and placing on a further nine occasions from 17 turf starts; took third at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft) and went one place better when beaten a neck at Musselburgh next time (2m, good); has often been frustrating, as shown by hurdles record 1-20; second eight times. |

Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting. |
