11st 3lb |
Rapidly improving mare is seeking a six-timer, notable wins being 2m7f Grade 3 Limerick mares' novice and early this month in 2m4f Fairyhouse Grade 1 mares' novice, leading last; all wins have been on soft/heavy but gives the impression she'll handle this better ground and could have more to offer at this longer trip. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Rapidly improving mare is seeking a five-timer following four heavy-ground wins, most recently outstaying How's Hannah over 2m7f in Grade 3 Shannon Spray Novices' at Limerick last month; equally effective at 2m4f and 3lb better off with that rival here; major chance. |

10st 12lb |
Progressive mare seeking a four-timer following three heavy-ground wins at 2m3f/2m4f, most recently readily landing odds in Navan mares' Listed last month (Ill Raise A Glass third, beaten nearly 11l); bypasses the Albert Bartlett for this; every chance of staying this longer trip and major player. |

Dual point-to-point winner and off the mark over hurdles in 2m4f Clonmel mares' maiden in October; better form in novice events since, latest when third in 2m3f Grade 3 Fairyhouse contest last month on heavy; lots to find in this deeper race. |

Dual point-to-point winner and off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt in a Clonmel mares' maiden (2m4f, yielding) in October; better form in novice events since, latest when third in Punchestown Listed mares; lots more needed here though does go on heavy. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 170y |
10st 9lb |
Point-to-point winner; promise in bumpers and off the mark in 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle (soft) in January; out of depth both starts since in good-class contests won by Zanoosh and makes handicap debut now; rider's claim a positive. |

Point-to-point winner; promise in bumpers and off the mark in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle (soft) in January; subsequent Navan mares Listed fifth to Zanoosh exposed her limitations; cheekpieces now tried. |

Point-to-point winner; promise in bumpers and off the mark in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle (soft) 24 days ago; handed an official rating of 116 for that success; will need to improve again to follow up in this higher grade but she's well-bred and there could be more to come. |

Bumper winner got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in 2m4f maiden here in January (soft-to-heavy); two runs since in much better company suggest she'll struggle again here. |

Bumper winner got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in 2m4f Punchestown maiden (soft-to-heavy); subsequent Navan mares Listed third (beaten 11l) to Zanoosh was better form but hard to see her reversing that form on just 3lb better terms. |

Bumper winner got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in a mares' maiden at Punchestown (19.5f, sft-hvy) last month (Poetsia 5l behind in second); the runner up lacked a recent outing and did plenty wrong so may not be as much between them this time. |

Point winner; off the mark hurdling in 2m4f Limerick maiden on heavy at Christmas (second has won since) and much better form when only conceding late in 2m7f Grade 3 Gowran novice last month on similar ground, clear of the remainder; progressing well, no questions re trip and going; big player. |

Finally off the mark at the eighth attempt in an ordinary Ayr maiden hurdle (2m, soft) in January; no match for Zanoosh in Navan Listed since and plenty to find. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Finally off the mark at the eighth attempt in an ordinary Ayr maiden hurdle (2m, soft) 10 days ago; that will have boosted her confidence and she would be a fitting winner of the race named after her dam but looks up against it on the balance of her Irish form. |
8/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
First foal of multiple Grade 1 winner Apple's Jade; 0-7 but she's shown enough ability, most recently when 12l fifth of 17 in maiden hurdle at Clonmel (2m1f, heavy), to suggest she can have a big say in today's company for her top Irish trainer. |
