10st 8lb |
Has taken well to chasing this term, winning 2m4f Wexford beginners' and acquitted herself well in stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 Limerick mares' novice, most recently landing odds in weaker four-runner 3m1f Grade 3 novice at same track in late March, making most from halfway; those runs came in testing conditions but handles better ground; likely has more to offer. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |
10st 7lb |
Has taken well to chasing this term, winning on debut in 2m4f Wexford beginners' and acquitted herself well in much stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 mares' novice here at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); unseated early in 3m1f Leinster National on latest but major player here back against her own sex. |

Immediate impact chasing when victorious in a Wexford beginners' chase (2m4f, good to yielding); good second at Fairyhouse next time in a mares only contest (2m5f, yielding to soft); another pleasing effort upped to Grade 2 level at Limerick when third (2m7f, soft to heavy); 2m was too short for her in a Listed chase here last time (heavy); had been a fancy for the Kim Muir but comes here instead; Walsh rides another though. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 9lb |
One of eight for trainer; made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase last summer but hit and miss since, best effort when a 2.75l runner-up behind Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice in November; bounced back from two poor runs in big-field handicaps when second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice last time; big fields may not be his thing. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |
11st 0lb |
Made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice' last summer but has been hit and miss since, best effort when runner-up in a Cork Grade 3 novice; poor runs in very competitive Leopardstown handicaps last twice but drop in class makes her a leading player. |

Made all to win a Wexford beginners' in August but has been hit and miss since; runner-up in a Cork Grade 3 but was poor in the Paddy Power over 3m here last time; has to rebound. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |
10st 7lb |
Sole win came in a Punchestown 2m6f handicap hurdle over a year ago; back to form of late in finishing runner-up at same venue and in 3m5f Leopardstown handicap chase; tough task at the weights here. |

2nd 15 |
2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 4f 61y |
10st 11lb |
Sole win came in a Punchestown 2m6f handicap hurdle over a year ago; mostly disappointing in starts over fences; reverted to hurdles at Punchestown last time with a promising second; more likely to find her second victory in that sphere. |
15/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
4th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Sole win came in a 2m6f handicap here just over a year ago before a poor run in this race; mostly over fences since and largely disappointing; needs a return to best. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
11st 5lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles is yet to score from 12 runs over fences; recent form is concerning, tailed off in a Down Royal handicap chase earlier this month and sixth of eight over hurdles at Kilbeggan latest. |
9/1 |

6th 2 |
15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 6lb |
Four wins over hurdles including in this race last year off 110 (good); recent form over fences not too encouraging but she's better over timber. |
11/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Four wins over hurdles and some of her early chase runs last autumn were promising; won hurdle over this trip at Ballinrobe and likes good ground, so better expected this time. |
