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. |

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. |

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. |

Last year's winner took well to fences this season, finishing second in Limerick Grade 2 over Christmas before going one better in similar company at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January; right at her best back hurdling in Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham when a clear staying-on second to Wodhooh (beaten 1l) having allowed winner first run (good); cheekpieces now fitted for the rematch. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
5-7 over hurdles; second to stablemate Lossiemouth in this last year before a Grade 1 win at the Punchestown festival, her second success at the top level; has taken well to fences this winter, finishing second in Limerick Grade 2 over Christmas before going one better in similar company at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January; most consistent and looks sure to go well back hurdling. |

10st 12lb |
5-7 over hurdles; second to stablemate Lossiemouth at Cheltenham last March before Grade 1 win at the Punchestown festival, her second success at top level; jumped untidily at times and more broadly disappointing on chase debut at Cork; showed sufficient improvement when second at Limerick to suggest she can beat the winner's stablemate Tareze. |

Has won 10 of her 11 hurdle starts, including this term in Grade 2 Ascot Hurdle, Grade 3 mares' contest at Leopardstown over Christmas and 2m5f Grade 1 Close Brothers Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham, getting first run on Jade De Grugy going to the last when beating that rival 1l (good); first run here since winning as a 3yo and deserved favourite but could be pushed very close by Jade De Grugy. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Has won nine of her ten hurdle starts (including last year's Martin Pipe over C&D), with her only defeat coming at the hands of Lossiemouth in the Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle (2m4f, good to soft) last spring; has looked every bit as good when landing Grade 2 Ascot Hurdle (2m3f, good to soft) and a 2m4f Grade 3 at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting (gave weight and beat Feet Of A Dancer just over 2l) this season; will be hard to beat. |

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. |

10st 9lb |
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. |

10st 9lb |
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. |
