12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark on seasonal return in a Curragh handicap (1m, good), making all in dominant fashion; hit hard for that with a 10lb rise and came up short in a premier handicap back at the Curragh latest (1m, good, 9-2); that run looked too bad to be true and was found to be coughing post-race; drops in trip but she's interesting if rebounding. |

Built on promise shown in maidens last year with all the way win on handicap debut and seasonal return over C&D (good) last month; handicapper took a dim view, hiking her up 10lb, and this is a much better race but she's unexposed so could be more to come. |
