11st 10lb |
Won a Punchestown handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) in October off 87; decent third on handicap chase debut at Punchestown in June (3m1f, good to yielding), outstayed late on; brought down at the sixth back over hurdles at Bellewstown earlier this month; chance if none the worse eight days later. |

Won Punchestown handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) in October off 87; okay chase bow at Downpatrick before first try at the trip when third over fences at that venue four weeks ago (3m1f, good to yielding; 4-1 favourite), outstayed late on; contender back hurdling. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Showed a good attitude to gain third success over hurdles when holding off Morell River by a neck at Punchestown (23.5f, gd) eight days ago; not an obvious type to follow up but he was 13lb out of the handicap that day so is effectively just 2lb higher here; chance of following up. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Has achieved his best form at this venue, namely when twice second (in a maiden and a handicap) in the first half of 2025; moderate form last summer; always behind at Down Royal on return from a break; appears to be the trainer's second string. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |
11st 13lb |
One of two for yard; some fair efforts in defeat last year but pulled up on heavy ground when last seen in November at Fairyhouse; these conditions more suitable, capable off this mark and not dismissed dropped in grade. |

Verdict
Given normal progress from her stable debut at Bellewstown, WHISKEY SERENADE has good prospects of a breakthrough win. Likely dangers are Pourquoi Pas and Granlahan, who have a similar profile in respect of recent form that includes placings and a failure to complete the course. The veteran Smackwater Jack retains plenty of ability. [Alan Sweetman]
