11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 208y |
11st 6lb |
Came good in emphatic style when running out an 8l winner over C&D in July; raised 11lb, again won emphatically at Roscommon (3m, yielding to soft) under a cool Philip Enright ride; 7lb claimer offsets some of the further 11lb rise; entitled to go well again against her own sex. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 210y |

Fair placed form in points last season, though not progressive; hinted at winning potential with a staying-on sixth behind today's rival Sallap at Limerick early last month; came good in emphatic style when running out an 8l winner from Smackwater Jack (second reserve) at Ballinrobe two weeks ago; raised 11lb, may remain competitive. |

Third reserve; won twice in 2024, including over C&D (soft); seemed to be heading back to form when third at Listowel in June; dropped away tamely when one of the main fancies in a C&D handicap last month. |

8th 3 |
6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Dual hurdles winner in 2024, the second of them coming over this C&D (soft); has improved with each of her three runs this year and was a 6.5l third of ten at Listowel last time (3m, good to yielding); didn't travel with much verve that day but her mark is falling. |

Won two 3m hurdles in 2024; some fine runs in defeat last year, but was poor on chase debut making her return at Limerick; some improvement back over hurdles at Bellewstown last time, but improvement required. |

Back-to-back wins at Limerick and Kilbeggan (3m1f) in early July and maybe soft ground was to blame when fourth at Roscommon; visor swapped for blinkers. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 210y |

Had plenty to spare when scoring a breakthrough win over an extended 2m6f at Limerick; a wind operation seems to have done the trick, and she was able to defy a 9lb rise when scoring readily at Kilbeggan; has gone up by the same amount again, fair prospects of completing a hat-trick. |

Point winner was second in decent 2m3f Navan maiden in September, where he split horses now rated 125 and 119; after nearly 10 months off, was unfancied when keeping on steadily over 3m at Roscommon (stable won it with shorter-priced runner). |

Veteran was in good form earlier in summer, winning over 3m at Punchestown and good runs twice after including here; might have found the ground too soft last time; this can suit better but trip might be too sharp. |

Enjoyed a purple patch last summer, winning three handicap hurdles on the bounce at 2m5f-2m7f on good ground; generally struggled since and his latest two runs have been fairly dismal; returns to chasing for the first time since 2024, when he didn't set things alight in three beginners'. |

Completed a hat-trick of handicap hurdle wins during a short time frame last August; went up an aggregate 23lb for victories at Wexford, Ballinrobe and Tramore; has tended to struggle since then; fair fourth at Bellewstown early last month, out of the money at Downpatrick and last week at Galway. |
