9st 6lb |
Consistent enough filly; touched off in a heavy ground maiden over 1m2f for John O'Donoghue; seemed to see out longer trips quite well on her last two runs, here and at Tramore; drop back in trip not certain to suit, but certainly respected. |
8/1 |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Promise on first two runs of the season for John O'Donoghue on yielding and soft to heavy; another decent effort when a 4.25l fourth on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yld); good ground is a query, should go well if acts on it. |

Maiden's best efforts have come in Leopardstown handicaps, including when a staying-on fourth of 22 (having hung left) on penultimate start; failed to match that form at Killarney last time. |

Maiden's best efforts have come in Leopardstown handicaps, including six days ago when staying on fourth (having hung left) off today's mark; not one to rule out but others with stronger claims. |

Six career wins and undergoing a real new lease of life this season with victories in handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown; 11lb rise for those two wins is not excessive and every chance of going close once more. |

Quite lightly raced since winning this race off 68 two years ago; encouraging effort after more than nine months off in a 1m4f handicap at Tramore two weeks ago; foolish to discount. |

Showed ability in a Galway maiden last year when with Mick Mulvany; well backed into joint-favouritism for return at Fairyhouse, but didn't feature; off the bridle 3f out when okay fifth here over 10.5f (soft); had a wide trip from a bad draw when fourth over 1m3f at Naas and reckon he's on a good mark now; not bred to stay, but might. |

Didn't progress as a two-year-old last year; backed into favouritism on debut for this yard at Fairyhouse in May but couldn't make an impact; didn't fare much better up to this trip when well-held fifth at Down Royal on soft 14 days ago; probably capable of better but hard to fancy; one of two for stable. |

Maiden's best run was when third over 6f at Cork in September, when just behind Sovereign Banter; blew the start from wide draw here last week, late headway up the rail but never threatened; low draw might be more of a hindrance if she does that again. |
