23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 135y |
11st 6lb |
Generally dependable this year, including when second in a Flat handicap at Limerick in June; has won two of her last four hurdle starts; could go well despite 7lb rise for Kilbeggan success. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Three decent runs since winning over C&D (gd-yld) in April off 8lb lower, two over hurdles and when second on the Flat at Limerick; ground may have been a bit lively back over hurdles at Ballinrobe latest; return to this C&D a plus, as is the forecast rain; chance. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |
10st 1lb |
Took a long time to win a race over hurdles but has been in fine form in recent months; deserved her breakthrough win at Kilbeggan; suffered interference when chasing home an easy winner at Limerick; transferred her form to the Flat when second at 25-1 in a 1m4f contest at the same venue; good chance off a light weight. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 40y |
11st 2lb |
Enjoyed a good summer with two wins and probably her best effort when narrowly denied in cheekpieces at Kilbeggan last month; another 3lb means a total rise of 16lb but she goes on any ground and is keeping her form well. |
7/1 |

Went up 13lb for winning back-to-back at Limerick in May and at Sligo the following month; held off revised mark the last twice at Sligo and Wexford; new cheekpieces need to eke out more. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |

Landed back-to-back successes over thid trip at Limerick and Sligo before anchored by weight increase at Sligo last month; early to write off and the trainer has decided to claim off her here. |

One win from 32 starts tells its own story but rarely runs a bad race; solid third in a 2m3f mares' handicap at Kilbeggan last time and every chance of being thereabouts again. |

Irish-trained mare; placed in two big fields in August (2m2f/2m4f, good) and posted another good effort when close seventh of 16 at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding; refitted cheekpieces) three weeks ago; has Sean Bowen booked for first attempt at this new trip; likely contender. |

Dual hurdles winner for James Nash, the latest in April last year at Down Royal (2m4f, good) off 2lb higher; signed off with a moderate effort in a Clonmel claiming hurdle for his former stable in May; stable debut for new yard on Flat at Bellewstown was nothing to shout about either. |
