| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 5th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y | 11st 5lb | Punchestown maiden winner at slightly shorter (heavy); another for whom things didn't go her way in Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novice at Cheltenham but yard look the have stronger contenders here. | 28/1 |
| 11th 4 | 12th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 | 11st 4lb | Held by Bambino Fever on bumper form but she has raised her game in maiden hurdles at Punchestown (heavy; won a bumper on good), finishing second to a good horse before accounting for a subsequent Leopardstown maiden winner with the pair in isolation; she'll need to unearth something from somewhere to threaten at this loftier level. | 80/1 |
| 1st 2 | 26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 0y | 11st 7lb | Unseated in sole point; beat La Conquiere on Rules debut in a bumper, and that rival is now rated 133 following dual wins in Britain and runner-up in Grade 2; slightly underwhelming bumper form after that, but positives to take from her hurdling debut here (2m, heavy) when 1.5l behind stablemate Espresso Milan, who followed up at Thurles next time; leading chance. | 8/11F |
| 2nd 5 | 11th Dec 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 12y | 11st 5lb | E170,000 purchase after unseating when holding every chance in her sole point-to-point outing; well-backed when making a winning rules' debut in a mares' bumper at Thurles almost a year ago; unplaced in Grade 2 DRF bumper before ending the season with a creditable third at Naas; helps to give Willie Mullins a strong hand here. | 100/30 |
