Three bumper runs for Harry Kelly, the first in late-2022 when tailed off; showed huge improvement when making a short-priced Willie Mullins-trained favourite work hard at Ballinrobe in July 2023; confirmed ability with second at Sligo the following month (Mullins favourite in third); absent since, and now trained by Mullins.
Noteworthy as a half-sister to the talented Thunder Rock (winner of nine races); hooded now after a 2m4f maiden hurdle attempt at this venue, jumping was untidy, finished down the field.
Solid efforts in first two bumpers, though beaten 8 1/2l in second at Limerick and 9 3/4l third at Roscommon; out of the money but not beaten as far when fifth at Wexford in August; needs to find extra.
Placed in two of her bumper starts; second to a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot at Punchestown in October; beaten 3l in third when odds-on for Naas event won by Carrigmoornaspruce who franked the form at Leopardstown; back to bumper company after a respectable fifth in a decent maiden hurdle at Naas.
Fourth foal; half-sister to 2m7f hurdle winner Jack The Farmer; unraced dam out of half-sister to high-class bumper and 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Micko's Dream
Closely related to Copper Nation who won a bumper and a maiden hurdle for this yard; from a line that has served the Coffey family well; missed three bumper engagements last year owing to a variety of ailments after showing promise with a point-to-point win at Curraghmore last April.
Placed in three of her five starts in bumpers; best effort when third of seven behind the useful Familiar Dreams in a Listed mares' contest at Fairyhouse last March; something amiss when pulled up in a mares' maiden hurdle here five weeks ago; not without a chance if restored to form.
Seventh foal; sister to bumper winner Meadowsweet; dam 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to bumper/jumps winner Emcon; in good hands with Declan Queally who won a Leopardstown bumper at Christmas with a promising filly.
Ran her best race so far when third at Limerick after Christmas; however, could not be guaranteed to uphold form with fourth-placed Ufouria who was having her first race after a year-long absence.
Unseated at the first in a point at Borris House at the beginning of December; made a satisfactory bumper debut when finishing in mid-field at Thurles; a lot more needed.
Ran into the very useful Only By Night (now a Grade 2 winner over fences) in a bumper at Limerick 15 months ago on debut; lost a shoe in a Punchestown bumper on her only other start last season; ran out of steam at Limerick last month, fading into fourth; may have needed the run after a 12-month layoff and may turn the tables on So Far Away.
Flat-bred mare with an Aga Khan pedigree; dam won over 1m4f, has produced winners in Poland; fell three out in a point at Boulta in November; this test may be more to her taste.
