10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 3lb |
Decent performer at a modest enough level, three hurdle wins and twice successful over fences off lower marks this term in Limerick handicaps, most recently last month when patiently-ridden to lead two out for ready 11l win (2m4f, soft); up 9lb but remains 10lb lower than hurdles so remains very much of interest. |

No closer than 20l in five defeats over fences and was pulled up back hurdling last time; testing ground was no excuse as he enjoys the mud. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |

C&D winner off 94 in December 2024; enjoys the mud; jumping issues evident in five poor chase attempts this season; needs to do better but a return to hurdling should help. |

11st 6lb |
Has been mostly chasing in the last year, winning a Kilbeggan beginners' over 2m5f; mightn't have lasted 3m2f last time and this trip back off a lower hurdles mark can suit; chance. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |

Beginners' chase winner last year for Declan Queally but hasn't been as good since for different yards; has to return to best on second start for this stable; better ground a help. |

10st 7lb |
Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 24y |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |

One win from 20 starts over hurdles; that win came over 2m4f at Punchestown on heavy ground in February last year off 78; good effort when third of 24 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day (2m4f, yielding) but way below that level at Navan; a little hard to trust. |

In good form; runner up here over 21.5f (soft); breakthrough win on latest at Kilbeggan (2m3f, gd-yld), making all to score decisively by 8l; raised 8lb but should make another bold bid; big player. |

Couple of placed efforts in November-December before going with no enthusiasm and being pulled up at Clonmel and Down Royal in opening 2026 runs; back on track with a 6l second at Limerick last time (2m6f, soft); needs to back it up and this is harder. |

Won for the third time at Naas in April off 81 (3m, gd-yld); decent run off revised mark at Cork without looking like winning; similar effort in handicap chase at Wexford latest; has won off this rating on testing ground so rain may enhance his chance. |
