24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Sole win on Flat came in 2023, although has mostly been competing over hurdles in recent times; improved markedly over poor Navan return when fourth at Roscommon last time (1m4f, good), staying on after being slowly away; down to a career low mark. |

Dual-purpose; best recent form has come over hurdles; no win on Flat since 2023; down the field at Navan latest; hard to fancy. |

Hurdle/chase winner for Gavin Cromwell before losing his way; some signs of a revival when fourth at Downpatrick (2m3f) and he's slipped to a handy mark. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Won twice over hurdles and once over fences for Gavin Cromwell before losing his form last year; has continued his regression for this yard and is hard to fancy on his poor Kilbeggan comeback run. |

Second runner for yard; sole win came over fences at 2m4f here last year; mostly poor since including beaten a long way the last twice so major questions. |

Beaten 8l into third at Clonmel four starts ago (2m5f, good to yielding) but now has to bounce back after non-completions over fences and hurdles; has the most to prove of these. |

Course specialist has won six chases in total, four of them here at 2m4f-2m7f on yielding to soft and good ground; runner up in this last season off 140 and same mark here; chance once a fall over the banks at Punchestown hasn't dented his confidence. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
10st 0lb |
21-race maiden has generally middling form but strung two good performances together towards the backend of last year when a 1l third here (2m4f, yielding) and a 3l third at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding); well beaten in four starts this year but perhaps return to this track can bring out her best; previously worn tongue-tie now left off. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Posted two solid efforts at Gowran (2m4f, yielding) and Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) at the backend of last year; 3m may have been too far on latest; lacks a run but has gone well fresh and could outrun likely odds. |
