1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Enjoyed a standout season, highlighted by landing Grade 3 honours at Naas in January (2m, heavy); has been found out upped to Grade 1 level twice this term, 19l behind Lossiemouth in the Morgiana Hurdle (16.5f, soft to heavy) and no chance when unseated at the last in the Hatton's Grace (2m4f, yielding to soft); below his best in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last time; hard to see him being involved. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Better than ever this season and has contested two Grade 1s; appreciated the drop in class when making all in a Grade 3 at Naas (2m, heavy) and this 7yo is a good bet to give his running (stays this far); very sound jumper. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 190y |

Better than ever this season, winning over 2m3f at Punchestown and has run well in defeat since chasing home clear-cut winners at same venue in both Grade 1 Morgiana Hurdle and when over 8l off front-running Fabiolo on New Year's Eve (2m3f); seems sure to run another solid race (running in colours of Limestone Lad). |

Useful mare; went a bit high in the ratings after winning at Downpatrick last June; now back on a mark only one pound higher and holds a big chance in this company on the strength of her third placing in a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown festival. |

Added a second hurdling win at Downpatrick last June off 2lb lower (2m3f, yielding to soft), but recent runs had gotten progressively worse until return to form of sorts at Bellewstown last month when an 8.5l third (2m1f, yielding). |

Progressive novice; built on Limerick second when winning a 2m5f Roscommon contest; stepped up again when scoring over a near-3m trip at Killarney; completed hat-trick on handicap debut in a 2m4f Gowran event at the beginning of the month; return to longer trip should play to his strength. |

12st 0lb |
Won twice over hurdles, including here (2m, good to firm; from 9lb lower) in June 2024; hasn't really taken to fences (0-3), only fourth of six at Ayr (2m, soft) three months ago; this return to hurdles could reignite a spark, but it's likely he's a few pounds too high in the handicap. |
