4th 5 |
7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
118-rated hurdler won 2m7f Thurles novice last season (yielding) and chased home a clear winner in 3m novice here last month on similar ground; left with plenty to do in first-time cheekpieces last week when staying on into a remote fourth over inadequate 2m4f at the Punchestown festival; needs to improve for switch to fences to feature in a major way. |
10/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

2nd 1 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Point winner gained first win under Rules in a Thurles novice (22.5f, yld-sft) in December; 5.5l third under a penalty back there on his next start and unseated when on the retreat on handicap debut at Down Royal on latest; 3m no problem but needs to bounce back. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |
11st 12lb |
Thurles novice winner is now 15lb higher than when third over 3m at Cork on his handicap debut; faces a tough task in the circumstances; rider's claim will help. |

3rd 4 |
18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 6f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Point-to-point winner; might have got a bit closer but for being hampered at last on handicap debut at Cork (3m); got up late for a C&D win last month; this opposition is likely to prove more challenging |
16/1 |
