1st Jun 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 32y |
11st 10lb |
Won a 2m6f Downpatrick maiden easily in March; keen and hung right when beaten 9.5l in Class 2 novice at Cheltenham on latest; top rated here at 129 and the return to a right-handed track a plus; stamina in pedigree so should stay this far; yard has won the last two renewals; leading claims. |

Got off the mark at Wexford last time over this trip on good ground; faces a tougher task off 8lb higher in this stronger race but improving sort can run well again. |

Placed on three of four attempts hurdling, notably handicap debut last month at Bellewstown when upped to today's trip, finishing a clear second to a warm favourite (good); up 4lb but definite contender with likely more to offer. |

11st 5lb |
Off the mark on handicap debut at Navan early last month (2m6f, heavy); raised 8lb for that and given how well she saw out the trip, this drop back in distance doesn't look an obvious plus. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 180y |
10st 3lb |
Soundly beaten in four maiden hurdles at 2m-2m4f on yielding, soft and heavy ground; bred for this sort of trip though so she is worth a market check on handicap debut. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Best form on good ground; won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle without much fuss this time last year (2m6f, good); unseen since pulled up at Kilbeggan in June on chase debut after suffering an overreach; may need this first run back. |

All his improvement has come on good ground, last time winning a Downpatrick 2m6f maiden hurdle without much fuss; connections evidently keen to get him over fences but the weather needs monitoring. |

He can make mistakes and may be better over further, but he won two in a row last autumn (2m7f, good/good to soft) and was back on song when runner-up here (3m, good) three weeks ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since); good third here (3m, good to soft) yesterday; could be in the mix. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Completed a double with win at Kelso (3m, good to soft; 11-4) last November; wasn't fluent - has been a theme - but bounced back to form in reapplied cheekpieces when chasing home Inis Oirr over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 2lb higher with James Bowen taking over in the saddle; likely candidate. |

Modest form in trio of point-to-points and similar story in three maiden hurdles; sent off 125-1 for handicap hurdle debut and was well beaten; needs to raise his game. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Left all previous form behind when a 125-1 runner-up over 3m at Cork in April; confirmed promise when justifying favouritism in a 3m1f Tipperary maiden hurdle in May; encouraging handicap debut when close up in third at Killarney; similar effort at Galway; form of that race looks solid (second and fifth have wnn since), may confirm with Duke Silver. |

Left all previous form behind when a 125-1 runner-up at Cork behind a nice prospect and confirmed that promise when justifying favouritism in a Tipperary maiden hurdle in May; fair mark for handicap debut but hasn't shown anything in two heavy ground runs so may need the rain to stay away. |

11st 4lb |
Won a point-to-point for Colin Bowe; 9-2 but finished well beaten in a Leopardstown bumper in December on debut for Willie Mullins; with a top yard and should be capable of much better but Paul Townend prefers his stablemate. |

27th Dec 2024 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Second runner for top yard; won a point-to-point in October 2023 for Colin Bowe but that form doesn't look overly strong and stable jockey Patrick Mullins prefers his stablemate; dangerous to discount but others have better form claims. |
