17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 60y |
11st 2lb |
Six-time winner over hurdles, including this race last year when seeing off World Of Fortunes by 0.5l; that rival is 7lb better off this time around but she arrives here on the back of a Listowel handicap win (3m, good) and will make a good fist of it for her local handler. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Third in a 2m4f handicap at this meeting last year and afterwards won a Listed race (2m7f) and was second in a 3m handicap at Punchestown; could strip fitter for last month's return to action at Killarney. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Dual winner over hurdles but better over fences; won a 2m3f beginners' chase at Wexford last month before finishing a good third in a 2m5f Listed handicap chase at Killarney; improving chaser and looks capable of getting involved. |
5/1 |

3rd 12 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
10st 0lb |
Gained a third career win in a 2m3f handicap chase at Wexford two weeks ago; small penalty for that still leaves him 8lb wrong here; difficult task. |

1st 5 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time hurdles winner; extended chase record to 0-7 when a 14.5l third of 9 over C&D on debut for this yard last month but may have needed that after 208 days off and could get closer now; rated 114 and in the mix. |

Both hurdle wins came over 2m, the latest at Downpatrick in the summer of 2023; regressive since and tried at a range of trips; fell early at Gowran in February; much to prove. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
10st 1lb |
Sole win from 19 attempts came over hurdles at Punchestown in January last year (2m4f, soft); 0-9 chasing and largely struggled in chase starts last season; pulled up when last seen at Navan in March; may need this. |
20/1 |

10th Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 60y |

Sole hurdles win came at Punchestown (20.5f, soft) in January 2024 off 109; has largely struggled since; 0-9 over fences; reverts back to hurdling; capable but risky. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 200y |
11st 10lb |
In good form mostly over hurdles during winter, winning at Navan and a decent effort last time; was pulled-up on last chase start in the Cork National, though, and this trip looks on the sharp side. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Chase winner bagged his second hurdling success over C&D in December off 109 at 40-1 (2m4f, soft to heavy); decent showing at Limerick next time when seventh, but his latest Gowran run was poor (2m4f, heavy). |
10/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Chase winner over 3m2f on good ground at Down Royal in May; Kilbeggan run six days later may have come too soon for him; should be sharper as a result of recent hurdles run at Punchestown. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |

Six-time winner, 4-38 over fences; chase mark has tumbled but good third at Ballinrobe (2m4f, good) in veterans race in May and decent run over hurdles at Sligo over inadequate trip; brought down at first at Kilbeggan last time; yard won this last two years. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
11st 6lb |
Won over fences at Kilbeggan last August (3m2f, good to yielding); ran respectably next time at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft); pulled up in a handicap hurdle last time; trainer has a stronger contender in Gaelic Des Chastys. |

26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Added a chase win to his brace of hurdle successes when winning at Kilbeggan in August (3m2f, good to yielding); ran respectably next time at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft); tailed off at Killarney when last seen in October; reverts to hurdles now, and chance at his best. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 6y |

Hurdle winner at this track and opened his chase account with a neck success at Kilbeggan three weeks ago; may have won by further without an error in the closing stages and 5lb rise looks workable. |

Several decent runs in defeat in handicaps including fourth (beaten 10l) over C&D last time; down 1lb and cheekpieces on so should be involved. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Third in a Clonmel maiden over 2m and a Limerick handicap over 2m5f; poor on two starts since latter run and has to bounce back. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Nine-race maiden produced his best handicap run on penultimate start at Limerick (2m6f, good) when third of 8 off 97; didn't back that up at Cork on latest so needs to step forward to play a major role here. |

Won mares' maiden hurdle at Tipperary (2m1f, yielding) last May; handicap runs over various trips not entirely convincing but fine seventh of 20 at Cork over 2m4f off 99 three weeks ago; enters the discussion. |
