15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 10lb |
Dual Flat winner gained both of his hurdle wins consecutively on better ground at this track last season, including in this race; just 3lb above winning mark and his seasonal return here (2m1f, good to yielding) when an 11l third was encouraging. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Won this race last year and followed up in May; course form is an important asset, so worth considering despite having finished out of the money on his final two starts in 2025; 10lb higher now than when winning snugly 12 months ago on similar ground. |

10st 0lb |
Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in April for Noel Meade and some decent runs in defeat since; can be forgiven a poor Flat run on testing ground at Gowran five days ago but still needs more; 5lb out of the handicap. |

Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in April and runner-up in a Kilbeggan handicap was his best run since; well beaten in Flat return in a claimer around here last month (1m, good); cheekpieces on now but others preferred. |

Tramore maiden hurdle winner in April has run well in defeat in handicaps in that sphere since; was also third in a Roscommon Flat maiden over 1m4f in July; this trip will suit better and he can run well. |

Placed in three of his four bumper starts; won a 2m Tramore maiden hurdle in April; third in a Kilbeggan handicap following month; kept ticking over with a solid third in a Flat maiden at Roscommon; reverts to hurdling with a definite chance. |

Dual-purpose sort got off the mark over hurdles at Cork in March (2m) but has been unplaced since then and needs a major return to form. |

Fair on the Flat when based in Ireland but unplaced all five hurdling starts there; made low-key stable debut (on the Flat) last month and has quite a bit more to prove than some of these. |

Midfield finishes in three maiden hurdle starts against quality winners; returned from a break when eighth of 13 on handicap debut two weeks ago; conditional rider now takes 7lb off his back and he may be capable of improving enough to be on the premises in an ordinary maiden. |

Is 3-30 over hurdles with his most recent win coming at Ballinrobe in July off a mark of 96 (2m1f, good); beaten a long way off a 4lb higher mark back at that track last time (2m, good); could bounce back here. |

Ex-Irish 7yo who is 2-3 for new stable, the wins in Class 5 handicaps at Lingfield (2m3f) and Leicester (2m4f) in December; now 7lb higher and upped in grade but may well improve further; helps to give Ben Pauling a robust hand. |
