11st 2lb |
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. |

Has improved since sent chasing; built on Limerick second when winning a 2m5f Roscommon contest; stepped up again when scoring at Killarney six weeks ago; down in trip but has a fair chance of completing a hat-trick. |

Maiden over hurdles but got off the mark in a 2m5f Roscommon beginners' chase last time, second chase start; needs more in this company but is improving and can't be taken too lightly. |

10st 5lb |
Made winning return in 2m5f Cork handicap in November (yielding) and given winter off until not looking to stay 3m6f in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March; interesting contender back in trip here with ground to suit. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after scoring over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (good) in May and moving nearly 7l clear on the run-in over 2m5f at Cork (yielding) in November; the latter is easily his best form but his chase career began with a strong finish over an extended 3m1f last March, which sparks interest for this test. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of maiden hurdle at Navan (2m4f, heavy); some creditable handicap efforts in that sphere; 120-rated hurdler was an eyecatching second on chase debut at Wexford (25.5f, good to yielding) on latest; considered. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner was in good form over fences last summer, winning twice; has won after a break before, so she's in the mix on return. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 80y |

Dual hurdle winner has shown improved form chasing lately, winning handicaps at Tipperary and Market Rasen over approx 3m; needs to find more on these terms. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Under pressure a good way out but outstayed her rivals over 2m7f at Tipperary (yielding) on handicap debut over fences; that was on a par with the best of her hurdle form and she rates a likely contender. |

Better chaser than hurdler; couple of wins over 2m6f last summer, but much stiffer task here after a layoff and O'Keeffe prefers yard's other runner. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 146y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdle winner but this winning pointer was always likely to do better over fences and she jumped well when winning a beginners' for mares at Tramore (2m6f, good); useful RPR suggests this mark will be fine. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 160y |
11st 5lb |
Gained compensation for two narrow defeats when landing Thurles maiden hurdle in November (2m7f, good) against her own sex; that form has worked out well; below best in novice there when last seen but strikes as the type who will flourish over fences now. |
