11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins in small-field novice events last April-June; not beaten far when ninth of 28 in valuable Leopardstown handicap won by Favori De Champdou over Christmas (3m, yielding; wore usual cheekpieces) and seemed to be running well when falling at third-last fence in the Thyestes at Gowran (3m1f, heavy; blinkered) in January; has stamina to prove on cross-country debut but not ruled out; cheekpieces back on today. |

Smart hurdler in his early days; all three chase wins recorded in small-field events between April and June last year; failed to prosper in Grade 3 events before livelier displays at Cheltenham and when fifth behind Answer To Kayf in the Troytown; no impact in the Grade 1 Drinmore at Fairhouse; no threat from the last when ninth in the Paddy Power. |

11st 10lb |
Hit the ground running over fences with three wins in small fields (2m4f-2m7f) but now on a recovery mission after three blips, admittedly at Grade 3 level; would be a strong contender on these terms if back on song. |

11st 5lb |
Maiden hurdle winner who is 0-10 over fences; has placed form but he fell in March and his jumping lacked fluency at Wexford last time. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last year is 0-9 chasing but some good placed efforts at around 3m, early last season; halfway faller on return to track in March and now takes a marked drop in trip. |

11st 8lb |
Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last year and has run fine races in defeat over fences since; has been freshened up since last start and can be involved if ready enough. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Three-time winning hurdler, including a Grade 1, is 1-8 over the bigger obstacles; rated 140 so well clear on the figures but has failed to complete two of her last three starts and jumped poorly the last twice; talented but a risky proposition. |
9/4 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 2lb |
Flopped at Roscommon last time and earlier pulled up in Punchestown race won by Sea Music; those two races have dented her chasing profile; blinkered for the first time. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 150y |
10st 13lb |
Mare is rated 140 after six chase starts; won a mares' beginners' at Fairyhouse in February (2m5f, sft-hvy); good third in listed handicap chase at that venue on penultimate (2m5f, soft); pulled up at Punchestown latest; looks the main threat to Pied Piper and gets plenty of weight from him but may need softer ground. |
