11st 12lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-3 in chases and rated 95; kept on well for a 2.75l fourth of 14 in Down Royal beginners' on latest (19.5f, gd-yld); place claims again if sees out this longer trip but that's not guaranteed. |

Second runner for yard; top-rated of these over fences; third on sole point start; 1-13 over hurdles; tailed off on chase bow at Fairyhouse; improved fifth of 16 in Thurles handicap chase (2m2f, soft) in February; should be involved if the ground doesn't deteriorate. |

Lightly-raced 8yo; Fair fifth at Kilbeggan on penultimate start off the same mark; workmanlike winner of a maiden hurdle last time at Downpatrick (2m3f, good); this will be just his second run in a handicap so he is entitled to continue improving. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Progressive handicapper was gaining a third win of 2025 when landing a 2m4f Clonmel mares' handicap in October in first-time tongue tie (yielding); her two outings in December against better company were not her best; the break may have done her good, but a bit to find. |

Point/maiden hurdle/beginners' chase winner; more fluent jumping in the final stages at Limerick (2m6f, soft) would have seen him go closer than the 2.25l losing margin; tapped for toe at Cork (2m3f, good) last time back in trip when third; return to this distance is a positive; in the mix. |

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