11st 7lb |
Bumper winner in 2024 won twice over hurdles last summer but wasn't at her best on last two 2025 runs; however, she is a quality sort and can go well fresh so is respected on chase bow. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner has won two of her three starts over hurdles; came up short when upped to listed class at Galway on latest; sole start on softer than good was poor and Townend prefers the prospects of Davy Crockett. |

11st 2lb |
Struggled on heavy ground on debut in a Fairyhouse bumper but has won all three starts since on good ground, including over timber in Listowel maiden and impressive in 5-runner 2m Roscommon novice early this month, keen but making most and readily drawing away two out; slick jumper, can continue to progress and major player. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 179y |
12st 2lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May on second start for this yard at Ballinrobe; useful five-time Flat winner for Andrew Balding; could make no impression when returning to Britain for the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot; no match for a Willie Mullins-trained favourite in a novice hurdle at Roscommon three weeks ago. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 204y |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark over hurdles on second start for this yard at Ballinrobe (16.5f, good) in May; smart form on the Flat for Andrew Balding but came up short back on the level in a hot Royal Ascot handicap three weeks ago; top-rated here at 128; obvious chance on ground that will suit. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive for Andrew Balding last year, winning two handicaps (1m4f/1m6f, AW/good); went over hurdles last month for his new yard and won a maiden at Ballinrobe three weeks ago; could go well now back on the Flat. |

Maiden, rated 90 over hurdles and 50 on the Flat, off since September, others appeal more. |

12st 0lb |
Dual-purpose maiden has shown ability over hurdles but hasn't really been threatening in recent starts; however, he drops into 0-100 company for the first time so a big run would not surprise. |
9/1 |

11th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 169y |
11st 6lb |
Has shown glimmers of ability since switched to hurdles, including on his last two starts when finishing in midfield at Galway; down another pound but needs to find extra off his current mark. |

Grade 3 AQPS winner in France in 2023; took a while to deliver over hurdles last season; odds-on when opening his hurdles account in a 2m Tramore maiden at the sixth attempt; below-par at Roscommon in July before beating the useful Strong Link over this trip at Listowel; underlined improvement when second in last month's Persian War at Chepstow. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 2lb |
One of eight for trainer; maiden hurdle winner built on a good runner-up finish at Gowran on his third chase start to win a four-runner Wexford beginners' chase (3m1f, soft) at his leisure last time; that form probably doesn't amount to much, but he's not ruled out now entering handicaps. |

17th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 0y |

Won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle over 2m3f last summer; the best of three chase runs came last time when a 3l runner-up at Gowran over the same trip; similar ground today and is the one to beat if staying this trip. |
