15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
10st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins last year, a maiden here (good) and a three-runner novice event at Tramore; not disgraced in a Cork Listed novice hurdle in November; fell at five out on chasing debut at Tramore last month; not dismissed. |

11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins last year, a maiden at Kilbeggan (good) and a three-runner novice event at this venue (good); 110-rated gelding out of the great Solerina; interesting on chase debut given his status as a course winner. |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Two wins this year, a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.5f, good) and a three runner novice hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good); beaten 5.5l off 110 in a Clonmel handicap 10 days ago; much more needed to be competitive upped in trip in this grade. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 11lb |
Twice placed in maiden hurdles in 2024; weak form last year; good enough to win a recent maiden point at Castletown-Geoghegan, but the form does not amount to much. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 50y |

Yet to win but has been placed twice in maidens; below form in two starts this year but may do better now tackling handicaps so the market might reveal more. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
10st 3lb |
Is 0-12 under Rules; best efforts have come over hurdles at this venue; not a bad effort on chase debut at Tipperary in July; soft ground may not have suited on latest at Ballinrobe; could do better back at this track. |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
One of two runners for yard; has run well in defeat in several maiden hurdles; likely to do better in this grade so watch the market on handicap debut. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 160y |
11st 4lb |
Has run to a decent level in three starts over hurdles and rated 104; beaten 17.5l when sixth of 21 at Punchestown (2m3f, gd-yld); place chance but probably needs a bit more to win. |

Maiden on the Flat has run well in defeat over hurdles at times, including at this track; capable of a good run on chase debut but best form is on a sound surface. |
13/2 |

3rd 5 |
27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Placed twice over hurdles; not a bad effort when fourth over 2m6f at Downpatrick last time; needs to find a little extra. |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose maiden; middling maiden form but good third in handicap hurdle debut at Down Royal in April off 104 (2m4f, good); less promising upped to 3m at Wexford in May; not a bad run in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last month when staying on for third (18.5f, good); not discounted. |

Longstanding maiden has been placed plenty of times; pulled-up in first-time cheekpieces at Listowel last time and not easy to fancy from 1lb out of the handicap. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner; sent off a favourite for her only handicap start here in April, only to fall; has come down in the ratings; respectable form at Kilbeggan on his last two starts; may again find a few too good. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Point winner has found it tough since racing under Rules; she has been well behind in her three recent starts at this venue at 15.5f-2m3f; she was sent off a warm order for her only handicap start at Bellewstown in April off 109 when she fell; can do better back in handicap company. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Beginning to look exposed after eight defeats over hurdles and beaten 16l over C&D two weeks ago when one of the favourites for a maiden; usual hood retained but the tongue-tie now left off. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 160y |
10st 11lb |
Rated 102; standout effort for Willie Mullins a 3.75l second of 10 in a mares' maiden at Tramore (21.5f, gd-yld) in May; stayed on late when beaten 15l over 2m6f (yld-sft) at Downpatrick latest; debateable whether this drop back in trip will suit. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |

Promising debut in a bumper and back to form when runner-up at Tramore last month; this requires more and yard have stronger claims with Full Confession. |
