Won a maiden hurdle at Cork (18.5f, gd-yld) in August 2024 but has lost his way since; hard to fancy on 2025 form; new visor needs to spark something. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |
11st 9lb |
Dual purpose; course Flat winner hasn't won a handicap hurdle since 2022 and made an inauspicious start for this yard when failing to beat a rival on the Flat at Limerick; will strip fitter now but others preferred. |

9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose veteran has won eight races including four on turf on the Flat; not a bad run on final start for Ian O'Connor in a Cork handicap hurdle in November; off since and entitled to need this on first run for Charles Coakley. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 80y |
10st 10lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles with two of those coming over 2m1f at this track; bounced back from some underwhelming Flat runs to win here last time (yielding to soft); on a career high mark now but he has only run ten times over hurdles so there is likely still improvement to come and he clearly likes the course. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner in October; well held favourite in a novice hurdle at Limerick in December on most recent hurdle outing and arrives on the back of two low-key Flat runs last month; doesn't look well treated on anything he's done so far. |
20/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
11th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Enjoyed a fine spell of form between August and November last year, winning twice hurdle and Flat handicaps at Navan and Dundalk; left with lots to do on recent Listowel comeback run (behind a stablemate) so expected to come on for that with Billy Lee taking over for local yard. |

Two-time winner over hurdles with his last win coming over C&D in April off 98 (16.5f, yielding); has been running consistently since then without winning; 6.75l sixth of 10 at Wexford last time (2m1f, good to yielding); each-way chance but 2lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |
10st 1lb |
Wide margin winner at Tramore in April and several good runs in defeat subsequently; behind several of today's rivals in those defeats; consistent sort should be thereabouts but may find one or two too good. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 80y |
11st 1lb |
Won a 2m maiden hurdle at Wexford (soft) in October; no impact since in handicaps; best of recent efforts was a 5.25l sixth of 16 at Tipperary in July (2m, good to yielding); needs to bounce back after being tailed off at Wexford last time in a tongue-tie (discarded). |

Won a soft ground 2m maiden hurdle at this track last autumn and best run since was fifth at Tipperary last month; up in trip today and has to rebound from a lesser Killarney run. |

Longstanding maiden but in good nick for his new stable, fifth of 13 in 2m Ludlow novice in November; no forlorn hope after a break. |

|
2nd 11 |
14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Is 0-16 over hurdles but some good runs in defeat recently; finished 3l behind the winner at Clonmel in June (2m1f, good to yielding); likely didn't handle the softer conditions at Killarney following that but posted another good effort in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time when a 2.25l third of seven (2m, good to yielding); cheekpieces go on now; he is not discounted and is due to be raised 4lb in future. |
10/1 |

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

The most experienced of the field is 0-17 but has run well in defeat, including a 3l second in a Clonmel handicap hurdle off 96 in June (2m1f, good to yielding); well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time (2m1f, yielding to soft); could do better back on good ground. |

Has improved markedly on last two starts, winning Ballinrobe handicap hurdles over 2m-2m2f; won by a wide margin last time and raised 11lb but has to be considered again despite a rise in class. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 60y |
10st 10lb |
Improver since entering handicap ranks, plenty keen when rallying second at Killarney (yielding-to-soft) and handled good ground well here earlier this month, leading early on, not fluent last but finding plenty run-in to win comfortably; type to keep improving (7lb higher) and slightly longer trip to suit. |

1st 3 |
11th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 169y |

Improved from low-key handicap debut at Clonmel when second at Killarney last month; that run can be upgraded since he put in a few untidy jumps; good chance if he can improve his jumping. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 50y |

Flat winner in 2022; nowhere near as effective a hurdler but penultimate Naas third (2m, soft to heavy) offers a modicum of hope. |
