21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdle wins came on good ground at about 2m; yet to score in six starts over fences but rated 11lb higher in this sphere courtesy of some good runs in defeat, including when a 15l fourth in the Kerry National at Listowel in September (3m, yielding); tailed off when pulled up at Ascot (3m, good) when last seen in November; top-rated over fences and goes well fresh. |

11st 8lb |
Both hurdle wins were at about 2m and others saw out the trip stronger when upped to 3m for the Kerry National at Listowel (yielding); however, that's looking a good renewal as two of those ahead of him were last week's Cheltenham winner Three Card Brag and French Dynamite who has since won a Grade 3; even before that run he had shown himself to be a better chaser than hurdler and, still only a 6yo, this trip is worth persevering with for now; interesting. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A tongue-tie is added after his Kelso disappointment and his two previous runs in 2m5f/2m3f handicaps certainly bring him into the equation; unraced here. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to form with creditable third (just behind Jericoacoara) in valuable series final here (2m5f, good to soft) last month and also ran well when second in small field at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) 16 days ago; each-way claims at least. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won four in a row over hurdles in Ireland in May-July 2024; down in weights and first sign of promise since coming to Britain when third of 14 over 2m5f at Kelso (good to soft) 14 days ago; well treated if he can build on that. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; pulled up in a race of this type over hurdles at Tramore last month; better when fourth off his higher chase mark at this venue on latest; hard to win with. |

Dual-purpose sort showed decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; not an easy horse to win with and has to rebound now after a failure over hurdles at Tramore. |

Dual-purpose sort showed his best form last autumn over fences, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; rated 10lb less over hurdles but can be involved if ready enough on return. |

11st 9lb |
One of eight for trainer; made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase last summer but hit and miss since, best effort when a 2.75l runner-up behind Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice in November; bounced back from two poor runs in big-field handicaps when second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice last time; big fields may not be his thing. |

Made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice' last summer but has been hit and miss since, best effort when runner-up in a Cork Grade 3 novice; poor runs in very competitive Leopardstown handicaps last twice but drop in class makes her a leading player. |
