Limerick handicap hurdle winner in October 2024 off 94; little of note in his form since then however, recent Punchestown run a bit more encouraging; more needed. |

Maiden was third in consecutive handicaps over 2m1f at Wexford in July but has been below that level twice since, including at Gowran last week; needs more. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
11st 10lb |
Chased home a clear winner in a Limerick maiden in November (yielding) and has run encouragingly in Wexford handicaps over the summer on good ground, filling the frame twice; recent Bellewstown effort was a step backwards, but in the mix if at his best, although softer conditions would raise a doubt. |

Sole win came in 2m Clonmel mares' maiden in 2024; flashes of form last year, placed at Wexford and prospects when falling two out at Clonmel; not a bad run at Limerick after a winter break. |

Good ground hurdles winner shaped with mild promise on chase debut in Thurles beginners' (18.5f, good to yielding) in October; pulled up and tailed off next two starts on heavy; of interest if the ground has good in the description. |

Added second hurdles win when victorious at Fairyhouse in October (2m, yielding) off 7lb lower; not done with when departing at the second last at Cheltenham but unseen since tailed off at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) in November; ground should suit. |

Winner of a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in 2023 off 89 (2m1f, good); solid 2l fourth at Tramore on chasing debut when running on well (2m, good); fell a long way from the finish at Wexford last time (2m3f, good); in the mix if that fall hasn't left mental scars. |

Only 1-18 over hurdles but made a pleasing chase debut when a 2l fourth at Tramore (1m7f handicap); was running on so should stay this far; may need good ground so watch the weather. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Debut point winner got off the mark over hurdles when successful over C&D (good) in July off 78; unable to go in again off revised mark in two subsequent starts here and at Downpatrick; creditable efforts over fences when last seen in October. |

Maiden hasn't troubled the judge in three runs since return from a 527 day layoff; jumping often an issue, though she was hampered when unseating latest; others appeal more. |

Yet to make much of an impact under rules with lack of fluency in jumping a consistent issue; tailed off in two starts following 527-day break, although slight improvement last time; others bring more pressing claims. |

One of two for trainer; maiden has been consistent in handicaps; runner-up at Tramore off this mark in November (2m5f, soft); below that when a beaten favourite at Down Royal next time (2m4f, yielding), finishing a distant third; another good effort when fourth back there last time; maybe the cheekpieces can get a bit more from him. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 170y |

Maiden has been consistent in handicaps over the last year; not his best run when a beaten favourite over a bit further here last time but can go closer if improving from that. |

Had been running respectably in handicaps and found just one too good at Tramore (2m5f, soft) when last seen in November; up 2lb for that but could go well if ready after his break. |
