13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three times (2m2f, 2m4f) when trained in Ireland last summer; unplaced in three valuable handicap hurdles (2m4f-2m7f) for new trainer this spring; the drop back in trip for his chasing debut may not be in his favour. |

Won three consecutive handicaps last summer up to 2m4f for Donncha Duggan; some fine runs in defeat after including since switched to this yard; has to prove he stays this trip. |

11st 3lb |
Consistent results in Ireland this term featured three summer wins; not disgraced with midfield finish at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on debut for new stable but needs to improve on that bare form. |

4yo who is penalised for winning a Bellewstown maiden in April (2m1f, good); 0-4 in the meantime but the form of those defeats reads well in the context of this race, with his latest conqueror progressive. |

Wexford maiden hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien last year; however, has been below that form in four runs for this yard; blinkers replace previously-worn cheekpieces. |

Three wins on the Flat and now 2-16 over hurdles after beating Becasse and Putapoundinthejar at Listowel; up 4lb, could feature again with Josh Williamson's claim. |

Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best. |

Killarney handicap hurdle winner in August (2m1f, good) off 113; fairly consistent hurdles/Flat form afterwards and recorded a third Flat win at Dundalk when last seen in December; this ground suits. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Ordinary form in maidens; this trip may help his cause judged on a satisfactory handicap run over shorter at Galway; lost ground with a mistake at the fifth, stayed on from off the pace to finish in mid-division. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 7lb |
Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when winning at Navan (1m5f, good) last month and only narrowly failed to follow up at Bellewstown five days later, getting caught on the line over 1m7f after forcing it; up a total of 12lb for those efforts so more needed. |

Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when always well positioned and winning at Navan (1m5f, good) 25 days ago; 6lb higher now but rider's 2lb claim partly negates that; consistent sort is a big player again. |

Runner-up on her first two starts for this yard before getting off the mark at the 20th attempt with a 4l Ballinrobe maiden hurdle success (2m1f, good); returned from a short break with a positive run at Clonmel last time when third (2m4f, yielding); Flidais was in fourth that day and has won subsequently; in the mix. |

Runner-up on her first two starts for this yard (both at Sligo) before getting off the mark at the 20th attempt with a 4l Ballinrobe success (2m1f, good); needs to bounce back from a below-par run in a Sligo novice event. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle in May last year (2m4f, good); beat precious few rivals in four beginners' chases to date; pulled up at Tramore when badly hampered at the first last time; others preferred. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

1-11 over hurdles and rated 100; tailed off in all three previous starts over fences and similar story last two starts in novice hurdles; lacks a recent run and others appeal more. |
