Three-time hurdle winner who has fared well in three starts over fences, beaten a neck by Kilbrin Rocco at Tramore 26 days ago; step up in trip and ground should suit. |

Maiden put in one of her best efforts when C&D third in August off this mark (good); didn't count over 2m4f at Galway on latest; more needed. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |

Put in one of his best efforts at Sligo in August when a 3l third (2m2f, good) in first-time hood; midfield finish at Listowel last time (2m, good to yielding); handles an ease, place possibilities. |

Bolted up when losing her maiden tag at the 18th attempt in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last month; 11lb higher but that was a first start in 273 days so there's a chance she'll come on for the run; one to consider. |

Held his form well after winning a Down Royal handicap last August (2m1f, good to firm); back from a break he appeared to get outstayed by the front two over 2m3f at Cork; better expected here. |

3rd 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |

Super consistent form in autumn; winner of a Down Royal handicap off 90 (2m2f, good to firm) before following that with three runner-up finishes at Listowel, Punchestown, and here at 2m-2m2f; has risen in handicap for not winning; tries this trip for first time; check market now back from a break. |

In fine form; won off 10lb lower at Down Royal in August (17.5f, gd-fm) and solid efforts in defeat since at Listowel (2m2f, yielding) and Punchestown (2m, gd-yld); should be in the mix again. |
