29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Wexford maiden hurdle winner last August (2m1f, gd-yld); not a bad run in handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; turns her hand to chasing now and pedigree suggests she'll take to this game; yard in form; interesting. |

Point winner; won a 2m1f Wexford maiden hurdle last August; was then poor at Navan on handicap debut; much better but still well beaten at Punchestown on second attempt; finished sixth at Kilbeggan last month, rider weighed in light, disqualified. |

Worryingly below par in his last two races (bumper/maiden) but his seconds in maidens last August (one here) gives him definite hopes off this sort of mark; hard to dismiss. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |

Was runner-up in maiden hurdles at Wexford (2m1f) and here (2m5f) last August; beaten 5l on latter occasion by a subsequent Grade 3 winner; was poor in a bumper when last seen but is a big player if back to best form on return. |

10st 11lb |
Cocked her jaw at Kilbeggan last time and was pulled up; prior to that she finished third in a reasonable-looking Fairyhouse maiden hurdle; clearly a difficult ride but likely has the ability and from the right connections. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Winners have emerged from the maiden hurdle in which she ran third at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) and this mare should have a deal more to offer; obvious contender. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Has achieved his best form at this venue, namely when twice second (in a maiden and a handicap) in the first half of 2025; moderate form last summer; always behind at Down Royal on return from a break; appears to be the trainer's second string. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |

One of two for yard; some fair efforts in defeat last year but pulled up on heavy ground when last seen in November at Fairyhouse; these conditions more suitable, capable off this mark and not dismissed dropped in grade. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 92y |

Fair form earlier in the year, notably when twice runner-up at Downpatrick; more recent efforts have left a lot to be desired; moderate third in a maiden at Downpatrick in August; down the field in a handicap at the Listowel festival. |

Four-time Flat winner was placed in a maiden hurdle last season; big improvement needed from his first two handicap attempts at Navan and Fairyhouse. |

Four-time Flat winner ran well in a few maiden hurdles without winning, including at this track; however, has been well beaten on the Flat and in a h'cap hurdle lately so needs a return to best. |
