31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 2lb |
Two chase wins; went close at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); twice placed from three visits to this track; shaped quite well for this when fourth at Limerick ten days ago on first run after a break; made a lot of the running then, every chance with fitness advanced. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
12st 0lb |
Two-time chase winner, including here (2m2f, good to yielding); went close off 1lb lower at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); lacks a recent run but goes well fresh; a drying track would enhance his chance. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 4lb |
Both hurdle wins have come on good ground; off the mark at Limerick in April last year (2m3f) and went in again at Tramore in August (2m5f) off 5lb lower; jumping issues evident at Tramore in October and soft ground against him at Clonmel last month; interesting back on his preferred surface with a run under his belt. |

Off the mark in Limerick handicap last April (2m3f, good); failed to complete next three starts before narrowly scoring at Tramore in August (20.5f, good); jumping issues evident at Tramore when last seen; prefers better ground. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 73y |

Off the mark in a Limerick handicap hurdle in May; failed to complete on his next three starts but back to form when holding on gamely over C&D in August and the runner-up has boosted that form; 5lb rise is fair and should go well. |

Not as good as Star Artist over hurdles; been offering more on the Flat, appreciating the step up to this trip when having Star Artist behind in Constitution Hill's Kempton race last time; handicaps will likely be her time to shine after this. |

Modest maiden hurdler; fared best of the rest behind easy winner at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last week on Flat debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; needs big improvement on form, however. |

No wins from eight but the best of those runs came at this track in a maiden on her penultimate start when a 9.25l third of 10 (2m6f, good to yielding); never featured when stepped back into handicap company at Cartmel last month (2m6f, soft); place-chance. |
