Four-time winner over hurdles/fences; bolted up in 3m Killarney chase last August; recorded career-best when winning 2m3f chase here in October; attention turns back to hurdling after below-par effort chasing here on latest. |

Landed a handicap chase and a handicap hurdle in the space of eight days in May; out of sorts after that until running okay in a handicap chase at Sligo on Wednesday; has a chance. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 67y |
11st 2lb |
Gained back-to-back wins in May, easily over fences at Limerick (2m7f) and hurdles at Tramore (2m6f) on good ground; well held last twice in Kilbeggan handicap chases, however, so needs to bounce back. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 125y |
10st 0lb |
A win and five seconds from eight starts over fences; effectively up 6lb for his latest run at Listowel, where he was a well-backed favourite in his bid to follow up last year's win in 2m3f handicap; previously was still in contention when departing two out in race won by Miners Bridge at Killarney; markedly up in grade. |
8/1 |

2nd 10 |
25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year off 5lb lower, just getting up late; has mostly run over hurdles since and some decent efforts; unlucky to unseat back over fences at Killarney last time and can be a big player. |
4/1 |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 8lb |
Consistent gelding; placed on all four starts off a lower mark over hurdles since a handicap chase win off 98 at Listowel in September (2m4f, good to yielding), form has worked out well; back over fences now on his first run since January; never runs a bad race. |

Maiden hasn't been beaten far at times over hurdles and fences; beaten 11l off this mark at Roscommon last time over 3m1f; should be involved. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 10y |
11st 5lb |
Extended record under Rules to 0-11 in a Wexford maiden hurdle last month; could come on for that first run after 287 days off and shaped ok when fourth at Ballinrobe off 4lb higher last September; easy ground a query though. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 170y |

0-10 under rules; makes seasonal return here and would need to step up on his previous form to get involved. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
10st 0lb |
Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |

Dual-winning hurdler has largely struggled this term and was pushed along vigorously over fences on latest at Clonmel; Jack Kennedy has been booked though, so he's worth a market check. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 100y |
10st 9lb |
Won this race in 2023 but that is his sole win from 21 starts over fences; poor in both runs this summer and has to return to best. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 10y |
10st 13lb |
1-20 over fences, the win coming off 80 at Killarney just under two years ago; remains 4lb above his last win and didn't show enough on return from a break on latest to make him of interest here. |

Point winner has shown nothing in two maiden hurdles and three chases; should do better dropping to handicaps but not easy to fancy. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 24y |
11st 5lb |
Has won a point since struggling in two chase runs nearly two years ago but makes limited appeal on this return from an absence. |
