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. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |
10st 3lb |
Impressive handicap chase win at Limerick on latest (22.5f, good); now looks to exploit 12lb lower hurdles mark but hasn't won in this sphere since September 2023; in form, though, and can't discount. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Consistent gelding over fences and hurdles, better as a chaser; placed on all three starts over hurdles since a handicap chase win at the Listowel festival; touched off at Limerick last time; up 3lb but still 12lb below his chase mark; strong contender. |
6/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Has been generally consistent in the last 18 months since joining this yard; won over fences at Listowel and a good 2nd over C&D since so goes on the shortlist. |

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. |
10/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |
10st 11lb |
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. |
18/1 |

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. |
