31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Won by 10l on hurdle debut at Killarney (2m1f, good) and made the running before fading into fourth (beaten about 13l) in Listed fillies' hurdle at Newbury (2m, soft) last time; now takes on males but it looked a good race last time and the first-time hood could be a plus; not ruled out. |

The highest rated of these on the Flat with a mark of 76 and ran quite well in all her six races; did come up short when favourite for a 1m2f claimer last time but could have a future over hurdles. |

Placed twice at two and has confirmed a decent standard of form this term; got into the money in a maiden at Ballinrobe last month; chased home the favourite over 1m1f on handicap debut at Tipperary last week. |

10st 8lb |
63-rated Flat maiden; showed improvement when switched to hurdling last summer, early in the juvenile campaign; placed on both Killarney starts, though beaten 10l on the second occasion; needs to find a bit extra. |

Beaten 13l+ in four Flat races (1m-1m4f), earning a mark of 64 on turf; does at least have hurdling experience after finishing a close third here a month ago. |

Just a hint of ability in four Flat starts but was disappointing at Dundalk last time; however, comes from a respected yard so can't be dismissed now tackling hurdles. |

Has had a busy time since sent hurdling last August; three wins include two over 2m at this venue, including in a handicap with this rider aboard; form has been uneven; bounced back from a dismal Fairyhouse run when second at Navan, again for this rider. |

Flat winner (7f) on good ground at Limerick last summer; has been error-prone over hurdles; best effort when winning at Galway last October; fit from a recent Flat outing at this venue; not suited by the race conditions. |

Modest Flat performer didn't run that badly in two previous maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe and Killarney but he's likely to be seen to better effect when tackling handicaps. |

Winless in 18 starts for Noel Meade but built on pleasing penultimate run when easily winning over C&D last month on first run for this yard, keen early but allowed to dictate from the front in first-time hood (retained); contender raised 7lb. |

Two fair efforts in Flat maidens in April for Ken Condon and reappeared when soundly beaten on last month's hurdles debut at Killarney, having taken a keen hold; could come on from that. |

Ran once at two; tailed off on hurdles debut at Killarney; much better when fourth at Gowran ten days ago, but will need to show further improvement. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 60y |

Sole Flat start at the Curragh last year was not devoid of promise but the same can't be said of his Killarney hurdles debut, where he finished tailed off (Whats New booked for second in that race before falling); Kennedy jumps ship now. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |
11st 11lb |
Ordinary Flat form in Britain and three quiet runs in maidens before much-improved on handicap debut (following wind surgery and with first-time tongue-tie) at Cork early this month when a 40-1 shot, hitting last but winning going away over 2m (yielding); 10lb rise for that but could go well. |

11st 7lb |
Mercurial character has placed in several maiden hurdles that were stronger than this; 17.5l fourth at Bellewstown and 21l third at Killarney the most recent of his runs over obstacles; creditable sixth on Flat at Gowran last month; big chance on figures but not the most trustworthy individual. |
2/1 |
|
6th 13 (12) |
20th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 170y |
9st 9lb |
Has made the frame in two runs in maiden hurdles (soundly beaten both times) since a below-par Flat run at Navan; last season's Roscommon win was gained over 1m4f; later ran well over 1m6f at the Curragh, so no major stamina doubt. |
8/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Flat winner has placed a couple of times over hurdles, oftentimes exhibiting quirky behaviour; fourth at Bellewstown last time (2m1f, yielding) when 17.5l behind the winner; fighting it out for a place maybe the best he can hope for. |
