31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Won back to back races last summer, a Bellewstown maiden hurdle (20.5f, good) and a Kelso novice (2m5f, good); out of depth in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice hurdle when last seen in October; not bred for this game and probably best watched after a 219-day absence. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
All his best form is on good ground and he was withdrawn from a yielding-to-soft engagement; made all for wins at around 2m5f at Bellewstown and Kelso, latterly by a narrow margin; up in grade and down in trip, others appeal more. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Bellewstown (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, despite some indifferent jumping; posted an RPR of 127 in the process and that sets the standard here; stable won this last year; softening ground might not be ideal (withdrawn from a yielding to soft engagement). |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in maidens at Limerick (2m1f) and Bellewstown (2m4f, good), and latest conqueror has since followed up; may find 2m on the sharp side but has each-way claims in the new cheekpieces. |
6/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Standout effort when runner-up in 2m1f Limerick maiden hurdle in May (good); tame enough finishing efforts since at both Wexford and Cork; more needed. |
7/2 |

6th 10 |
4th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Standout effort a 2l second of 10 in a maiden hurdle at Limerick (2m1f) in May; 2m5f may have been too far when disappointing on latest at Wexford; rated 115 and he's a big player dropped back in distance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |

Second in a bumper in Britain last summer; had hinted at handicap potential in maidens before a moderate run at Clonmel a month ago. |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 188y |
10st 13lb |
Encouraging second in bumper on debut at Worcester in June before disappointing favourite at Stratford; two okay runs over hurdles after and shaped well at Thurles 161 days ago, beaten 7l into fourth by Run for Mahler; chance on that form but might need better ground. |
13/2 |

4th 12 |
16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 172y |
10st 12lb |
Debut point winner; took second in a Worcester bumper on rules debut (despite losing a shoe); disappointing odds-on favourite at Stratford following that; stepped up in trip when a well beaten third on hurdling debut and 28l behind in a Gowran conditions hurdle last time (2m, soft); this is easier. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
10st 10lb |
Improved over tame handicap debut at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) when a 16l fifth of 18 at Punchestown (2m, yielding); tailed off back at that venue next time (2m3f, heavy); potentially prefers better ground than this. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up in both maiden hurdle runs for Jennifer Lynch but definite step forward on second outing for Willie Mullins when narrowly denied by a stablemate (pair clear) in 2m6f Tramore maiden in May (good-to-yielding); bought for just 1,800gns at Tattersalls July Sale and now debuts for Dermot McLoughlin. |

Pulled up in two maiden hurdle starts; made stable debut last time at Punchestown when well back in the field (2m3f, yielding); was returning from a break that day but he needs improvement if he is to win here; trainer also runs two others. |

Third in a hunter chase here last year and returns to rules action after winning a point two weeks ago; however, others have more pressing claims when this is his handicap debut. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 7lb |
Wide margin winner of Limerick bumper in November; much improved on second attempt hurdling when clear second to a useful sort in Clonmel mares' event (soft) but has run poorly both starts since, found to have blood at both nostrils at Clonmel and (after 6 months' break) weakened tamely before last at Kilbeggan early this month; entitled to come on for latest but has questions to answer at this stage. |

Wide margin winner of yielding ground Limerick bumper in November; much improved on second attempt hurdling when a clear second to a useful sort in a mares' event at Clonmel (2m1f, soft); found to have blood at both nostrils when a disappointing favourite back at Clonmel last time; given a break following that; thereabouts. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 0y |

Fulfilled earlier promise when running away with a Limerick bumper in November and much improved on second attempt hurdling when a clear second to a useful sort in 2m1f mares maiden here last month (soft), each time forcing it; should make a bold bid. |
11/4 |
