22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 3lb |
A 19-race maiden over hurdles but a player judged on C&D third off 13lb higher in March 2025 and good fourth at Down Royal on return off 8lb higher; sent off 13-2 when well beaten behind Gangster Granny latest but she's becoming well treated now. |

No wins from 21 starts but some good efforts all the same, including when a close second here in a 2023 maiden (2m4f, soft); returned from an absence here last time when keeping on for a 14.5l fourth (2m5f, yielding); that should have brought her on. |

11st 11lb |
Decent runs in defeat over autumn/winter, finishing fourth here (3m1f, good to yielding) and third at Punchestown (3m, heavy); less than fluent jumping at Musselburgh when fifth in February (3m, good to soft); stayed on for a distant third at Clonmel last time (3m, heavy); not out of it and this better ground may help. |

Irish maiden who has shown positive signs since wearing cheekpieces, making the frame over 3m at Down Royal and Punchestown; may take another step forward in the retained headgear; interesting. |

C&D winner; last scored in September 2023 but back to form with a 1.25l second at Clonmel on latest; raised 3lb for that but is still 10lb below his last success; C&D form figures read 41343; leading claims. |

2nd 13 |
14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
10st 4lb |
One of two for yard; last of three wins came at Listowel in 2023; fourth on both starts for this stable at this venue over 3m but beaten 31l (on heavy) and 52l (on yielding); on a dangerous mark now, however, and cheekpieces might provide a spark. |

Three wins all at 3m, most recently at Listowel festival in 2023; back down to competitive mark on evidence of clear second over same trip at Limerick in October; following month in contention when brought down two out at this venue; well beaten fourth on yard debut at Clonmel. |

Debut point-to-point winner bagged back-to-back wins over hurdles in September in a Galway handicap (2m7f, good to yielding) and a Downpatrick novice contest (2m6f, yielding); fell at the first at Galway next time and tailed off at Cheltenham when last seen in October; top-rated of these over hurdles. |

Early faller in Galway handicap when bidding for hat-trick after comfortable wins (2m6f, good to yielding/2m5f, yielding); faces no easy task off top weight in this field but may do better still. |

10st 4lb |
Killarney handicap winner in October (2m7f, yielding) and took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Punchestown in February before third in a similar event; well-backed favourite back chasing last month, disputing lead (clear of remainder) when unseating two out at Limerick (2m2f, heavy); remains very much of interest off 2lb higher mark. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 185y |

Killarney chase winner in October (2m7f, yielding); went close to following up at Punchestown (3m, heavy); pulled up in a 2m6f contest at this venue at Christmas; took advantage of a lower hurdles mark at Punchestown last month; third in a similar event at that venue last time; back over fences now, trip possibly a bit sharp for him. |

Point-to-point winner was narrowly denied here in February (2m4f, heavy) off 6lb lower; solid runs in defeat the last twice at Galway over 22.5f; stamina to prove for this trip, big chance if he stays (positive signals in pedigree). |
