21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
11st 12lb |
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. |

11st 8lb |
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. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Looked like one for stayers' trips when taking a Downpatrick 2m6f maiden last summer (good), but unable to confirm that impression on her one run after; much the longest absent of these, and her mark is no gift. |

3rd 4 |
12th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 50y |
10st 13lb |
4yo filly rated 116 after three runs; won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle on penultimate (2m6f, good); good effort conceding weight to progressive sort in a novice back there on latest (21.5f, yld); shaped like further would suit so she should go well up in trip. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 110y |

Excelled after being stepped up in trip here over 2m6f on second start last time (good), winning by 9.5l in the end; the choice of Kennedy with further improvement likely. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Exposed hurdler 1-14 in that sphere and rated 113; his win came over 3m2f but he's effective at this shorter trip; however, not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and lacks a recent run; others appeal more. |
12/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 60y |
11st 7lb |
Won off 10lb lower at Sligo (3m2f, good) in May; beaten 1l off 114 at Kilbeggan in July (20.5f, yld-sft) and just 1lb higher here; not beaten far at Perth latest and he has place claims. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since comfortable win in 15-runner Sligo handicap (3m2f, good) in June and was below form when well-held third in Downpatrick novice on Friday but has a big role to play if back on song here. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
10st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins last year, a maiden here (good) and a three-runner novice event at Tramore; not disgraced in a Cork Listed novice hurdle in November; fell at five out on chasing debut at Tramore last month; not dismissed. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins last year, a maiden at Kilbeggan (good) and a three-runner novice event at this venue (good); 110-rated gelding out of the great Solerina; interesting on chase debut given his status as a course winner. |
9/2 |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Two wins this year, a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.5f, good) and a three runner novice hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good); beaten 5.5l off 110 in a Clonmel handicap 10 days ago; much more needed to be competitive upped in trip in this grade. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Ten-race maiden over hurdles but some good efforts in defeat last year in maidens, most notably when second at Roscommon in August; returned from break at Bellewstown 27 days ago, pulled up before last; needs improvement on chase debut up in trip, but not out of it on pick of form. |
18/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
11st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden but some good runs in defeat; back-to-back runner-up finishes in maiden hurdles at Roscommon and Ballinrobe last August on better ground; way below that at Downpatrick when last seen in September. |
8/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Six-race maiden but some decent runs in defeat, including back-to-back runner-up finishes on last two starts; best run was at Roscommon when a lot went wrong (interference, mistake, hung), and he was still a 1.25l second; this is the longest trip he has tackled under rules. |

Two of three hurdles victories have come over C&D, including last time when winning off a mark of 109 (good); a pair of decent runs in defeat in prior chasing starts; he's in fine spirits at the moment and loves this track so has a lot going for him but softer conditions would pose a question. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Chasing the last twice, going close over 2m7f here and then a rallying third at Tramore (2m6f); won back-to-back handicap hurdles earlier this year but his mark took a knock and those recent chasing exploits were off much lower ratings; can still run well with a solid course record. |
3/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Gained back-to-back wins over hurdles in April/May, here off 88 (21.5f, yielding) and off 100 at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); now rated 109 over timber; denied by a head off lower chase mark by Thehairyfella on latest; up 3lb for that but good chance off 19lb lower chase mark. |
