27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Winner of handicap hurdles last term at Roscommon and Downpatrick before recording wins over fences at Fairyhouse and Haydock; pulled up over fences on latest but previous Down Royal hurdle second gives him claims; tongue-tie added to usual cheekpieces. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |
11st 9lb |
Winner of both starts over fences; 15lb higher than when beating Duffys Hodey over 3m at Fairyhouse in November, having backed that up with a 2m4f win at Haydock; placed off his much lower hurdles mark in two outings this month. |

Dual hurdle winner won consecutive handicap chases over the winter at Fairyhouse and Haydock; not as good in two hurdle runs since and has to return to best. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 154y |
11st 8lb |
In great form at the moment over fences; followed up a wide-margin Thurles success (2m6f, soft) when beating Plain Or Battered by 2l at Clonmel next time (3m, soft); runs off 18lb lower hurdles mark; big player. |
5/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 122y |

Fair form over hurdles without winning; won by a big margin at Thurles three weeks ago on his third start over fences; a 10lb rise may prove too much but could challenge for a share of the money. |

Consistent, placing in five of his last seven starts; third on chasing debut at Cork (2m4f, yielding to soft); hampered and fell at the first in race won by Toor Khov; good run over hurdles at a big price at Punchestown since then. |

Now 0-16 but hit the frame over C&D twice for Tony Martin off higher marks; pulled up on chase debut at Tramore when last seen in November; betting will guide on yard debut; tongue-tied. |

Now 0-13 hurdling, some creditable efforts off declining mark at 2m6f; late headway over 2m4f on latest, this trip could be what she wants. |

11st 5lb |
Went close over 3m at Leopardstown in March and again over 2m4f at Cork in May; below best at Listowel later that month; Roscommon fourth was quite promising after a break; only 2l off Gortmore Lady then; definite chance. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 53y |

Maiden went close to breaking his duck at Leopardstown in March (3m, yielding) and at Cork in May (2m4f, good); didn't back it up at Listowel later that month and off since; chance if fit after a break. |

First reserve; won over hurdles at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy) in January; below best twice since, including on chase debut at Clonmel on latest; needs more off this mark. |

Hasn't won since December 2022 or placed since April 2024; well handicapped on old form and yard going well but hard to fancy on recent showings. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 53y |

10st 13lb |
Won here over hurdles in February (15.5f, heavy) and sent off favourite for 19.5f course handicap chase on latest when a never-threatening fourth; has a bit to find but the drop in trip should help. |
6/1 |

Two of his three hurdle wins have come at this track with the latest last month and not a bad effort back here last time; hasn't run over fences in a while but would have a squeak on his best efforts. |

Possibly value for more than the neck margin when winning at Tramore last month; only 4lb higher and is at the right end of the handicap here; every chance of getting in the mix. |

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

Showed that he was getting the hang of things over fences when second over C&D at the Christmas meeting; backed that up when justifying favouritism in heavy ground in a 2m contest at Clonmel in January; posed no threat off his revised mark at Thurles five weeks ago. |
