11st 10lb |
Bumper winner in 2024 got off the mark over hurdles in a Cork maiden over 2m4f last October; didn't jump well on chasing debut last time but can do better back in this sphere, though has a bit to find with the Elliott pair; cheekpieces. |

17th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won a Kilbeggan bumper on debut in 2024 and got off the mark over hurdles at Cork over 2m4f in October; handles soft ground and can be a player on chasing debut if staying the trip. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Kilbeggan bumper winner on debut last year and has been consistent in defeat in four hurdle starts since up to 3m; lacks a recent start but if he runs up to his 114 rating then has a big shout. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
10st 12lb |
Struggled after winning a bumper on debut; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles; well backed and ran creditably in a Cork rated novice hurdle last time when third (2m2f, good); getting the hang of things and should be thereabouts. |
9/1 |

3rd 6 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 65y |
10st 13lb |
Two previous trainers; struggled after winning a bumper on debut; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles (including over 2m4f here), setting the pace each time; ran well in decent Flat maiden here last month on first start for Kevin Coleman and won't mind good ground; 1lb wrong. |

Rated 104 over hurdles; debut Killarney bumper winner in 2023; hit the frame last three maiden hurdles in 2025; Flat debut for Kevin Coleman; market will guide. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 170y |
10st 9lb |
Likes a stamina test, second win coming over 3m1f at Navan in December in first-time cheekpieces (soft-to-heavy); creditable efforts off revised mark twice since, latest when third (Minella Emperor second) in 3m Pertemps qualifier at Haydock on better ground; place claims. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Second hurdle success when stepped up to 3m1f for his Navan handicap debut (soft to heavy) in December and backed that up when third of nine over 3m at Fairyhouse (yielding) since; one of a few unexposed types in this line-up. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
14th Jan 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Thurles maiden hurdle winner in October (2m6f, good to yielding), and runner-up was a very easy winner next time; well beaten in a novice hurdle back at that track subsequently, but ready winner when stepped up in trip in first-time cheekpieces for Navan handicap last time (3m1f, soft to heavy); stamina is his forte on breeding (dam half-sister to Best Mate), and big player here. |

11st 8lb |
Won on his second point start in May; the best of three maiden hurdle runs when a 16l runner-up to what looks a smart rival at Navan last time; still has to improve on that. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Point winner at Ballingarry in May; looked in need of further when a staying-on fifth over 2m at Kilbeggan on hurdling debut; 20-1 chance when falling at the first at Galway 12 days ago. |

Beaten a long way in two handicaps lately and has a rating of only 72 so can't be fancied. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Remote third at Wexford (16.5f, good) off 2lb higher on penultimate but didn't build on that upped to 20.5f at the same venue latest; drops back in trip now but others make more appeal. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 100y |
10st 1lb |
Stayed on for a modest third here (16.5f, good) last time, his best run to date; dropped 1lb and this longer trip should suit; place chance if building on that last run. |

A glimmer of promise in two point starts but was beaten a long way at Listowel on hurdles debut and has to improve hugely. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Placed in four of his 14 starts over hurdles; well exposed now; unlikely to make the breakthrough in this company. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 100y |

Second runner for yard; some fine runs in defeat in maiden hurdles last season but was well below form on last two starts; could get involved if back to his best after a break. |
