24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 11y |
11st 13lb |
Won a Gowran maiden hurdle in testing ground in September 2023; seemed to need the run on return from a long absence at Gowran last time; can be a player if improving from that. |

11st 6lb |
Gained his only hurdles win in this race a year ago, making all to win easily on good ground after 200 days off; trying to repeat that feat; also ran well here a couple of times in August before form tailed off. |

Shot up the handicap after winning by 10l over 2m2f at this track in May; some decent efforts in defeat since though was below form at Galway last time; needs his best. |

Her sole career win came in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here in September; beaten 22l in a 2m4f handicap on her belated chase debut but it wasn't a bad run. |
4/1 |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
10st 8lb |
This is a belated debut over fences but had been running well over hurdles until finding the ground too slow in her last couple of starts; whether she'll take a shine to this new discipline remains to be seen. |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 11y |

Maiden has been dropping down the handicap this year; best run came when beaten just over 7l at Fairyhouse last time over 2m; down 2lb and needs to find more up in trip. |
7/1 |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
First reserve; best run under Rules a 5.5l fifth of 11 over this C&D (gd-yld) in October after a 285 day break and 4lb lower now; pulled up when last sighted at Fairyhouse in January; worth a market check if gets in. |

15th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Has done very little racing for a horse of his age; a satisfactory run at Sligo in October suggested he might not be a lost cause; midfield in a 24-runner contest at Cork last month; hard to make a strong case. |

Maiden has been in the frame several times over hurdles but has been well below her best last two starts in this sphere; has to rebound. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 97y |
11st 0lb |
Maiden signed off for 2024 with placed efforts at Tramore (21.5f) and Downpatrick (2m6f) on good-good to yielding; disappointing efforts both starts in 2025; needs to bounce back. |

Maiden placed in three of last five runs in this sphere in 2024 (including at this venue); didn't take to chasing when pulled up at Downpatrick on return from 276 day break; needs to rebound back over timber. |

Showed little in three maiden hurdles and fell three out on handicap debut last time when 40/1; no appeal unless the market says otherwise. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
10st 5lb |
Showed next to nothing in maidens; placed on her first three handicaps before pulled up at Fairyhouse; found less than what looked likely when seventh of 16 at Tramore (2m5f) last month. |

Showed next to nothing in maidens; found the right level in handicaps; placed on her first three starts; second over 3m at Punchestown seemed very encouraging, but she failed to do herself justice when joint-favourite at Fairyhouse in January. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y |

Minor promise at Sligo on latest but beaten 13l and extended record to 0-8 over hurdles; down 1lb but this step up in trip needs to eke out a lot more. |
