13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Raced 11 times over hurdles and plenty of experience is never a bad thing in this race; however, he's won only three of those and finished tailed off behind Doctor Steinberg when 40-1 last time; tongue-tie enlisted. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 53y |
11st 10lb |
Won a 3m Wexford handicap (good) off a modest 98 last July; beaten off 12lb higher at Listowel before making spectacular progress to achieve a mark of 135 as a result of a pair of 3m wins at Cork; those were on good/yielding, and these conditions are not certain to suit; if he handles it, stamina will not be a issue. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
It was never in doubt when showing huge improvement in a Grade 3 at Cork (3m, soft to heavy) and when a disappointing favourite for a Grade 2 at Warwick there were apparent excuses; career best needed and by some way, but trainer's reputation speaks for itself; couldn't rule out. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
May have gained an advantage by sticking to the inside rail in Grade 3 novice at Cork (3m, soft to heavy) in December but she was firmly in control of that race from a long way out and is now 2-3 over hurdles; will be hard to beat if she's as good over this shorter trip. |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 100y |
10st 7lb |
Limerick bumper winner off the mark at the first attempt over hurdles in a Listowel maiden in September (2m6f, yld-sft); from a good family (dam half-sister to Faugheen) so connections will be keen to pick up some black type and she should be up to the task. |

Rated 137; won a Punchestown maiden (2m3f, soft) and a Navan novice (22.5f, soft) last spring; came up short in 3m Grade 1 novice when last seen at Punchestown in April; remains a stayer with potential and is the one to beat. |

10st 9lb |
Dual point-to-point winner and off the mark over hurdles in 2m4f Clonmel mares' maiden in October; better form in novice events since, latest when third in 2m3f Grade 3 Fairyhouse contest last month on heavy; lots to find in this deeper race. |

Dual point-to-point winner and off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt in a Clonmel mares' maiden (2m4f, yielding) in October; better form in novice events since, latest when third in Punchestown Listed mares; lots more needed here though does go on heavy. |

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. |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 100y |

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. |

Three point wins; has shown some ability over hurdles and was only 9.5l behind in a Cork 3m handicap last time having been hampered; can do better and considered. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

Three-time point-to-point winner ran respectably in two of her three maiden hurdles but 33-1 and pulled up on handicap hurdle debut at Fairyhouse (3m2f, yielding) on New Year's Day; off since and 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Definite promise last season in a Naas bumper (18.5f, sft-hvy) and when meeting traffic problems in a 2m3f Clonmel maiden hurdle (heavy); last run in April in a Fairyhouse bumper too bad to be true; lacks a recent run, stamina to prove and might prefer softer ground than this. |

Runner-up in a bumper at Naas (soft/heavy) and was close up in a Clonmel maiden hurdle despite not enjoying the best of runs at various stages; shouldn't be underestimated. |
