10th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 65y |
10st 13lb |
Won a point and placed in a bumper; third on handicap debut at Thurles in February and bounced back to form in first-time cheekpieces when prominent throughout in winning ordinary mares' maiden at Tramore (2m, soft); got 5lb for that; has bits of form on good ground. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Point-to-point winner; improved for a switch to handicaps in February when taking a close third at Thurles (2m1f, soft to heavy), ordinary enough efforts twice since in handicaps; cheekpieces now added. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Maiden winner who appeared to be going nowhere until a revived second of 14 at Wexford (2m1f, good to yielding); nudged up 2lb for that but a greater worry would be that this is a better race. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Won a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last summer over 2m and was third in handicaps at Tramore (2m5f, good) and Galway (2m1f, good to yielding); not at same level in more recent runs, tailed off at Tramore last time (2m1f, good to yielding). |

11st 11lb |
Won a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last summer over 2m and was third in handicaps here (2m5f) and Galway (2m); likely found the ground too testing in three runs since; a chance back on a drier surface. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
11st 1lb |
Won off 6lb lower at Bellewstown last April (20.5f, good); struggled on softer ground in opening two starts this year and good ground at Sligo brought just modest improvement when sent off 11-2 j-fav'; something to prove now. |
13/1 |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Won off 9lb lower at Bellewstown last April (20.5f, good); struggled on soft ground both starts this year but could improve for quicker conditions and ran well over C&D off 2lb lower last May; interesting. |
9/1 |

9th 8 |
29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 165y |
10st 8lb |
1-13 over hurdles, the win coming at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) last year; heavy defeat at Naas latest but may have needed that; should come on for that but may be on a tough mark (11lb above win) and wants good ground. |

11st 7lb |
Beaten 20l when second of 8 on handicap debut after a 255 day absence at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy); should strip fitter now and step up in trip looks a plus on breeding; not without a chance. |

Hasn't been seen since finishing 20l behind Bossing It in Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last summer; market will reveal expectations on return/handicap debut for shrewd connections. |

11st 4lb |
Maiden's best run in four handicap starts was when third of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding) at Christmas; twice well held on more testing ground since; might go okay on likely better surface here. |

26th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 76y |

Modest form in maidens; remote fourth on handicap debut at Limerick (2m, heavy); much better when third of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding); failed to see out 2m4f on soft at Fairyhouse; drop in trip will help. |

Slow burner but has shown improved form since going handicapping and was a decisive winner at Clonmel last time over this trip; raised 10lb but could well be progressing enough to defy that. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
10st 8lb |
Kept on for third at Fairyhouse in December (2m4f, soft), although 16l behind the winner; tailed off there next time on New Year's Day (3m2f, yielding); good effort at Naas last time when a 5.25l fourth behind the winner Let's Go Mans (3m, soft to heavy); can get involved. |

10st 5lb |
Placed in all three completed starts in 2m handicaps, including when no match for easy winner at Naas (Deise Crystal fourth) last month; hood tried on that occasion is now left off; look yard's main hope and should be thereabouts again. |
