12st 1lb |
Won off 6lb lower at Ballinrobe on stable debut in May; beaten off revised rating on last start in this sphere at Galway and just an okay run on the Flat at Killarney on latest; needs more off this mark. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 165y |
10st 5lb |
2-24 over hurdles and hasn't won since July 2024; best run last year came on his seasonal return at Ballinrobe when a 1.5l second off this mark and he's been freshened up after a below par run at Sligo in July; not discounted. |

Best form is over 2m and previous attempts over around 2m4f haven't worked out; can go well fresh which he again demonstrated at Ballinrobe, but not sure to back that up. |

11st 2lb |
Hasn't added to Tipperary maiden win in 2024 (2m1f, soft) but some good efforts in defeat this summer, notably Ballinrobe third (2m) and most recently second over same trip at Killarney under a prominent ride; yet to fully convince at this trip however. |

Won a Tipperary maiden hurdle in 2024 (2m1f, soft); creditable third at Ballinrobe in May (2m, good) off 2lb lower and okay effort on chasing debut at Roscommon last time when a distant third; place chance. |

Not far off Rich Belief when third at Bellewstown, has plenty to find with Rocky's Howya, but has youth on his side and possibly represents a danger to the claiming-race specialist. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last year ran his best race since when fourth in a Ballinrobe handicap in May; however, was poor at Galway since and needs to get back to best stepped up in trip. |

Maiden hurdle winner; returned from a six month with a very eye-catching effort when a staying-on fourth to Can Happen at Ballinrobe in May; has the hallmarks of one laid out for this and has the services of a decent 7lb claimer; interesting. |

Is 1-10 over hurdles and rated 104; two runs over fences; beaten 23l in a handicap chase over this C&D in January off 105; remote third behind progressive Shadow Paddy at Killarney latest; needs to improve plenty on those efforts to take this. |

Winning hurdler is 0-2 over fences but shaped like his turn was near here on penultimate when chasing home Rockonliam (19.5f, good); hampered and unseated at the first on latest at Galway; chance, but might prefer more of a stamina test. |

Was gaining a second win over hurdles when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap last month (good); 0-11 on the Flat, although some decent efforts in the spring, albeit on softer ground; cheekpieces added here and not one to dismiss as clearly in good heart. |

Ex-Irish maiden; placed on all three hurdling starts for current stable, losing out only by a short head at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) on second occasion; not bred for fences and unraced over this far but could be hard to beat in this modest race if his jumping is adequate; hooded for first time. |

0-16 but early days with this yard and he's due a 6lb rise after going down by a short head at Sedgefield ten days ago (2m1f, good); he was clear of the third that day; clear claims. |
