21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Handicap hurdle winner on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe in May; made a pleasing Flat debut when a strong-finishing second to an odds-on shot in a 1m4f Bellewstown amateur riders' event early last month; finished in mid-field in a handicap hurdle at Galway. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 13lb |
Got off the mark on his first start for the stable in a first-time tongue-tie when landing a 2m handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; emerged with plenty of credit when a good runner-up to a useful performer on the Flat at Bellewstown since; plenty of weight but should make his presence felt. |

Was third over 2m at Ballinrobe but might have found 2m3f too far at Punchestown since; record of 2-23 over hurdles, so others preferred. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 12y |

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. |

2nd 11 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 1lb |
Is 6lb lower than when gaining second win over hurdles at Tipperary in July 2024; soundly beaten off 100 when last seen at Down Royal in December; 1lb lower now and has gone well fresh, so not dismissed in first-time cheekpieces. |

1-10 over hurdles but without a win since scoring in a Tipperary maiden (16.5f, soft) in October 2024; not a bad run at Cork on penultimate (2m4f, yielding) but didn't back it up at Punchestown latest; others look more solid. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 11lb |
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. |
8/1 |

4th 5 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |

Modest on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles, the win coming in a Kilbeggan maiden in April 2025 (15.5f, gd-yld); heavy ground not ideal the last twice; could improve for this sounder surface. |

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. |

Inconsistent sort; won off 7lb lower here in May; down the field on her next two starts; a clear second, 11l in front of today's rival Granlahan, at Kilbeggan on penultimate start; failed to reproduce that form at the same venue two weeks later. |

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. |
