13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Dual bumper/hurdles winner over 2m/2m1f, most recently at Ayr in January; steadily run Listed race didn't pan out favourably last time; bred to be suited by this new trip on handicap debut, remains open to further progress and is 1-1 under Josh Williamson; reasons to be positive. |

11st 12lb |
Two-time bumper winner who was second to smart prospect over C&D (heavy) last month before going one better at Tramore (2m1f, soft) on New Year's Day, when clear with the odds-on favourite; leading claims under penalty. |

10st 13lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles; won easily off 9lb lower at Fairyhouse in November (20.5f, yld-sft); ran better than the bare result off this mark at Punchestown latest (raced wide); best form on soft, however, so could do with plenty of rain. |

Won a Fairyhouse handicap in November but was poor twice since over hurdles and once over fences; little appeal from 2lb out of the handicap; blinkers. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 10lb |
Bled in this last year; good form in first two starts for this yard at Killarney in the summer and creditable third of 17 in valuable 2m4f veterans' contest at Haydock last month; chance on that form. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 4lb |
Last win came at Killarney last summer but retains level of ability judged on recent Haydock veterans' handicap third (good), best run for some time; whether or not he can back that up against more progressive types is debatable. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 55y |
11st 3lb |
Winner of a maiden hurdle at this track in January 2024 (2m, soft); best run since then was last time at this track again when third of 18 in a valuable handicap chase (2m4f, yielding); hasn't looked a natural jumper of a fence but appears to have a liking for this place and capable of a big run. |

Placed five times in a row last summer/autumn on goodish ground up to 2m4f, including in big fields; sequence ended when tailed off at Cheltenham in November (2m5f, soft); place chance if her consistent form returns. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 12lb |
Off the mark in a Roscommon maiden hurdle last September (15.5f, gd-yld); respectable run on handicap debut here in November (19.5f, heavy) but disappointed in a stronger race at Limerick (2m, sft-hvy) when last seen; may do better back on a sounder surface. |

Is 0-9 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles for Alan King, though his Flat form was useful; finished third of 20 on debut for Willie Mullins when made favourite for a handicap hurdle at Galway; good chance. |

Rated 106 over hurdles; was beaten when falling in sole chase start in a Tramore novice (2m, soft); 8l fifth in handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest (16.5f, gd-yld); stamina in pedigree so could improve for this longer trip but others preferred. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Made a good impression when third at Fairyhouse first time (2m, soft to heavy); failed to repeat that until taking the second spot at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, yielding); not the most fluent jumper but in the mix with improvement. |

2nd 10 |
18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Made a good impression when third at Fairyhouse first time (2m, soft to heavy); failed to reproduce that form at the same venue on her second start or at Punchestown subsequently in a first-time hood; lacked jumping fluency at Navan on handicap debut when a 10.5l sixth of 12; others preferred. |
