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. |

1-17 over timber and rated 109; always behind when beaten 77l on sole chase start at Leopardstown in March (21.5f, yielding); mid-field in Punchestown handicap hurdle latest; others make more appeal. |

Heavy-ground maiden hurdle winner at Limerick (2m) in November; seemed to handle quicker ground when a 7.5l runner up at Kilbeggan latest (16.5f, gd-yld); place shout again off 1lb higher for yard with good record here. |

11st 7lb |
Tramore maiden hurdle winner in late 2023 and best of two recent runs over fences came at same venue last month when rallying third (In The Trenches fifth) in 2m novice handicap chase; could be capable of better over fences so one to consider. |

Won a maiden hurdle here in November 2023 but no joy since; not disgraced on chase debut at Clonmel (2m, soft) last month but doesn't look obviously well treated for first handicap chase. |

Won back-to-back races over hurdles last year but lost form subsequently and has since left Tony Mullins; off since January and best watched on stable and chase debut. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Major improvement since switched to handicaps, winning at Naas and Clonmel over approximately 2m and a fine effort in a Cork novice since; tougher task today up in trip but has a chance if staying. |

Two chase wins in 2024 (including a novice over C&D) but it has been slim pickings since then; no joy in 2025 and modest run at Wexford on return from a break on latest; on a dangerous mark but needs a revival. |
22/1 |

11st 7lb |
Shaped well at Tipperary last May in his first hunter chase; failed to match that form in races at Limerick and Thurles during the winter; form of his point-to-point wins does not amount to much; however, he is sure to know his job coming from this source. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 184y |
12st 0lb |
Decent pedigree and represents top connections; second in a point last March; made the running before weakening to finish well-beaten third in a novice hunter chase on rules debut at Tipperary last May; Limerick run at Christmas was too bad to be true, unplaced favourite for the race in which Nibbles was third; seems risky but could feature. |

A maiden whose best hurdle run came when second on return at Bellewstown last time over 2m1f; is one to consider on chasing debut with the market a guide. |

Long-standing maiden until joining yard last summer and then went back-to-back at Wexford in July/August; well beaten at the festival here on next start and has struggled since; better ground will help and she's 1lb lower than last winning mark. |

Won here over hurdles in February (15.5f, heavy) and sent off favourite for 19.5f course handicap chase on latest when a never-threatening fourth; has a bit to find but the drop in trip should help. |

10st 7lb |
Placed twice over hurdles two seasons ago; moderate form over fences until much improved when second at Wexford in March on her stable debut; was well backed then, and recovered losses when even-money favourite at Tramor last month; excellent chance off a similarly low hurdles mark; stable in form. |
7/4 |

Produced her best handicap run to date on stable debut in a Wexford chase (19.5f, soft) on latest when attracting market support; 3lb higher now but this shorter trip should suit on that evidence; chance. |
