1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Point-to-point (3m) and Killarney maiden hurdle (20.5f) winner; may have needed the run on handicap chase debut when beaten 19.5l at Tramore (2m6f, gd-yld) a month ago but suspicion this trip may be on the sharp side. |

Comes with a point-to-point background; showed nice level of improvement over hurdles to ultimately win 20.5f Killarney maiden; ran a nice race on handicap debut when last seen off 16lb higher hurdles mark; 239-day absence; player. |

Some promise in his maiden over 2m-2m4f on varying ground; always behind when upped to 3m2f for his handicap debut at Sligo; needs to bounce back. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 172y |

Showed a bit of promise in qualifying runs over 2m-2m4f on varying ground; big step up in trip could suit on handicap debut and opening mark looks reasonable; lacks a recent run but worth a market check. |

Was mixing hurdles and fences last year, winning a Galway chase in October before a hurdles second at Tramore; up 3lb for that run so will need to be ready on return to defy that. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 73y |

Won a handicap hurdle at Wexford last summer and several promising efforts this year, including over timber at Roscommon in August when only finding one too good; may have won that without a bad mistake late and arrives on the back of a facile success over fences at Galway on Tuesday; should go well from lower hurdle mark. |

Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences and hasn't been out of the first three in his last six starts around here; three wins over fences last year; disappointing favourite over hurdles at Cork but returns from a break racing from 14lb lower hurdles mark; should go well. |

Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle at Listowel (2m, good) last month but she struggled back in handicap chase last time; now returns to hurdling but she's hard to predict and her last win was in October 2024; others are more convincing. |
