13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Is 0-16 over hurdles and rated 100 in that sphere; nonetheless, his 9l fifth of nine at Killarney last month was one of his better efforts (2m5f, good); fences need to bring improvement. |

0-15 over hurdles and rated 100; has a few placed efforts to his name in maidens, but pulled up at Wexford on latest and needs to bounce back. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
No luck in handicap hurdles since a Fairyhouse win in February; big task on chasing debut. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
11st 2lb |
6lb higher than for February's Fairyhouse win but hasn't been that far away at Cork in his last two races (2m4f/3m); does look handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 10lb |
2-4 over hurdles but remains a maiden over fences after nine runs and yet to trouble the judge; well held behind a few of these rivals in the Connacht National last time and a 3lb drop is not enough to tempt; preferred by Townend. |
33/1 |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |
10st 13lb |
Maiden and novice hurdle winner is 0-8 over fences and yet to finish in the first three; didn't run too badly in grade 3 handicap at the DRF in February but beaten 45l and pulled up both starts since; stamina to prove for this trip too; others preferred. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
10st 11lb |
Maiden hurdle winner made a very pleasing start to her chasing career at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) when a 0.5l second of 12 on return from 283 days off under a positive ride; obvious chance if building on that. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Won a 2m6f maiden hurdle at this meeting last year but was poor in a Galway handicap next time; absent since and needs to improve significantly for this chasing debut. |
