Tongue-tie seemed to help when he beat Lunar Landscape at Bellewstown on his eighth start over hurdles; up 6lb now, probably vulnerable. |

Second reserve; 0-13 on the Flat and winless from seven over hurdles, including when falling at the sixth at Cork last time; two Flat runs this season do nothing to excite and 3lb wrong. |

Fourth at Ballinrobe was reasonably encouraging; backed that up with second to Crypto Crash at Bellewstown; does not need to improve much to win in this grade. |

Dual-purpose maiden ran his best race yet over hurdles at Ballinrobe 16 days ago when a 2l fourth of 15; could arguably have finished closer only for being squeezed out at the second last; enters calculations now off 1lb higher. |

Off the mark in decisive fashion at Cork on latest, beating Surviving Murmansk by 3.75l; 6lb rise for that seems reasonable and it looked like he had plenty in hand; likely to go well again. |

Pick of form when runner-up in 2m Punchestown handicap in May (good-to-yielding), two recent Kilbeggan runs not without merit; one to consider. |

Attracted support at Down Royal in early May, let down by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown nine days later; failed to build on that at this venue next time, this longer trip may suit him better. |

Runner-up in a heavy ground Flat maiden for Donnacha O'Brien; third in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle over 2m3f his best effort over hurdles but comes here on the back of a reasonable run in a Dundalk Flat handicap; any rain that falls should suit. |
9/2 |

3rd 10 (6) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Fit from hurdling, though he has shown a modest standard of form; ran in three Flat maidens for Donnacha O'Brien last season; by far his best run when 6l second to Amplitude (now rated 79) on heavy ground at Gowran; rated 69, may improve on first Flat attempt beyond 1m2f |

10th 14 |
26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |

Maiden has mostly run well this year; beaten just 2l when runner up at Tramore in May; beaten similar distances on last three starts and needs to find a bit more to get her head in front; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn last time. |
9/1 |
|
4th 13 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |

0-21 but some reasons for hope in her runs this season; was a 2l second at Tramore in May (2m, good) and okay efforts at Cork (2m2f, good) when fifth of 23 and when third of ten over C&D last time (good); more needed to win but definite place possibilities. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |

Similar RPRs in mid 80s in three maiden hurdles last year at 2m-2m1f on varying ground; three decent runs on the Flat since joining this yard so won't lack for fitness in first handicap hurdle; market check advised. |
