16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Four hurdle wins at different trips, most recently over 3m at Clonmel in November; respectable fourth here behind Ad Caleum last month but may not have been suited by tight Ballinrobe track latest; others with stronger claims. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 131y |
11st 8lb |
Dual-purpose course winner; 9.25l behind Ad Caelum and Dartan at Kilbeggan latest, weakening after being hampered at the last; is 8lb above his last win but his yard is in form and he could go well dropped slightly back in trip. |

Four-time scorer over timber has not looked like a winner in waiting in three runs in 2025; beaten 24l off 125 in a handicap hurdle here on latest; overlooked by Jack Kennedy. |

Second runner for yard; six-time winner including four over hurdles, albeit none over this far; never seen with a chance on both recent runs and much more needed. |

11st 3lb |
Last success over hurdles came in a Downpatrick maiden in July 2022; has never won a handicap of any description and hasn't looked like changing that in recent starts; new blinkers need to provide a spark. |

Went close in the 3m5f Porterstown Chase at Fairyhouse last December; out of form until running creditably over 2m6f here on Thursday; has a bit to find with third-placed Arctic Gale. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 7lb |
Five-time winner, twice over fences; enjoyed a productive summer last year, scoring over C&D in June before finishing a nose second in a valuable event in Killarney; highly tried later in the year; made mistakes and finished in rear over C&D on return. |

11st 4lb |
Five-time winner, twice over fences; enjoyed a productive summer last year, scoring over C&D in June before finishing a nose second in valuable event in Killarney; too much on his plate backend of last year and returns on an okay mark. |

Dual hurdle winner is 2-25 over fences but placed many times; lost his form over the summer but a bit better at Cork last time; needs a fair bit more. |

Was running well enough when falling two out at Downpatrick last time and has a squeak if he can find more with blinkers added. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Distant second at Punchestown two starts ago was a promising run but pulled up at Ballinrobe since; his better form has come on softer ground. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 7lb |
Four wins over hurdles (rated 130), one of them here; maiden after 10 chase starts and has had jumping issues, but was second off 120 at Roscommon last summer; only beaten 7l in Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown where he was a huge price. |
6/1 |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |

Four wins over hurdles; has never won a chase; point-to-point form nowhere near good enough. |
