5th Feb 2023 Yielding 2m 1f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Very experienced mare; best form has been over further than this, including when winning over an extended 2m4f at Thurles on her penultimate start; others preferred. |

3rd 1 |
26th Dec 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
12st 6lb |
Won her fourth race when readily beating Rebel Early in a Thurles handicap hurdle last time; however, was hit with an 8lb rise for that and will need a career best to defy it. |

3rd Nov 2022 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 84y |

Top-weight returned from spell chasing when well held in very valuable 2m7f handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival; back from a break to win Curragh charity race on the level last week so no fitness concerns and ground no problem. |

1st Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
In fine form since returning from points' in March, relishing stamina trips to win at Kilbeggan both over hurdles and last week in 3m1f handicap chase under confident ride; feasibly still on a workable mark and likely major player again back hurdling. |
11/4 |
|
1st 1 |
25th Aug 2023 Good 3m 1f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Won over hurdles here (3m) in April before a decent run on chasing debut in a Limerick handicap; solid in defeat back over hurdles the last twice and is likely to run her race. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
7th Aug 2023 Good 2m 2f 150y |
12st 0lb |
Three-time point winner and off the mark under rules in 3m Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in April; backed that up with good runs in defeat at Limerick and Downpatrick but not sure this drop in trip will suit. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |
3/1 |
|
4th 3 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish; yet to win for new yard, but fair second of five at Lingfield when dropped back to 2m last time (heavy); should improve on back at 2m4f. |

8th 14 |
23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

18/1 |
|
6th 13 |
15th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 185y |

9yo who has had a lot of racing and steered clear of fences since finishing fourth of seven at Clonmel two years ago; however, was running well before finishing second in a claiming hurdle last time and he's now with John McConnell. |

Second runner for yard; dual-purpose; 3-26 over hurdles and rated 98; in good form on the AW in recent weeks and ran well on his only previous visit to this track; goes on any ground, notable jockey booking and not without a chance. |

Killarney specialist, scene of four of his five wins; not one of his better runs when joint-favourite at that venue last time; Colin Keane up again, so should not be ruled out. |
