13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y |
11st 0lb |
Talented in his prime; however, last hurdles success was in November 2023; decent chaser, but sole win was in a three-runner event two seasons ago; won a Flat maiden last year; not disgraced in the Galway Plate; fair third in a conditions hurdle at Galway last month; once rated in the 150s; current 139 mark gives him a good chance in theory. |

Very talented over hurdles in his pomp but hasn't won over timber since November 2023; not disgraced in the Plate here back in July but needs to rediscover his best now returned to hurdling. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 13lb |
Smart staying hurdler/chaser who made a mistake at the wrong time when beaten about 18l in this 12 months ago when 5lb higher; failed to threaten afterwards in both disciplines, and again in a recent run on the Flat; others appeal more. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 0lb |
Three-time hurdles winner rated 138 in that discipline; not too much to get excited about so far chasing, never counting last twice in handicaps over much further; down markedly in trip here off potentially favourable mark. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 0lb |
Three-time hurdles winner has shown modest chase form to date. including in his first handicap chase last time when beaten 17.5l by Goraibhmaithagat here (2m4f, heavy) at 40-1; best watched for the moment. |
22/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Sustained improvement as a handicap hurdler in 2023/2024 season, winning first three starts in 2m4f Navan contests (soft to heavy); modest chase form in three runs to date; makes handicap chase debut (10lb lower mark than hurdles) now so may do better. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Prolific pointer (7-8 strike-rate) who won twice under rules last season, latterly on chase debut at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) in March; not favoured by these weights and has fitness to prove after seven-month break but should be fine on the faster ground. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-10 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m5f at Newton Abbot in October (good to soft; 7lb lower); two further good runs afterwards before finishing tailed off the last time; a record of 7-8 in points bodes well for this switch to fences. |

Sole win came in 2m6f Tramore handicap hurdle on New Year's Day (soft), absent since well held at same venue in April in first-time cheekpieces (now left off); chase debut and probably wants it softer. |

24th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles but bettered her low-key handicap debut (2m1f) when close third of six over C&D (good) last month; remains very unexposed over this sort of trip and might be seen to better effect if today's race is run at a stronger pace. |

Ran some decent races without really threatening the judge for Tom Gibney; good effort when beaten 5.75L off 89 at Wexford over 2m in March 2023 and 3lb lower now; back from almost a year off; could go well if fit on first run for new yard; wears usual tongue tie. |

Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |
