14th Jul 2023 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won his third hurdle race when taking a Thurles handicap in March over 3m; however, has been way below that level since and best watched on chasing debut. |

Ran no race at Fairyhouse last time but he did it nicely at Thurles the time before (3m, soft) and has won on yielding ground; couldn't discount. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 12lb |
His three hurdle wins came at Fairyhouse on good ground at 2m4f-3m but nothing since late 2024; some cracking runs in defeat though, including when third off this mark at Cork (3m, yielding); challenging for the lead when unseated at the third last at Wexford last time; down to an attractive mark. |

His three hurdle wins have come at Fairyhouse up to this trip; has run some cracking races in defeat including third off this mark at Cork last time; a player with a repeat. |

30th Jan 2024 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Two wins over hurdles, the most recent over 3m at Thurles nearly two years ago; seasonal best on return to his original trainer when second over 3m at this venue after Christmas; unplaced in a handicap of a higher standard at Fairyhouse last time; stablemate Bal De Rio is marginally better suited by the race conditions but lacks a recent run. |

Two wins over hurdles include over this trip at Thurles nearly two years ago; seasonal-best on return to original trainer when second over this trip at Limerick over Christmas on heavy; 3lb rise for that so more needed. |

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 123) at around 2m4f on soft/heavy; absent since pulled up after never travelling at Fairyhouse in February but has run well fresh so don't rule out on chase debut. |

Won this last year off 7lb lower and some decent efforts in defeat afterwards; however, he might need this first run since August. |

Improved mare won handicaps at Galway and Listowel this term; might not have stayed 2m7f at Limerick last time and the drop to this trip should suit, so looks a player. |

11st 5lb |
Three-time course winner, twice over fences in 2023 and won over hurdles here in April; struggled in a better race than this over C&D latest; this easier and can't be dismissed given his liking for this venue. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
10st 0lb |
Kilbeggan specialist with a couple of handicap chase wins in 2023 (including this race) and landed 2m2f handicap hurdle in April; fair third off higher chase mark at Ballinrobe since; 3lb wrong here but respected given his record here. |
13/2 |

3rd 7 |
26th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 136y |

Gained his tenth success (and first for this stable) when taking a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Kilbeggan a month ago; most recent chase run saw him finish second to Flash De Touzaine at Limerick on stable debut; good chance he can reverse that form and go close in the process. |

Not the horse he once was but coming down the handicap to a more competitive mark; stayed on decently to finish fourth in a Down Royal handicap last month; off the same mark here and could go well. |

Once smart Flat horse hasn't won over hurdles in a long time although some promise on latest at Roscommon in re-fitted cheekpieces when nearest at finish over this trip; seems to be down to a competitive mark. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Unable to justify prominence in the betting when well beaten at Kelso (2m5f, good) this month and remains without a win since 2021; others have much more appealing profiles. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Soundly beaten over 3m here this month and remains without a win since Irish maiden success in 2021; continues to slide down the weights and may benefit from this drop back in trip but still makes only limited appeal. |
