27th Apr 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 40y |
11st 7lb |
Reverted from chasing to win a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle; may have turned a corner belatedly, having been costly to follow in the past; three times a beaten favorite in consecutive outings after finishing fourth in this race last season; 10lb higher now. |

10th Apr 2023 Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
10st 0lb |
Often backed and was pretty costly to follow; travels well but can find little and latest chasing flop a big concern (mistakes); risky; in-form rider eye-catching, 2-9 chasing; 1lb out of handicap; illustrated fine yard form with 10s maiden hurdle win at Fairyhouse yesterday; participation must be in doubt but the one to beat on that evidence. |

Two time winner over hurdles; last win came at Fairyhouse last October for James Barrett off 109 (2m, good); a pair of okay runs over hurdles this summer but needs to bounce back from a poor run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last month; contender if she does so. |

Runner-up in the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle here (2m4f, heavy) in March 2024; 0-6 over fences but he returned to form when third in a big-field handicap at Leopardstown (extended 2m5f, soft) last month, when shaping as though this first crack at a staying trip could be right up his street. |

Out of form this year but his run at Downpatrick in June was a positive when a 1.25l second of nine (2m2f, yielding to soft); didn't build on that at Galway last time when well beaten (2m1f, good); different headgear combination tried but needs to bounce back. |

Dual hurdle winner has run well in defeat here and was running well on second chase start at Tipperary last year when making a bad mistake at the last; not easy to fancy on last two runs. |

Won twice over hurdles in 2024, showing useful form; however, has been pulled-up over fences in both runs since but is likely to do better back to this sphere . |
