6th Sep 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Winner over hurdles and debuted over fences at Roscommon last month when well behind Presenting Lad; likely to do better back over flights and not one to dismiss. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 114y |
11st 12lb |
119-rated maiden hurdle winner; mixing hurdling and the Flat this season; below par efforts on the level at Gowran and over timber at Ballinrobe (2m1f good to yielding) last two starts; chasing debut and related to a number of winners over fences; don't discount. |

Sole win in either code came on the AW over 2m in January but career-best when strong-finishing close second in Gowran handicap over this trip on Wednesday, having allowed winner first run; Keane now takes over and obvious claims off same mark. |

Dual purpose; course Flat winner hasn't won a handicap hurdle since 2022 and made an inauspicious start for this yard when failing to beat a rival on the Flat at Limerick; will strip fitter now but others preferred. |

Dual-purpose veteran has won eight races including four on turf on the Flat; not a bad run on final start for Ian O'Connor in a Cork handicap hurdle in November; off since and entitled to need this on first run for Charles Coakley. |

0-31 over hurdles and 0-51 overall; has shown some bits and bobs of form this season and is suited by this C&D but still makes only limited appeal from 5lb out of the weights. |

Off the mark under this rider at Tramore 12 days ago and 6lb rise is fair but unproven on this sort of ground; now tried with first-time tongue-tie. |

Dual-purpose maiden has been below form of late hurdling; hasn't run on the Flat in over a year and hard to be confident in; 3lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |
