Odds-on winner of a 2m Tramore maiden last August on his ninth start over hurdles; subsequently left Martin Brassil; failed to stay when tried over an extended 3m in a handicap at Punchestown on his first start for this stable; this should suit much better. |

Juvenile form was decent; obtained ample experience, if somewhat frustrating; in theory his Cheltenham sixth when last seen should be enough here but far from convinced he'll show his best. |

1-10 over hurdles when trained by Gordon Elliott and rated 102; won a handicap at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) last July off 97; off since heavy defeat at Wexford later that month and is probably best watched on debut for new yard. |

Couple of decent runs in maidens, including at Tramore last time; opening mark looks high enough though. |

50s second at Downpatrick in June gives him a chance (third won since); ran a shocker on stable debut lately and its form (5-139 this season) remains a concern. |

Well beaten on maiden hurdle debut at Ballinrobe but improved significantly when runner-up at Downpatrick next time; the winner was well beaten since but 3rd home has won; more to come and a major player; new yard. |

Ran a nice race when a 6l fourth off 92 at Wexford on his penultimate start, his best effort to date in handicap hurdles; didn't back that up at the same track on latest and cheekpieces are now reached for; chance if reproducing his Wexford fourth. |

7th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 160y |

Showed ability in first maiden hurdle run at Tramore (2m, soft) when beaten 6.5L; no impact on handicap debut on return from a break at Punchestown but shaped well for a long way when fourth, beaten 6L, in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at this track four weeks ago; same mark today and big chance if building on that; tongue tie is retained. |

Good form for Shane Nolan in 2024; missed 2025; better again early this year for this stable, backing up Down Royal win with decisive 2m2f Leopardstown success; was 2lb wrong in a strong handicap at Fairyhouse at Easter. |

In good form last year for Shane Nolan and better again this year in cheekpieces, backing up Down Royal success with decisive 2m2f Leopardstown success last month under hold-up tactics; up an aggregate of 19lb so more needed from 2lb out of handicap but in such good form has to be respected. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |

In good form last year for Shane Nolan, winning off 98 at Limerick and running well in defeat off revised mark subsequently; seemed well suited by good ground at that stage, but proved she handles soft when a stylish winner at Down Royal six weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces; reversed previous Cork form with Catchabird. |

3-26 over hurdles; runner up the last twice, off 5lb lower at Leopardstown and then off 3lb lower at Cork when 1.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme; weighted to turn that around but may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts. |

Winning point-to-pointer is 0-8 over hurdles but took a step in the right direction at Clonmel last month when third (Ashdale Flyer 10l away) to a stablemate, having made much of the running; unproven over this far but good chance she'll stay. |
