9st 5lb |
Last season ended well with wins at Fairyhouse (1m6f), York (2m handicap) and a handicap hurdle at Tipperary; only eighth of 11 on his comeback run at Killarney but a mile was way too short for him; better expected, though others might be better treated. |

10st 2lb |
Had an excellent campaign last season, winning his last three runs in a row (two on Flat one over hurdles); those Flat wins, including a heritage handicap at York, came at 1m6f and 2m; this will surely be too sharp a test on his return. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Won last year's 2m2f Ulster Cesarewitch and never better than when second in the C&D Trial three weeks ago, setting sail for home 4f out but unable to shake off Grand Providence; rarely seen on softer than good (had some soft-ground form in 2021); otherwise looks set to go well. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won last year's 2m2f Ulster Cesarewitch; ran creditably twice at the Curragh this summer before strong-finishing second to Extensio at Clonmel; held up for those runs but last year's success came when ridden much more prominently; may need a new personal best but she has proved her stamina and makes plenty of appeal. |

Three-time Flat winner; last success was in 2021; hard to take any encouragement from his Flat/hurdles form this year. |

Three-time Flat winner is just 1-32 over hurdles; fourth at Wexford in April but has been below that twice since and others make more appeal. |

9st 7lb |
Three Flat wins include over 2m1f at Killarney and more recently 2m AW success in March; back from a break with encouraging third (Party Dress second) in Leopardstown lady riders' handicap last month; one to consider. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Dual-purpose gelding snapped a long losing run at Dundalk (2m) in March; seen just twice since and has failed to replicate that effort; questions to answer for now. |

Strong stayer has won at up to 2m1f; got the better of Palamon by 1.5l over 2m on AW in March but was well behind that rival from 8lb worse off at Gowran on latest; might prefer further than this these days. |

Nine wins in all spheres with the last of those coming in a Thurles handicap chase last December; poor the last twice over hurdles including behind Happy Jacky at Cork; has to rebound |

Flat winner who is now useful over hurdles and fences; runner-up over 2m4f at Clonmel before not staying 3m at Cork; exposed but shouldn't be far away. |
