Two-time winner over hurdles; handicapped on his third to Uxmal at Tramore last year; might be high enough on his handicap debut. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Close second over fences at Catterick in January (1m7f, good) but mainly poor efforts since, the latest in a selling hurdle. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Three hurdle wins in Ireland during 2023 but a close second over fences at Catterick (about 1m7f, good) in January came from out of the blue and hasn't been repeated since; returns to hurdles with a cloud hanging over him. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Seemingly back in good form when close second to short-odds favourite at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, his third start for Joanne Foster, but pulled up there twice since and now has it all to prove again; tongue-tie (worn on penultimate start) refitted. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 87y |
11st 9lb |
Point-to-point winner and maiden hurdle scorer for Gavin Cromwell at Downpatrick two years ago; not great in runs since and returned from break/made stable debut at Galway on the Flat last month when tailed off. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 43y |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 110y |
11st 9lb |
Downpatrick maiden winner last September but form afterwards largely disappointing until encouraging comeback run at Listowel, staying on well over 2m4f; step up in trip could suit. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Irish challenger is on a long losing run but she posted a good second of nine in 2m5f Downpatrick handicap hurdle 23 days ago; up 4lb but very much one to consider. |
11/4 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 10lb |
AW/hurdle winner; remote second on her latest Flat run (1m4f) but she went close here in May over 2m3f and she's worth a go over this far. |
8/1 |

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Dual-purpose mare; without a win since August 2023; made the frame twice over hurdles in May; fair record on AW (1-13, placed six times), not as effective on turf though she has had few opportunities. |

9th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 0f 7y |
11st 1lb |
1-22 over hurdles; C&D win early last year came out of the blue; has failed to show similar form since; pulled up at Clonmel last month on first run since last May. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 0y |

Lost form since Naas win (2m, soft) just over a year ago off 86; suspect stayer and hard to be confident in. |

Regressive on the Flat and well beaten in a 2m handicap on his only recent start over hurdles; safe to look elsewhere. |
