Stays well; runner-up in a Sligo handicap hurdle and a 2m7f maiden hurdle here last autumn; not much to recommend of late, including in a Galway handicap chase last time. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |
11st 8lb |
Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford. |

Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore over 2m before a good third of 12 at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding); her last win in this discipline came last year off 105 at Navan (2m, heavy). |

Followed up a handicap hurdle win on New Year's Day with a first chase success at Clonmel in February but lesser form in two runs since; his mark might be on the high side at present. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
10st 13lb |
Won a couple of Fairyhouse chases last year (2m5f/3m) and handles goodish ground; last month's hurdling fourth probably a prep for this; can race close to the pace. |

Three wins apiece over hurdles and fences; was a 7l runner-up at Navan in a 2m4f handicap hurdle in November but pulled-up at Leopardstown next time; a squeak if back to form. |

11st 7lb |
Gained his third chase win in a Fairyhouse handicap (24.5f, yielding) three weeks ago; raised 5lb for that 1.5l victory so he'll need a career best to follow up off his new mark. |

Former C&D winner won at Down Royal off a mark of 109 in May; below par at Roscommon off 5lb higher subsequently and then pulled up here two weeks ago; hard to fancy after that effort and may need to drop back down the weights. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 110y |

Nicely on top over 3m2f at Down Royal (good; 5lb lower) but her jumping didn't really stand the test in Roscommon's Connacht National; each-way claims if finding greater fluency this afternoon. |

Won over C&D in August on good ground; poor run at Listowel next time but a fine run at Killarney since even though he finished lame; should be a player again. |

Much improved when winning over 3m1f at Sligo and trainer's son negates 5lb hike but vulnerable back in trip. |
