24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Back-to-back wins over similar trips to this last September and on good or yielding ground that he's not had in his last four races; however, current wellbeing is an issue and so too the blinkers in which he was tailed off last time when first fitted. |

Five-time winner on turf who wasn't beaten far in pair of C&D handicaps last season; no impression in two winter AW spins; capable of getting involved back on turf; handles underfoot conditions. |

Naas success over a mile in July was the furthest he's won over; recent efforts over further below best and will appreciate return to this trip; decent fourth at Gowran on Monday (4.19). |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
0-12 under all codes when based in Ireland and ran very poorly in a chase on last month's stable debut; reverts to hurdling with first-time visor fitted; will be suited by the trip/ground here but has more to prove than all his rivals. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-12 under all codes when based in Ireland; battled on well to snatch modest third of 15 at Wexford (3m1f, good) last month and is still unexposed over fences but others have more pressing claims here; blinkers removed for this stable debut. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |

Maiden's best run came when second in 3m2f Sligo handicap hurdle (good) last summer; back from 198-day absence when well held twice in recent handicap chases and needs to improve loads to feature although yard back in form so don't rule out. |
