Progressive 2m hurdler last season; second to stablemate Mister Policeman on chase debut at Fairyhouse in November; now 19lb better off but hard to be confident based on subsequent form; some encouragement from last week's Perth second, potentially well handicapped |

Point winner in 2020; won a maiden and novice hurdle at Navan in the opening months of 2021; ran only once the following season and only twice last season, when soundly beaten in third in races at Navan and Gowran; still young enough to make an impact over fences but needs further than this. |

Won a 2m Limerick maiden hurdle by 12l in January; four decent runs in defeat in conditions races over hurdles before being given a break; rated 120 over hurdles, so should be able to pay her way over fences. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Second in a C&D handicap chase last year; very solid efforts in Listed contests at Leopardstown and Punchestown before a disappointing effort in the Mayo National; a definite player if he comes back to his previous form. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |

Just 1-17 over fences and that 3m1f victory at Kilbeggan was in 2024; beaten a head at Limerick last year and a neck in Listed contest at Leopardstown in March, and has crept up the ratings as a result; another decent effort at Punchestown last time when Cobden got to know him. |

Sole chase win came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in 2024 but career-best on latest when just failing to get up in 2m6f Leopardstown handicap in March (yielding-to-soft), his first run since August; should go well. |

Maiden hasn't troubled the judge in three runs since return from a 527 day layoff; jumping often an issue, though she was hampered when unseating latest; others appeal more. |

Yet to make much of an impact under rules with lack of fluency in jumping a consistent issue; tailed off in two starts following 527-day break, although slight improvement last time; others bring more pressing claims. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fell and tailed off in his two previous chases in late 2023; lightly raced in the meantime but returns to this discipline after three solid runs over hurdles, all handicaps from 2m1f to 2m4f; likely to go well again if he still fancies fences. |
100/30 |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 20y |

Over four years since he won back-to-back handicap hurdles for Brian Hamilton; lightly raced in recent seasons; bounced back to form on second start for Noel Kelly when second to Kalsman over 2m4f at Down Royal last month; notched another second behind the improving Bella Union over 2m1f at Down Royal on latest; may go one better now. |
