19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims. |

Won over fences at Gowran and hurdles here in February but was below form over fences at Limerick since; has a lot to find against some of these rivals; due to run in the 6.42 at Limerick on Tuesday. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
11st 10lb |
Attracted heavy market support at Cork last time (2m3f, good) but could only manage fifth; punters likely attracted by now 19lb lower hurdles mark, but dual chase winner is yet to match that form in this sphere; may want softer ground than this. |
7/1 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 0lb |
Much improved sent chasing last season, winning twice (including here); sent off favourite over hurdles at Thurles and fences at Leopardstown when below best; again couldn't take advantage of significantly lower hurdles mark here last time (2m1f, yielding) when tailed off; attractive mark but clearly risky. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 20y |
12st 0lb |
Much-improved when sent chasing last season, winning two of his four starts after joining this stable; sent off favourite for last two starts over hurdles/fences when below best; may prove equal to the task if at his best off much lower hurdle mark. |

14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 67y |
11st 2lb |
Debut bumper winner last season is 0-7 hurdling but comes into the race on the back of two good runs in handicaps at this trip on soft; bit keen on latest so fitting of a hood could help and seems sure to be thereabouts. |

28th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 0y |

Bumper winner; 0-6 over hurdles but latest 3l third at Thurles (2m4f, soft) is up there with her best form and must have every chance with a repeat of that. |

Won a 2m1f Killarney handicap last October when returning from an even longer absence; later showed that she can cope with this higher mark; possibilities if bouncing back from some lesser efforts. |

Three-time hurdles winner on good to yielding; finished 0.75l behind Spick And Span at Clonmel (2m4f, yielding) before stepping up in trip at Tipperary last time to record a very easy victory (23.5f, good to yielding); up 7lb now and drops back in trip. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y |

Dual hurdles winner is now 7lb below last winning mark; won at Ballinrobe in July last year (2m1f, good to yielding); winner of a beginners' chase here in March over extended 2m; out of form following that; modest third at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, soft). |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 5y |

Two hurdle wins include 2m2f handicap here last summer off 103, more recently won Clonmel beginners' chase in March; recent hurdles form however leaves her with plenty to find. |
