22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Won this last year off 121 (yielding-to-soft) and and enjoying a fine season back hurdling, winning two handicaps at Punchestown on good-to-yielding and yielding; out of depth at Leopardstown early this month but top-weight has to be respected back chasing in repeat bid. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season, winning two handicap hurdles at Punchestown, over 2m4f (good to yielding) in October and 2m3f (yielding) in December; beaten 24l off 127 at Fairyhouse last time (2m4f, heavy); would receive 27lb from El Fabiolo in a handicap rather than 5lb here. |

Enjoying a fine season and has won twice at Punchestown this term, over 2m4f (gd-yld) in October and 2m3f (yielding) on latest in December (6lb rise for that); will need a career best to go in again and he might prefer a sounder surface. |

14-race maiden over hurdles; has won a point but was pulled up before two out in the hunter chase won by Lawful Ruler at Cork a fortnight ago. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y |

Is 0-13 over hurdles; best form on testing ground so rain would be welcomed; not a bad effort on good to yielding last time when tried in blinkers; each-way claims. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
11st 12lb |
Placed four times over hurdles but had been out of form (largely over fences) until a close third at 66-1 over 2m here on St Stephen's Day (yielding) on handicap hurdle debut; up 3lb for that but chance if he can back it up; slight question mark on this ground. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 150y |
12st 0lb |
Winner of nine of his 18 starts in points; has recorded five wins and three seconds since October for the very capable Emily Costello; however, he put a blot on his record when unseating his rider at the first in a hunter chase at Thurles early last month. |
2/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 184y |
12st 0lb |
Highly dependable in points; never out of the first two in eight starts since a mishap at this venue last March, when he burst a blood vessel; won three in a row during the autumn campaign; found only the promising I Walked The Line too good at Clonmel; clear pick on form and his rider is enjoying an excellent season in points, eight wins from 14 rides. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
10st 5lb |
Dual hurdles winner with his latest win being a C&D victory in January last year off 87 (soft) for Paul Hennessy; best effort for current yard was when runner-up behind a well handicapped rival here on heavy in February; hasn't matched that effort since. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 157y |
10st 8lb |
Best effort for this yard when second behind a well handicapped winner over hurdles at Clonmel in February; reverts to chasing now (won over fences for Emmet Mullins in the summer of 2024); others preferred. |

Had been struggling to find his best form since joining this yard before an encouraging second behind a well handicapped winner at Clonmel in February; failed to build on that in two subsequent starts. |
