0-9 over hurdles but ran plenty of fine races in defeat last year; off since 4l second of 15 in a Bellewstown handicap off 116 last August; leading chance if he's fit for his return. |

18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 198y |
10st 10lb |
Point winner has been running consistently over fences this season, runner-up in two mares' beginners' before a comfortable win at Ballinrobe in September (2m7f, soft); outclassed in Graded company, but in between those efforts she ran respectably in a four-runner contest around here in October when third; makes handicap chase debut now. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 146y |
11st 0lb |
Gained a first chase win at Ballinrobe on her penultimate run but didn't jump well when tailed off since and probably needs further than this. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 147y |
10st 8lb |
1-11 over hurdles and rated 116, so not in the same league as the principals here; has made a bright start over fences but this is way tougher than winning a mares' race at Ballinrobe over much further. |

Won his bumper here and added a Punchestown maiden hurdle; he's been good and bad in six defeats over fences and current wellbeing is a bit of an issue ahead of this return to hurdling. |

Won Listowel bumper and Punchestown maiden hurdle the season before last; best chase run yet when second at Tramore on New Year's Day; had an excuse when pulled up at Thurles last time; definite chance if restored to his best. |
