Three-time hurdles winner (rated 123) at around 2m4f on soft/heavy; absent since pulled up after never travelling at Fairyhouse in February but has run well fresh so don't rule out on chase debut. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |

Hit form since joining this yard, winning twice over fences including the Leinster National at Naas; also won over hurdles at Gowran; this ground is faster than ideal but his hurdles mark is appealing. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 0lb |
Built on stable debut second with an easy handicap chase win in December off 114 (3m, soft to heavy); backed that up with a handicap hurdle success at Gowran next time (3m, heavy); not seen to best effect in a slowly run race at Punchestown last time (3m4f, heavy); not discounted with a stronger pace to aim at; 2lb wrong. |

Winning pointer attracted market support on return to Rules' here but faded into sixth, 19l behind the winner; might have needed that after a short break and steps up to a more suitable trip off 1lb lower; not discounted for local yard. |

125-rated hurdler was in good form 2024/25 season, winning twice and running well in 3m Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; well below that level in light campaign last season however and now tries fences. |

11st 12lb |
One-time smart hurdler is yet to win over fences in 11 starts but some decent efforts, notably C&D second at Christmas off 1lb lower (soft-to-heavy); none too fluent and faded tamely over 3m latest; can't rule out back at this track and ground okay (cheekpieces back on for blinkers). |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 165y |

One-time smart hurdler is yet to win over fences in ten starts but some decent efforts; took third here in November (3m, heavy) and went one place better at Limerick when last seen over Christmas with first-time blinkers (retained); up 2lb but his mark is low compared to what it was over hurdles; in the mix. |

Dual-purpose; 2-14 over hurdles, the latest win coming off 5lb lower at Gowran (2m4f, soft) in October; not a bad run when fading in the closing stages at Punchestown latest (23.5f, yielding) after a break; sharper now, this shorter trip a plus and has run well here on the Flat; in the mix. |

Last success over hurdles came in a Downpatrick maiden in July 2022; has never won a handicap of any description and hasn't looked like changing that in recent starts; new blinkers need to provide a spark. |

Confirmed the promise of finishing runner-up at Limerick on seasonal return when winning at Listowel in September and may have found the ground too testing in two subsequent runs; trainer's runners often improve over the larger obstacles and she has each-way claims; yard's second-string. |
