Dual hurdle winner at Thurles (2m6f/2m) didn't run too badly, having been hampered, on recent run; not one to rule out. |

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. |

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. |

Veteran added a fourth win when landing a C&D handicap in July (good) off this mark; third of 16 at Kilbeggan last time suggests he still retains some level of ability. |

Has generally struggled since winning at Galway (22.5f, good) last September; a bit better when a plugging-on third of 16 at Tramore (2m5f, gd-yld) on latest but was 16l behind the winner; longer trip here a plus. |

10st 11lb |
2-42 when trained in Ireland; respectable fourth under Ben Smith at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February was easily the best of her four races for new yard; 7lb lower today but she probably can't be relied upon. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |
11st 0lb |
Won at Killarney last July off 12lb lower; respectable run in Cork National (3m4f, gd-yld) off 106 (3lb wrong) last November; pulled up back there three weeks later; out of depth in Killarney National on return from break latest; these are calmer waters and could rebound. |

Went up 9lb for a Killarney win in July; ran poorly at the same venue in August; more like it again when second to a well-handicapped horse at Punchestown; again runner-up at Galway last Sunday (10l clear of the third) and at Thurles on Thursday; 3lb out of the handicap in this more demanding company. |
