26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 10lb |
Dual purpose; won a C&D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 182y |
11st 11lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; seemingly perked up by the new blinkers when a rallying third at Dundalk 19 days ago (1m4f); whether he'll be as good again is open to some debate. |

3rd 8 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Sole success for this yard came in Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in 2024; fine effort at big odds over C&D after long layoff in January when fourth to Voice Of Reason but unable to back that up in two subsequent starts; new headgear. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Three times a hurdles winner here and excellent second to well-treated winner in last year's renewal; lost form after but regained it in November when winning Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; below-par since then; back from a break and, given his track record, has to be respected. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Better form over shorter distances after being pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed over C&D and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a competitive handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft) in November; set tough tasks on last three starts, this looks more realistic. |
14/1 |

5th 4 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Has done well over shorter distances since pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed at Gowran (2m, heavy) and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft); tailed off in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 last month and beaten 15l in a Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, soft) last time; likely to find these to be too talented. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland where she was effective on good ground; conditions were heavy when going close at Ffos Las a month ago (3m) and she travelled strongly deep into that race; possibilities off 4lb higher. |

2nd 5 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland, winning just the once; made a quiet start for this yard at Chepstow but in a Class 3 handicap over 2m3f and this is easier; should handle the ground and has form over this far. |

Has lost way since back to back wins in early 2025; pulled up and beaten 76l in last two chase starts; hard to fancy on recent showings. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |
11st 2lb |
Better chaser than hurdler with 2m4f handicap wins last season at Punchestown and Gowran (soft); below best this term over both hurdles and fences, mildly more encouraging run in first-time cheekpieces at Gowran last time; headgear retained for return to fences but others preferred at this trip. |
9/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |

11st 12lb |
Showed potential here and at Ballinrobe in his first two maiden hurdles; never figured when 125-1 for his return to action at Navan but he might have needed that run; he'd have an each-way chance if repeating the form of his first two efforts. |

Got off the mark over hurdles here over a similar trip to this but was poor at Bellewstown since; has to rebound on chasing debut but is at least proven on this track. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Still a maiden after 20 runs over hurdles; not far off her best when fourth over 2m2f at Downpatrick in June; chased home easy winner Chance Another One at Ballinrobe; fourth behind the in-form Mephisto at the same venue nine days ago. |

Two wins over jumps in 2025; last seen on the Flat in September 2024 when well beaten by Sir Allen off a mark of 70; just 3lb lower now and fell in a Wexford handicap chase when last seen in October; others make more appeal. |

Bagged two wins over hurdles this season at Listowel and Kilbeggan over an extended 2m4f; winner of his sole chase start over C&D in August last year (good to yielding) off 102; cheekpieces are now added to the tongue tie and not ruled out. |
