14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
3-5 as a novice hurdler last season; absent since encouraging third of seven on reappearance outing at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in November but could quite plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won bumper in sole Irish start; steady progress in his first three hurdle races brought two wins, making all at Fontwell (2m2f, soft) on last occasion, but he made a disappointing handicap debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) on latest outing. |

14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Won a maiden hurdle over 2m5f here in May and two decent efforts in defeat since, notably at Downpatrick last time; carries top-weight but this is only her fourth hurdle start so could improve further and yard is in good form so a big player. |

15th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 185y |
11st 8lb |
Rated 114; won a mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, gd-yld) on penultimate; not as good on latest in a mares' hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good); the step back up in trip is a plus so she could rebound. |

26th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 76y |
10st 8lb |
Now 0-10 over hurdles but ran well before fading into third at Navan in December (3m1f, soft to heavy); failed to back that up when tailed off at Ayr; this trip looks a bit short; cheekpieces. |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 80y |

Showed some ability in bumpers last year without winning; hasn't really kicked on over hurdles but was keeping on over 2m7f at Killarney last time; this trip should suit and can be a player. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Came back from a long layoff to start last season's campaign with back-to-back handicap hurdle wins at Navan and Leopardstown; soundly beaten in a good-ground handicap at Ballinrobe after six months off; any rain that falls is likely to be in his favour. |

21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |
11st 4lb |
Came back from a long layoff to start last season's campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Navan (soft-to-heavy) and Leopardstown (yielding); beaten favourite in two novice hurdles in January; perhaps some doubt about how he will handle the ground. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
133-rated hurdler; already on 139 over fences after an unbeaten start, winning his first two (2m4f/2m1f) comfortably and then game in conceding weight all round in a Grade 3 at Galway (2m2f, good to yielding); faces the same scenario here, but this 6yo has some size about him and he's improving. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 |
30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 5lb |
Smart hurdler won four races in that sphere including in Listed company last year; pulled-up in a Grade 1 Aintree novice on return in April; quickly rebounded with a Limerick novice chase win over Le Coq Hardi and followed up at Killarney; already looks a better chaser and respected despite a double penalty. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 |
17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Top-rated of these over hurdles (133), winning four from ten; trounced his four rivals on chasing debut at Limerick in May (2m4f, good to yielding), jumping fluently and travelling strongly; that was a very promising first run over fences and he can make it back-to-back wins despite dropping back in trip. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 40y |
11st 3lb |
Rewarded for her consistency when getting the better of a good scrap in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Navan two weeks ago; up another 5lb and the softer ground is a probable concern but certainly respected. |

1st 9 |
19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Just failed in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Sligo last month and ran to a similar level over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last week; up 5lb in total but hard to see her out of the money if in similar form. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-19 but returned to form when beaten a neck at Sligo (2m4f, good) last month with the aid of a first-time tongue-tie (retained) to complement regular cheekpieces; cannot dismiss but record is off-putting. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 55y |

Hasn't troubled the judge in handicaps but bit more encouraging at Limerick on latest although didn't seem to quite stay 2m3f; drop back in trip to suit and not one to rule out. |

Maiden has been consistent in defeat on last three starts; beaten 6l over 2m5f at Sligo last time and this shorter trip may suit better; one to consider. |

A 250-1 Listowel maiden hurdle winner two years ago; added 2m Tramore handicap chase over the summer but two hurdle runs since a tad underwhelming, okay effort at Killarney latest; more needed. |

A 250-1 Listowel maiden hurdle winner two years ago; won a 2m Tramore handicap chase last month, despite jumping left; beaten 14 in fifth when favourite for a handicap hurdle at Listowel nine days ago; still the most appealing of Eoin McCarthy's three runners. |

A 250-1 C&D maiden hurdle winner two years ago; was gaining his first win since when landing 2m Tramore handicap chase last month, despite jumping left; reverts to hurdles here off 6lb lower than chase mark and one to consider. |
