11st 2lb |
Won over fences at Kilbeggan before a good second in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at the Galway festival; the race might have come too soon when pulled up at that track four days later; poor on the Flat at Down Royal on next start and down the field in a chase at Listowel last time |

Brother to 2m1f chase winner Doyannie, half-brother to winners James's Gate (bumper) and Black Lightning (2m4f/2m5f hurdle); dam 2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner; useful form when making most in Lingstown maiden point-to-point in December and later in month sold for 150,000GBP at Cheltenham Sales; top yard and obvious appeal on rules debut. |

11st 10lb |
Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan (2m4f) and ran a similar race in defeat in Galway Grade 3 since; bitterly disappointing when pulled up at Wexford latest (favourite; clear of rivals on ratings); needs to bounce back in first-time tongue-tie. |

Dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan over 2m4f and ran a similar race in defeat in a Galway Grade 3 since; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by blinkers; is clear of these rivals on ratings and should take beating. |

Dual hurdle winner over shorter and has already had eight chase runs; beaten 12l by Shadow Paddy on return at Limerick but went one better at Kilbeggan since; cheekpieces added and needs more. |

Decent 110-rated handicap hurdler and 2m Flat winner on heavy as 3yo; not done much Flat racing in recent years and this looks like a prep for a return to jumping. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 150y |
11st 4lb |
Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second over 2m at this venue, when those behind included King Kali (fourth) who was returning after a lengthy absence; three seconds from his last five starts, but lesser displays in between; blinkered first time. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Dual-purpose; sole success over hurdles came off 3lb lower at Bellewstown (2m1f, gd-yld) in April 2024 for Gavin Cromwell; yet to really hit form for this stable, though did run ok over 2m4f here in August; drops in trip and place chance if repeats that off 3lb lower. |

20th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish raider; 0-10 over fences and has same strike-rate over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well-beaten last of three in recent Killarney beginners' chase and has better chance in this handicap but his record over the last year or so is not compelling. |

Has gone the wrong way since shock debut win here in May 2024; heavy defeat over fences at Sligo when last seen in October in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); would be no surprise to see money come for her, but can't have much faith; 9lb wrong. |
