11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Flat winner but he's 0-9 over hurdles and has been beaten 17l or more in four handicaps (2m1f-3m) since November; mark continues to fall but he needs the cheekpieces to make a difference on this drop back in trip. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner whose sole win in 23 starts under rules came in a Down Royal maiden hurdle last May; not shown much this year until chase debut at Tramore last time, falling two out when still in contention (Drop A Threat fourth); should build on that. |

Won three handicaps for previous yard and likes good ground; 1m6f Flat winner last year when her hurdles form wasn't great; has dropped down to last winning mark, but not a hectic record when fresh and last two wins have come in cheekpieces. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
10st 13lb |
A 23-race maiden whose last run over hurdles came in 2023 over C&D when well beaten off 93; returned from a break with a decent third at Tramore (1m4f, good to yielding); not as good at Galway last time; others more likely. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a similar handicap at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in March and made another bold bid when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; only just caught in that race and he's 4lb well in off the same mark here; strongly respected. |

2nd 1 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

He only beat two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) and the 6lb rise appeared to find him out when behind Midnight View at Warwick; he's back down 2lb but they did claim 3lb off his back last time. |
4/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |

Front-runner loves it here; won this last year and caught late when second over C&D in August; lack of a prep run is the concern, because his record fresh is not good. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 10lb |
Bagged eighth career win at Roscommon in May (1m4f, good); back down to winning mark when a neck second back at that track on his penultimate run; underwhelming at Galway most recently when well behind (1m4f, soft); three of his wins have come at this distance but he may not appreciate the ground. |
