1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Point-to-point (3m) and Killarney maiden hurdle (20.5f) winner; may have needed the run on handicap chase debut when beaten 19.5l at Tramore (2m6f, gd-yld) a month ago but suspicion this trip may be on the sharp side. |

Comes with a point-to-point background; showed nice level of improvement over hurdles to ultimately win 20.5f Killarney maiden; ran a nice race on handicap debut when last seen off 16lb higher hurdles mark; 239-day absence; player. |

Maiden is 0-3 over fences but has run well twice in defeat; runner up at Killarney in July (2m7f, yld-sft) and fourth at Roscommon latest (3m1f, yielding); this trip may be on the sharp side. |

One of two for trainer; C&D maiden winner here last summer (good) and added a second hurdles win at Listowel (2m, good to yielding) next time when vanquishing Paul's Dream into a 3.25l second; form dropped off in three subsequent runs, including here; break needs to have done him good; remains 6lb above last winning mark. |

One of two for yard; followed up his Killarney maiden hurdle win (16.5f, good) with a 3.25l win on handicap debut at Listowel (2m, gd-yld) off 109; disappointing run in a Killarney novice latest when well behind stablemate Wholelotofbusiness; forecast rain a negative. |

Bumper winner who got his sole Flat win at the Galway festival two years ago; fine run back at Galway this year when second of 20 (2m1f, yielding); not a bad run at Killarney following that when behind Ragmans Corner and Pinot Gris but was well beaten behind a lot of these in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; needs more. |
