26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Won off 4lb lower at Killarney in May, his last run on yielding ground; not as good the last twice on good ground but the return to an easier surface offers hope of an improved run. |
8/1 |

3rd 3 |
17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Mid-field over hurdles at Galway; better judged on his handicap chase win at Killarney on only his second attempt in a handicap chase; likely to confirm form with fourth-placed Ik's Man. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Scored from this mark over fences at Killarney in May and gave the impression a step back up in trip could be in his favour; this looks more competitive but not ruled out. |

Has shown promise in three of her four handicap hurdle starts; best effort yet when narrowly beaten over 2m2f at Ballinrobe last month off 97; 2lb higher now but could be more to come. |

Not the first time she's failed favourite backers in handicap company last time but an excuse did come to light; has the ability to be competitive and a tongue-tie may help. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Beat today's rival The Banger Doyle in a 1m6f maiden at Killarney in 2023; a long time since his last Flat outing; however, he comes here in good shape after an emphatic win in a 2m handicap hurdle at this venue in May. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y |

Back to form with 1.75l front-running second over C&D on penultimate off this mark; never travelled and didn't jump well when poor at Wexford last time; cheekpieces replace blinkers; could rebound back at this venue. |
10/1 |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Flat winner was successful over hurdles at Limerick in December 2024 off 7lb higher; moderate recent form until a change of tactics almost saw him make all at Tramore (2m1f, good to yielding) when headed late home in this headgear combination; could go one better if adopting the same tactics. |

12st 0lb |
Four wins over hurdles, the most recent coming in this race last year off 2lb lower on yielding to soft, his second win over C&D; out of depth on the Flat last time, but this is more suitable and acts on good ground; player. |
8/1 |

6th 5 (3) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 71y |

A winner of six races (four over hurdles and two on the level); however, a Flat rating of just 40 leaves him with heaps to find on these unfavourable terms. |
40/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |

Dual-purpose; 4-33 over hurdles; last won at Killarney off 4lb lower last July (20.5f, yld-sft); good ground is fine but lacks a run and overall record when fresh suggests he'll come on for this run. |

Held his form well after winning a Down Royal handicap last August (2m1f, good to firm); back from a break, he appeared to get outstayed by the front two over 2m3f at Cork; no match for an easy winner at Tramore; one of the main contenders here. |

Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |

Three-time winner over hurdles with the most recent of those coming at Wexford in March (2m, good to yielding) off 104; not too many noteworthy efforts since then, both on Flat and over hurdles, but not bad at the same time; others preferred |

Two handicap hurdle wins for Daisy Hitchins last year (1m7f/2m3f, good to soft) included one off 8lb higher, and an inconsistent profile since the autumn does at least include a Tapeta Flat success and a serviceable chase debut; some positives ahead of stable debut. |

Point-to-point winner's best maiden hurdle run came when beat 3.5l into fifth at Thurles in March (heavy ground); ran a nice race on handicap hurdle debut when fourth at Ballinrobe off 102; went close back in maiden company at Sligo over 2m2f on good ground last time out; not discounted back in a handicap. |
